TLN Quick Meals: Hard-Boiled Eggs


Eggs are not only an excellent source of protein, they are a good source of Vitamin E and other key nutrients.

Eggs are also very accessible, economical and can be prepared in a variety of ways that are quick and easy.

It is a great idea to make up 6-12 hard-boiled eggs at time. They can be kept in the fridge and used throughout the week for lunch boxes and on-the-go snacks and breakfasts.

If you always seem to over- or undercook hard-boiled eggs, according to FoodNetwork.com:

The best way to make easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs with pure yellow centers is to place the eggs in a pot of cold water and add a teaspoon of salt. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and remove from heat and let sit for 13 minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately place in an ice bath until completely cooled. Drain and enjoy your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs.
