Hard-boiled eggs are a simple yet versatile recipe known worldwide. This dish gained popularity due to its nutritional value and ease of storage. Traditionally, eggs are boiled in boiling water for 8-10 minutes to achieve firm whites and rich yolks. After boiling, they are cooled in cold water to make peeling easier. The taste of hard-boiled eggs is mild, with a light creamy texture of the yolk that pairs perfectly with salt, spices, or mayonnaise. They are widely used in salads, snacks, sandwiches, and even hot dishes. Historically, hard-boiled eggs have been a staple food in many cultures due to their high nutritional value and simplicity of preparation.
