Notes

TO STORE: Place leftover unpeeled eggs in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to five days. Peeled eggs will stay fresh for up to three days.

TO REHEAT: Place the eggs in a bowl of warm water and let them soak for 15 minutes.

Peel the eggs perfectly

There is a bit of a trick to peeling an egg, and don’t fret if it takes you a couple of tries. Here’s the method I find most effective:

Gently crack the egg. Remove the egg from the bowl of ice water and gently crack it on a hard surface.
Start from the base. Begin peeling from the larger side of the egg. This is also where you’ll find the air pocket, making it easier to get under the shell and remove larger pieces.
Look for the membrane. The membrane is the thin piece that separates the egg from the shell. If you see this, peel from there to help peel more of the shell.
Go slowly. Patience is key! I’ve found that some eggs are trickier than others, but it can be done.
Run it underwater. To remove the last remaining bits of shell.
