Peeling Eggs

If you are on instagram (follow me at kristenatcop!) you saw me brag about my egg peeling skills.

I'm a pro egg peeler y'all!  I do it the same way every time and it almost always works out perfectly.

Here's how I do it!
I didn't have a blog post planned today so this is what you guys get.

The trick is all about the membrane.  I tap the egg on the top and the bottom several times.  Then I peel a little off to open the membrane on both sides.


I start at one end and peel a line down the egg making sure I peel that membrane off.

I do everything under room temperature tap water.

After I get the line I wedge my thumb in between the membrane and the egg white.  Then I press and lift gently.


Occasionally you get a dud that is just stubborn.

I peeled five eggs and only one was difficult.



My favorite way to eat hardboiled eggs...

With paleo mayo and pepper!

We also love the scotch eggs from Well Fed.


That recipe alone is worth buying the book!


What is your trick to peel hardboiled eggs or what is your favorite way to eat them?  

Tomorrow is five favorites Friday.  I'm going to do five favorite fitness items!
