Several years ago, a well known chef friend of mine was on a mission to cook an egg perfectly. Truth be told, at the time I didn’t get it. Here’s a internationally recognized chef focused on cooking…an egg. It seemed so simple. Ever since I was young, my mom fried, scrambled, boiled, or poached eggs almost daily. If she wasn’t cooking them individually, they were going into cookies, cakes, casseroles or any number of other types of dishes. Eggs were probably the first thing I ever even tried to cook because it seemed so simple. However, I learned I was wrong. Cooking an egg is harder than it looks and not everyone knows how to do it. I suppose all of those years watching my mom and grandma model the egg cooking process engrained it in the neuronal networks of my brain. So…here is hard boiling an egg in five steps.
Step 1…Get a fresh egg (or however many you want to boil).
