Boiled Eggs

Enjoy the simplicity of perfectly boiled eggs, seasoned with salt, pepper, and a hint of vinegar for a delightful twist. Ideal for a nutritious breakfast or as a protein-packed snack any time of day.

• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 sprigs coriander
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1. 1

   Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs and add salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

2. 2

   Once the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs to the pot using a spoon to avoid cracking.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and allow the eggs to cook for about 9-12 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness (9 minutes for slightly soft yolks, 12 minutes for hard-boiled).

4. 4

   While the eggs are boiling, prepare a bowl of ice water. This will help cool the eggs quickly after cooking.

5. 5

   Once the eggs are done, transfer them immediately to the ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   After cooling, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water for easier removal.

7. 7

   Optionally, heat vegetable oil in a small pan and fry chopped coriander for a minute. This will enhance the flavor and aroma.

8. 8

   Slice the boiled eggs in half, season with black pepper and optional fried coriander, then serve warm or at room temperature.
