How To Hard Boil Eggs On Stove Top

One of the more simple methods to cooking eggs, hard boiling involves boiling whole eggs in water until the whites and yolks are solidified. You’ve probably heard of soft, medium, and hard boiled eggs, which refers to the texture of the yolk. Since we’ll be piping the finished filling onto the egg whites, it’s better for the yolk to be solid and dry.

There are three steps to the traditional process:

Add eggs to a pot of cold water and bring to a boil.
After boiling anywhere from 8 to 10 minutes (for a dryer yolk, boil up to 10 minutes), remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and immediately place them in an ice bath.
Once they’re cooled, peel off the shell. Slice and enjoy!

Hard boiling the eggs in an Instant Pot is even better, as it will save you the time and effort that usually comes with cooking and watching the eggs on a stove top.

How To Hard Boil Eggs In An Instant Pot

If you have an Instant Pot, I definitely recommend using it for this recipe. Rather than watching and timing the eggs as they cook, you can “set it and forget it” using my instructions:

Place a stainless steel strainer/steamer basket in the bowl of the Instant Pot.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bowl, then place the eggs in the strainer/steamer basket. Put the lid on and secure it by locking it in the closed position.
Press Manual, then the minus button until you reach 6 minutes on the display. Set on High Pressure. Make sure the vent on the top of the lid is in the closed position. It will take about 4 to 5 minutes to reach pressure.
While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Prep the deviled eggs garnishes and toppings as well.
When the eggs are done, use an oven mitt to turn the vent valve to release the steam. Wait until all of the steam/pressure has escaped before removing the lid.
Immediately place eggs into the ice bath and allow them to cool for a couple minutes.
Carefully tap each egg on a hard surface a few times to loosen the shell, then peel entirely. Slice in half and enjoy!

Grating the egg yolks for the filling. Other ingredients ready to be added in are pickled onion, mustard, paprika, and mayo.

How To Make The Filling

This filling is super easy and takes no time at all to put together. One of the best tricks I’ve learned for this recipe is to use a zester or fine cheese grater to grate the yolks. This will result in fluffy yolks without any imperfect clumps. Add the mayo, salt, smoked paprika, mustard and finely chopped pickled onions to the bowl with the yolks and stir to combine.

We want the Fully Loaded Keto Deviled Eggs to look their best, which is why we’ll be piping the filling into the egg whites. I used a piping bag with a star tip and piped about one to two tablespoons of filling into each egg. If you don’t have these tools, simply add the filling to a Ziploc bag and cut off one corner.

The filling and eggs can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge either separately or with the filling piped onto the whites. Either way, do not add the toppings until you’re ready to serve.
