For a nutritious breakfast: How to make perfect boiled eggs every morning?

If you’re thinking of shedding off those extra kilos and giving an energetic start to your mornings, what can be better than having boiled eggs? According to several nutritionists, hard-boiled eggs are a rich source of lean protein and contain very few calories, fats and carbs. Moreover, eggs also contain amino acids to add an extra energy dose.

However, not everyone can cook a perfect hard-boiled egg. Ever came across a grey-green ring around the yolk and felt disgusted with its taste? If it’s perfectly cooked, the yolk should be creamy and mellow. You can even cook soft and gooey boiled egg instead.

Here’s a recipe by Sahil Pruthi from Keto.India that you can take help from.

·        When the water has reached a boil, set the timer for the desired time.

Worried that you would crack eggs while boiling them? Here’s a simple trick to avoid that from happening. Add a teaspoon of vinegar to the water. It helps keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking. Many people also add half a teaspoon of salt to the water. Not only it helps prevent eggs from cracking but also makes it easier to peel them.

How long should you boil an egg? If it is a soft-boiled egg, it takes four minutes, for medium boiled eggs, cook for five minutes. If you cook it for six to seven minutes, it takes the shape of creamy yet firm boiled eggs.

Do you like firm and hard-boiled eggs? You should boil it straight for nine minutes.
