What is a proper stovetop method for making hard-boiled eggs?

Start with eggs that are a little older. Eggs that have been in the refrigerator for 2 weeks work best.

Bring eggs to room temperature before cooking.

Always start with cold water, and use a smaller pot so the eggs have little room to move around and bump into each other which can cause cracking.

Once the water boils, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Allow the eggs to remain in the pot for 10-12 minutes. *Note - cooking hard-boiled eggs too long will produce that unappetizing grey ring around the yolk. A kitchen timer or even Alexa works great for minding the time.

Once cooked, carefully drain the hot water from the pot and run cold water over the cooked eggs to cool.

Once cooled completely, peel the eggs and continue with the recipe.

Want to cook your hard-boiled eggs in the instant pot?

A Mindful Mom shows you how!

How long will hard-boiled eggs keep in the refrigerator?

You can safely store hard-boiled eggs up to 7 days in the refrigerator.

Can deviled ham and eggs be made in advance?

I recommend only making the deviled eggs one-day before you plan to serve. However, you can cook the hard-boiled eggs up to seven days before preparing the deviled eggs.

How long will deviled ham and eggs keep in the refrigerator?

Once prepared, refrigerate the deviled eggs immediately in an air-tight container, or covered well with plastic wrap.

Deviled ham and eggs will keep up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Can deviled eggs be frozen?

I don't recommend it.

Once a cooked egg white is frozen it becomes very tough and rubbery making for a very unpleasant eating experience.

What is the best way to make ham crumbles?

I used the food processor along with some leftover ham I had in the refrigerator.

Pulsing the ham in the food processor a few times makes a nice, crumbly mixture.

However, using a chef's knife will also work to chop the ham into small, itty-bitty pieces. Small ham pieces work best for piping the creamy yolk filling.

What are some other uses for the ham and egg yolk filling?

• Spread on toast or crackers.
• Use it as a dip for veggies or breadsticks.
• Fill celery sticks with it.
• What are some of your ideas? I'd love to hear.
