Perfect Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Tired of hard boiled eggs that look like you couldn't get the shell of and the egg is all torn up? I have the answer. Throw out everything you've ever heard and follow my steps. Let me know when you try it what you thought :)

Top Tips:
Eggs must NOT be fresh (10+ days)
Follow cooking time
After cooking, let the eggs rest in an ice-bath to “shock” them.

What you need:
Large Eggs
1 Tablespoon Salt
Water



What to do:
Place the raw, whole eggs in a medium saucepan 
Cover with at least 2 inches of cold water
Add 1 tablespoon of salt
Place the pan over high heat until it reaches a boil
Turn off heat, cover and let it sit for 13 minutes
After exactly 13 minutes, remove the eggs from the pan and place them in an ice-water bath and let them cool for five minutes
Carefully crack the eggs shells (making sure the majority of the shell is cracked).
Gently begin removing the shells
As you remove the shells, you can dip the egg (as you are peeling it) in and out of the water to remove any slivers of shell
Voila! Now you can serve or use in your favorite recipe
 Store in your refrigerator for up to three days
Note-
Do not skip the salt. It does NOT affect the taste of the eggs. But is an important step to flawless eggs.
You must fully cover eggs with at least 2 inches of water for this to work. Less water and your eggs won't cook thoroughly.



Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes

So you've all seen at least one Tasty video by now right? They make everything look so 'Tasty' and easy, right? Well, the family really wanted to try these Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes and I just couldn't say no :) 



Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes


Here's how you make them:
Watch the video real quick. Form peanut butter sandwiches with Ritz crackers. Place them in the bottom of each cup of a muffin tin. In a large bowl beat together 16 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar. Then add 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 eggs, and beat again. Pour mixture over each peanut butter sandwich until each cup is 3/4 full. Top with crushed Ritz cracker. Bake for 22 minutes at 275°F. Let cool completely and then refrigerate 2 hours.
