Ingredients
Eggs
Spinach leaves
Preparation
Bring a pot of water to the boil.
Drop in the eggs with enough room for them to bob in the water.
Boil to your preferred doneness,
6 min = runny yolk and soft whites
7 min = fully cooked white with a jammy centre
10 min = fully bard boiled egg
12 min hard yolk
NOTE: any longer than 12 min you will end up with a grey ring. This is called iron sulfide, not dangerous just unappealing.
Dropped the eggs into ice water bath, this is important if you have a specific doneness, you are after. But also assist in easy pealing.
After 15 min and on a tea towel in quick gentle bursts crack the whole exterior of the eggs and peel.
NOTE: it is easier to peel the eggs in the water bath (if you can stand the cold water) this makes it easier when water gets between the egg and shell.
Enjoy now or within 4 days with some spinach.
