A simple way to cook boiled eggs is in the Thermomix. The cooking time will vary according to the size of the eggs and whether you like your eggs soft or hard-boiled.
For this recipe, I used extra-large eggs weighing approximately 60g each.
Another way to cook eggs in the Thermomix is to poach them. I also have a how-to guide for poaching eggs in the Thermomix.

Top Tip
One easy way to peel boiled eggs is to rub a little butter onto the shell, which can help it slip off more easily.
Storage
You can store hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for up to a week. It's best to store them in their shells to prevent odours from the fridge being absorbed into the eggs.
