Tips for Cooking
- Perfectly Boiled Eggs: For easy-to-peel eggs, make sure to cool them in an ice bath immediately after boiling. This helps separate the shell from the egg.
- Customize the Filling: You can switch up the cheese and bacon with other mix-ins like jalapeños, pickles, or roasted garlic for a different flavor twist.
- Presentation: To make the eggs look extra fancy, pipe the filling using a star tip in a piping bag. This will give them a beautiful, textured look.
