Here’s a foolproof way to cook them, so they look and taste delicious. But before we fill them, a quick primer on how to make the best hard boiled eggs, ever:
- Place 6 large eggs in saucepan large enough to
hold them in single layer. Add cold water to cover the eggs by 1

the pan. Let the eggs sit in the hot water about 12 minutes. Remove from the pan, let cool completely and either
peel or store in the refrigerator for a week.
