Mashed Hard-Boiled Eggs
*aka*
"Alas, Poor Yolk! I knew him well."
Serves 1
Ingredients
Four eggs
2 tablespoons butter, or to taste (I used salted Kerrygold)
Pepper (I used freshly ground)
Directions
Boil eggs in a rolling boil for 15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and plunge immediately into bowl of ice water (this turns your yolks the pretty yellow instead of sulfuric grey). Shell the eggs while they are still warm, place in a bowl, mash with butter, garnish with pepper, and serve. This goes well alongside the parsnip hashbrowns.

This is flipping delicious. I just ate one and now Im making more! Thank you for such a simple yet deliciou idea. I may use my egg slicer to prep it fresh out of the steamer.
ReplyDeleteThe grey only happens when the eggs are overboiled
ReplyDeleteThis.
DeleteA way to avoid this is to hard"boil" eggs using the oven. Done best in a silicon muffin tin or silicon baking cups. Just because otherwise where the egg touches the tin there will be a brown spot on the egg.
How long can they keep in the fridge without spoiling? One day?
