  • Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 day ahead of time, but for best results serve once they are done cooling.
  • How to Store: Keep them in water in a container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • How to Reheat: If you want to eat these warm, add them to some boiling water for 3 minutes. Peel under cold water so that your hands don’t get burned.
  • To get rid of the sometimes eggy smelly when boiling, simply add a little distilled vinegar to the pot of boiling water
  • If you need help peeling the eggs, run them under lukewarm water while peeling.
