How to Cook Perfectly Hard-Boiled Eggs

Megan Ginsberg is a Senior Editor for EatingWell. She has a keen eye for grammar is always looking for new recipes to try and loves the satisfaction of meal planning. The majority of her 20-year editing career has been focused on food content.

Weekends are usually a time to unwind from the Monday-Friday grind but for me it’s also a time to set myself up for success the following week. That means a little meal planning grocery shopping and a few things to prep for the week ahead. One thing I like to do is roast a chicken every week; another thing I like to do is make a batch of hard-boiled eggs every week.

My husband and I are both quite active as he is training for a marathon in November and I regularly do strength training walking running and yoga. We often use eggs as a source of protein and energy for these activities. One large egg contains 6 grams of protein and eggs are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D a nutrient that supports bone health. You may already be incorporating eggs into your daily meal plans for these benefits.
