How to Make Easter Hard Boiled Eggs

  1. Place eggs gently in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 12 minutes.
  4. After 12 minutes, drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs until they are completely cool. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
  5. Gently tap the eggs all over on a hard surface to create small cracks in the shell.
  6. Peel the eggs under cold running water for easy removal of the shell.
  7. Decorate your eggs with food coloring or other creative designs.
  8. Enjoy your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs in the traditional egg-tapping game!
