Eggs-elent way to cook hard boiled eggs

No more insanity trying to peel eggs!  This method WORKS!  I’ll never cook eggs the old way again.  This method works on FRESH EGGS, not just old ones.  No more waiting for them to age first.

1.  Bring your eggs to room temperature.  Don’t worry, it’s safe, people have been leaving eggs out for ages.  They are perfectly contained little protein pearls, so just leave them on the counter overnight.

2.  Bring a pot of water to a boil.  Yes, a hard boil.  No, I’m not kidding.  Just do it.

3. When water is boiling, add 1 tsp of salt.

4.  Lower your ROOM TEMPERATURE eggs into the water with a ladle.

5.  Continue boiling, for exactly 14 minutes.

6.  Remove eggs from heat and run tap water over the eggs until all hot water has been replaced.

7. Add some ice and let cool for 5 minutes.

8.  Don’t go insane peeling, the peel falls right off.

Scotch Eggs

Mushroom and Bacon Bake

BACON & MUSHROOM BAKE
4-5 slices bacon, chopped
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
8 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
Dash pepper
4 green onions, chopped

In a large skillet, fry the bacon until crisp, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Remove the bacon from the pan and sauté the mushrooms in the reserved bacon grease until tender and the liquid has evaporated. Season with a little salt and pepper. Spread the cheese in a greased 11.75×7.5″ baking dish. Top with the mushrooms, then the bacon and green onions. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, cream, salt, celery salt and a dash of pepper. Pour evenly over everything. Bake at 350º 35-40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Deviled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs
Mustard (yellow, Dijon or spicy brown, etc.)
Mayonnaise
Dill or sugar free sweet pickle relish
Chives, minced
Dry Mustard
Seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, Spicy Seasoning Salt, etc.)

Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise; remove the yolks to a bowl. Combine the yolks with the remaining ingredients to taste and add enough mayonnaise to make them creamy; beat or whisk until smooth. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the whites; sprinkle with paprika, Spicy Seasoning Salt and/or minced chives.

Quantities and carb count will vary, but figure about 1 net carb for 2 egg halves. An easy way to pipe the filling into the whites is to put the filling in a zipper bag, seal, then snip off one corner and squeeze into the whites.
