If you're looking for a healthy source of protein, boiled egg whites are a great choice. Not only are they low in calories, but they also contain a high amount of protein. However, boiling egg whites can be a bit tricky, as you don't want to overcook them and end up with rubbery or tough egg whites. In this article, we'll show you how to make perfect boiled egg whites every time, so you can enjoy them in salads, sandwiches, or as a snack.Ingredients
To make boiled egg whites, you'll need:- 4 large eggs
- Water
Instructions
1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. 2. Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to high. 3. Once the water comes to a boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. 4. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 8-10 minutes, depending on how well-done you like your egg whites. 5. While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. 6. After the eggs have cooked for the desired amount of time, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice water. 7. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes. This will help stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel. 8. After the eggs have cooled, peel them and discard the yolks.Tips
- Make sure to use eggs that are at room temperature. Cold eggs can crack when boiled.
- If you're not sure how long to cook the eggs, start with 8 minutes and then check them. You can always cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed.
- Peeling boiled egg whites can be tricky. To make it easier, crack the egg all over and then roll it gently on the counter. This will help loosen the shell.
- Boiled egg whites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
