Tips & Hints
Alternatively, use the traditional method for making hard boiled eggs:
Half fill a saucepan with cold water and gently lower the eggs into pan.
Heat over medium heat. Once the water reaches a simmer, start the timer for 8 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water.
Cool eggs by running them under cold water for 30-60 seconds or placing them in a bowl of iced water.
Egg salad can be made in advance. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
