My mom made boiled eggs pretty regularly. It is the one item I thought I had down to a science. Place eggs in a large pot cover with cold water, bring to a boil, boil for 10 minutes uncovered. Drain and peel. Simple right?
Wrong! I love to watch Good Eats with Alton Brown. He is a cooking rockstar. I love how he gets all science-y in the kitchen. Very specific. I can follow that. So the other day I was watching an episode on Spinach Salad and he boils eggs. My jaw dropped. Eggs don't have to have yucky gray yolks? They can be yellow and fluffy? What is this magic?
Fast forward to today when Terry buys eggs and says he wants to boil some. We find the episode and give it a try.
Place your eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from the heat and set aside 15 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water and peel.
They were amazing! Fluffy yolks! Now I can eat the yolks. We pulled out some tuna and pickles and mayo for the normal people and had a delicious dinner. I think my mom would approve.
