I got your back peeps.  Hard boiled eggs can be such a pain to peel.  Half the time I end up wasting a huge chunk of the egg because it stuck to the shell.  My kids love eggs but hate the peeling part so that means if I don’t do it for them, they don’t eat them. Lazy!

Using your Instant Pot is the simplest way to make one dozen Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs.  If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, you are going to want to get one.  It’s my new best friend in the kitchen and I am so excited to wake up and use it every day.  It can make the moistest chicken ever!

It basically does the job of your slow cooker, rice steamer, yogurt maker, steamer, saute pan and pressure cooker all in one.  I repeat… you are going to want an Instant Pot.  

Each week I use it for meal prep including these Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs, quinoa and chicken for my salads.  I also make these Paleo Quiche Cups and Bacon and Egg Cups for Sunday meal prep.

Look how perfect those Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs are!  Perfect solid center and no messy peeling.  You are going to thank me for this one.

How to make Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs…

• Put one dozen eggs on the rack in your Instant Pot and add 1 cup of cold water. 
• If you don’t have a rack for your instant pot use a steamer basket.
• Lock the lid on and set your Instant Pot to 6 minutes on manual.
• When it’s done, set the timer for 5 minutes and let the steam release naturally
• After the 5 minutes is up, you can release the remaining steam manually by turning the dial on top (make sure to use a dishtowel so you don’t burn yourself)
• Immediately place the eggs in a large bowl filled with ice water
• Store the hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for up to one week.  I put them back in the egg container and write hard-boiled on top.

It’s that simple!  Meal prep can make a huge difference in your health and your general attitude (less stress about what to eat!) I know that when I have healthy food prepped for me in the fridge I don’t reach for the bad stuff.  It takes time and planning but it’s so worth it.
