The Stovetop Method
Reheating your hard boiled egg with boiling water doesn’t take much longer than microwaving. With no pre-cutting of the egg, you are one step closer to the finish line.
Step 1: Place egg, still in shell, in a heat proof bowl.
Step 2: Pour boiling water over egg until it is just submerged.
Step 3: Cover bowl with dish to keep steam inside.
Step 4: Remove egg from water.
Step 5: Crack shell, peel and enjoy!
An Even Simpler Way!
If you are cooking your eggs you must always use boiling water. But for reheating it can be as simple as holding your pre-hard-boiled egg under hot water.
How to Use Your Eggs
With your rejuvenated eggs you can make delicious recipes, add them to salads, or just enjoy them on their own.
Egg salad is a respectable choice but just make sure not to freeze it. Because of consistency and its ingredients, freezing egg salad isn’t the best idea.
Adding your eggs to a green salad is a wonderful way to add protein to your already healthy veggies. Chop up a carrot, a cucumber and toss with lettuce greens and your chopped eggs (and even to make it a cobb!) and there you have it!
It’s Worth It
Your eggs are worth saving. They are packed with nutrients and some might consider them the perfect food. There are so many other ways to use your refreshed hard-boiled eggs.
