How do you get boiled eggs to peel easily?

While some recommend adding vinegar or baking soda to your water to make it easier to peel your eggs, you honestly don’t need either. For perfectly easy to peel eggs do the following:

• Your pot should be large enough to hold all the eggs in a single layer.
• Start with cold eggs, and boiling water.
• Shock the eggs immediately after cooking by either rinsing in very cold water or placing them in an ice bath for 5-10 minutes. For best results, use an ice bath.
• To peel, break the egg at the big end first where there is an air bubble. Don’t roll them around to break the shell. That’s a mess and not necessary.

About the Ingredients for Avocado Deviled Eggs

Eggs – Cook following my tips for perfect hard-boiled eggs.

Avocados – They need to be ripe. Good luck.

Lemon juice – Adds a bit of tang but mostly helps to keep the avocado from turning an unappetizing colour.

Mayo – We use this Avocado Mayonnaise, but you would also use regular mayo for a less avocado forward flavour.

Seasonings – We use red pepper flakes for a little heat. Prefer more (or less) heat? Simply adjust the amount of crushed red pepper until you find the right balance. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper finish out the flavour profile.

8 large eggs
2 medium avocados

½ t. garlic powder
½ t. onion powder
½ t. smoked paprika
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
3 T. fresh parsley, minced

Directions:

Bring a large pot of water to a full boil.

Use a fine mesh strainer or spider tool to gently lower the eggs into the boiling water.

Drain the eggs and rinse in cold water to stop cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, gently peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
