Hello my dear readers,
I wanted to write this post for a very long time.
Or to be exact since February 25th.
Why?
Because Megyn Kelly sent the following tweet:
” Umm … there was a problem getting the shells off… “
https://twitter.com/megynkelly/status/1100030472632102912
MY OPRAH’S “AHA MOMENT”
At that “AHA” moment I realized people need to know simple things:
Like how to boil eggs or how to get the shells off.
And yes, I know Megyn is wrapped in a magical shell of 69 millions and she can hired any help she wants to.
But she does not. She wants to do it.
So, from there my mind went flying to average Joe and this post was born.
(If you are asking me, why not Jane, sorry I like to slave men…in the kitchen.)
AVERAGE JOE 3 QUESTIONS

How to make deviled Barbie eggs?
So, let’s do it baking nation.
ACTION TIME
Shopping List
- Organic eggs (large)
- Ricotta cheese
- Feta cheese
- Sour cream (14% or 18%)
- Carrots
Now, let’s start with first question:
How to boil eggs?
Before we start important tips:
- Use older eggs! Fresh eggs are harder to peel.
- Use organic eggs
- Bring eggs to room temperature before you boiled them.
If you don’t have a few hours available and you need to bring eggs to the room temperature quickly
use the following method:
BRING EGGS TO ROOM TEMPERATURE
Put eggs in a bowl of very warm water.
Wait 5 to 7 minutes and you have room temperature eggs.
HOW TO HARD BOIL EGGS?
Place eggs in a medium size saucepan and add 1 TBSP white vinegar.
Cover them with cool water.
Bring eggs to rolling boil over high heat.
When the water has reached a boil, set the timer for 12 minutes.
Important: Boil the eggs for 12 at medium heat.
If you really like hard, hard boiled eggs set your timer for 15 minutes.
After 12 minutes or your ideal time, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the eggs rest for 10 minutes.
Then drain the hot water and run cold water over eggs until cooled.
REMOVE SHELLS
AVERAGE JOE: How to remove shells from hard boiled eggs?
Removing the shells is easy work as long as you follow a few simple tricks.
If your eggs are cooled, remove them from water.
Dry them using a paper towel.
Take your first egg and tap each end on your counter top, to crack the shell.
After that the egg will be easy to peel. Trust me.
Please, be patient with this process. It is super easy, just don’t rush.
