Decorating Easter Eggs with the Kids (or just by yourself) is a lot of fun, but before you can start dying, painting and adding stickers to those eggs, you have to boil them first.

The perfect boiled easter egg has a nice fluffy yolk that is the perfect shade of yellow. What you don’t want is an egg whose inside starts to look green - Yuck.

Here’s my no-fail method of getting those perfectly yellow eggs.

Put eggs in a large pot, in a single layer and cover with COLD water. Turn on the heat under the eggs and as soon as they come to a full boil, remove them from the heat and let them sit in the hot water for about 15-20 minutes.

Take them out and let them cool completely before you start to decorate them.

Enjoy!
