Hard-boiled Egg

Preparation Time : -

Cooking Time : 22 minutes

Yield : 1 hard-boiled egg

Freezer-friendly : No

This is my all time favorite easy peasy breakfast and my girl too! You might wonder why the cooking time is 22 minutes, much longer than the usual 3 minutes hard-boiled egg. I must say, the result is too much difference!

The egg cooked this way is 1) much tender/softer that it is easily mashed with fork and suitable for baby's chewing.

2) nicer looking, look closer at the first picture, you cannot see the greenish layer on the outer surface of egg yolk that you get using the traditional method.

The actual cooking time is actually 2 minutes, the rest is waiting time, so no waste of gas.

Ingredients:

1 egg

Water as needed

Steps:

1) Put egg in a pot and fill with water so that water covers the egg.

2) Bring the water to boil under high heat. When the water comes to boil, set timer for 1 minute. 

3) Keep the water boiling under high heat. Off heat when timer goes off.

4) Cover the pot with lid and set timer for 20 minutes.

5) Remove the egg from water when timer goes off, remove shell and mash with fork.
