• Peel the eggs, quarter and plate them.

• Immediately pour off the hot water from the eggs, then run cool water over them in the saucepan until completely cool.
• Tap each egg lightly on the kitchen counter to crackle the shell. Roll the egg between your hands to loosen the shell, then peel starting at the large end. If the shell is hard to peel, hold egg under cold water while peeling.
