Boiling eggs sounds like such an easy task but sometimes can be so problematic. They either not cooked enough, too hard or the peel just won’t come off.

There are a few factors you need to consider when cooking eggs such as initial egg temperature, egg size, the kind of pot you’re using to boil eggs, room temperature, and even altitude.

To boil perfect eggs for egg salad with avocado, place the eggs on the bottom of a saucepan, leaving enough space between them. Fill the pot with cold water, just to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from heat. Set a timer to 10 minutes and after the time is over transfer the eggs to ice water to stop the cooking process immediately.
