Deviled Eggs Are A Healthy Holiday Snack

When the holidays roll around, so many treats are loaded with sugar.

Deviled eggs are high in protein and are usually relatively low in carbs.

Bring a platter of these easy-deviled eggs to your next holiday party. It’ll ensure that you have a healthier snack option.

How To Boil Eggs For Deviled Eggs

The number one tip I have for you is how to hard-boil eggs to peel easily.

This has probably been your biggest frustration if you have ever made deviled eggs. I’m here to solve this for you.

Easy To Peel Eggs 101

  1. Bring the water to a boil BEFORE you add the eggs!
  2. Add the eggs to the boiling water using a spoon.
  3. Set up an ice bath.
  4. Boil for 7 to 8 minutes.
  5. Drain the water off of the eggs and add the eggs to the ice bath.
  6. Add the eggs to the water after it’s boiling helps them pull apart from the shell easier.

When you add the eggs in the very beginning, not only is it harder to cook them to the correct doneness, they have more chance of sticking to the shell.

I promise with this method you will get easy to peel every single time hard-boiled eggs.
