EASTER HARD BOILED EGGS
A Gruszecki tradition and now ours, is that each person gets a colored egg at the beginning of the meal, right after "grace". Each person uses his/her egg to tap on everyone else at the table, while wishing them a Happy Easter. Part of the trick is to be the last one with an egg not crushed. After you smack eggs with everyone at the table, the egg gets peeled and eaten. The following are a few hints that will help you cook the best hardboiled eggs: The fresher the egg, the harder it will be to peal it. You should purchase your eggs 2 weeks before you'll be cooking them in order to get them to peal easy. And, the way to get the yolk to be in the center of the egg after it's boiled, is to store them on their side. This relieves the pressure on the membrane within the egg that holds it suspended. The green coloring on the outside of the yolk is caused by cooking them too long. Cooking by the directions below will eliminate that.

Steps:
- Place the eggs in a pot with enough cold salted water to cover.
- Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 5 minutes only, then take off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pot, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- You'll get perfect hard boiled eggs using this method, without the outside of the yolk turning green.
- Drain the water out and either run cold water in or use ice cubes.
- If you don't cool them off quickly enough, they will develop a green skin between the yolk and the white.
- Peel the eggs, quarter and plate them.
- You can make these eggs a day or 2 ahead of Easter.
- If you wish to dye them, purchase "Paas" dyes or another edible dye version and follow the package directions.

- Slice the eggs into pieces widthwise.
- juice lemon half or just put lemon juice over egg slices.

Tips:
- Select fresh eggs: For the best results, choose fresh eggs that are no more than two weeks old. Fresh eggs will have a smooth, clean shell and no cracks or blemishes.
- Use a large pot: Use a large pot that can hold all of the eggs in a single layer. This will help to ensure that the eggs cook evenly.
- Cover the eggs with cold water: Place the eggs in the pot and cover them with cold water. The water should be about one inch above the eggs.
- Bring the water to a boil: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and place them in ice water: After the eggs have cooked, drain the hot water and immediately place the eggs in a bowl of ice water. This will help to stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
- Peel the eggs: Once the eggs are cool, peel them and enjoy! You can use hard-boiled eggs in a variety of recipes, such as deviled eggs, egg salad, or potato salad.
