Pro Tips

  • ✓Hard-boiled eggs keep in the fridge unpeeled for up to 7 days — make a batch of 6 for the week.
  • ✓The ice bath stops cooking immediately and makes peeling significantly easier.
  • ✓Slightly older eggs (5–7 days) peel more easily than very fresh ones.
  • ✓Elevate this snack by adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil over the eggs.
