Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled or hard cooked eggs have been brought to a boil and then simmered or removed from the heat and allowed to cook all the way though to harden the white and yolk of the egg.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Depending on the recipe, you may want to hard cook your eggs well in advance to allow the eggs a chance to cool down properly before using. Note that the white part of the egg can get very rubbery when overcooked or when refrigerated overnight.
