Tips

  • Poke a tiny hole on the flatter end of each egg to release air pressure and make peeling easier.
  • Boiling eggs for 6 and a half minutes results in a perfect jammy yolk.
  • Marinating eggs for two days allows the marinade to reach the center, flavoring the whites and keeping the yolk jammy.
