Hard-Boiled Eggs
As boring as this “recipe” may sound, boiled eggs are a meal-preppers dream. A boiled egg is a great “side dish” to any breakfast, as they provide a great dose of protein. A boiled egg and a prepped smoothie for breakfast? Yes please.
Serves: 7 boiled eggs (one egg per serving, as a protein hit)
Container: you can store these any way you like, you could even put them in the egg holder inside your fridge to save using a separate bowl or container
Time: approximately 20 minutes (including cooling time)

Method:
- Bring a pot of water to the boil (enough water to thoroughly cover the eggs).
- Bring the temperature down slightly so the boiling is not so vigorous.
- Very gently place the eggs into the pot with a large spoon.
- Set the timer for 9 minutes and leave the eggs to gently boil.
- Once the timer beeps, place the pot under a tap of cold water until all of the water in the pot is cold.
- Leave the eggs to cool in the cold water for about 10 minutes before placing them in the fridge.
- I leave the shell of my hard-boiled eggs until right before eating them, as I find it easier to store them with shell on.
