Recipe Tip:

How-To

Keep hard-cooked eggs in the fridge and you'll cut sandwich making time to minutes. A dozen eggs will take the same amount of time to cook, but use a larger saucepan.

Make and Take

Pack in Ziploc® Brand sandwich bags so it's easy to grab and slip into an insulated lunch bag on the way out the door.
