Let’s talk eggs.

Chicken eggs.

Because fish eggs creep me out a bit.

Especially if they’re bright green…

I mean, that can’t be natural.

These suspicious green fish eggs were located on my Mariner’s game sushi roll a few months back.

I’m still not sure what to think about all that. But I ate it anyways. Food at sporting events is always $$$ so you have to finish it, otherwise it’s like throwing a 20 in the garbage, er compost since Seattle is so environmentally conscious and everything.

So green eggs were consumed. (Clearly I was too lazy to scrape them off.)

Back to chicken eggs.

I will eat (chicken) eggs in any form as long as they’re not runny.

Can’t do it.

Believe me I’ve tried.

Just like I’ve tried so many times to like shrimp.

That’s a lost cause.

I’m definitely a texture person.

Creamy scrambled eggs are always a safe bet.

Fried eggs is where things tend to get a little sketchy.

I’ve learned to use the term “hard fried” at restaurants, then the gooey, runny problem is almost always solved.

Hard boiled eggs are another safe route when it comes to eggs.

Because “hard” is straight up in the title.

It’s really easy to make a perfect hard boiled egg too.

All you have to do is…

Place your eggs in a single layer in the bottom of a pot.

Fill the pot with cold water. There should be about 1 inch of water above the eggs.

Bring the pot of water and eggs to a boil, then simply cover, remove from heat, and let the pot sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.

Drain the eggs, rinse them under cold water briefly, then cool them off in an ice water bath.

The ice water bath is necessary, because the eggs will continue to cook if you give them the chance.

(That gray/green line between the yolk and white means your eggs are overdone!)

Now you can enjoy your hard boiled eggs as is.

Or you could whip up some deviled eggs. (One of my favorites.)

Or, you could throw together an egg salad!

This healthy egg salad is quite similar to my tuna salad, but I have a recipe for you anyway just in case you need a little help.

Perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs are mixed with creamy vegan mayo, zesty lemon juice, red onion for some bite, dried parsley, mild paprika, flavorful ground mustard, good ole S&P, plus fresh chives to garnish.

Make a quick and healthy sandwich by layering the egg salad between two slices of whole grain bread with a crisp lettuce leaf and a couple slices of juicy, sweet tomatoes.

P.S. Egg salads are not just for grannies.
