How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs:
Everyone has their own special way of making Hard Boiled Eggs. We like making them in oven. This method is fool proof and the eggs cook perfectly.
Feel free to prepare your eggs in the instant pot, stove top in a large pot and more. We even like to prepare ahead of time to make this recipe even easier.
Deviled Eggs Pimento Cheese Recipe Tips:
- Prepare Eggs – We recommend preparing eggs ahead of time to easily make this recipe. Cook the eggs with a soft center and peel the boil eggs once they have cooled.
- Preparing the Yolk Mixture – Combine the ingredients together in a food processor. You want to just combine and not completely puree the mixture.
- Adding Mixture – When you are ready to add mixture to the egg whites. We recommend using a piping bag to easily add to the egg whites.
- Divide Yolk Filling – You want to make sure that you are evenly adding the mixture to the egg whites.
- Garnish Egg – You can easily garnish the eggs with many toppings. Sprinkle with hot sauce, smoked paprika or chopped green onions.
How to Peel Hard Boiled Eggs Easily:
There are many ways to peel hard boiled eggs. Peeling eggs can get tricky and can cause your eggs to not look very pleasing. These are some of favorite ways to peel hard eggs.
- Older Eggs – I find that using older eggs make it easy to peel them when hard boiled.
- Chill Eggs – Everyone has their own method to boiling eggs. But I like to place them in a cold water ice bath after baking. This usually causes the shell to peel right off.
- Roll the Egg – After you egg has cooled, gently roll the egg on the counter. This helps to crack the shell making it easy to peel.
- Peel at the Bottom – On the bottom of the egg there is a air pocket. I simply hit the bottom of the egg on the counter which makes it crack. Then start peeling from that air pocket. The shell will come right off.
Frequently Asked Questions:
