Before we get to this spooky recipe, here are some tips for hard boiling eggs:
Directions for Boiling Eggs
Place 6 eggs in a saucepan and fill it with cold water. Add a teaspoon of STAR Italian Kitchen White Wine to the water to help keep egg whites from running out if an egg does crack while cooking and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water to help prevent cracking as well as making the eggs easier to peel.
Set over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. The water should come to a full, rolling boil. Then turn off the heat, take the pan off the burner entirely and cover the pan.
Leave the eggs in the covered pan for 10-12 minutes.
Remove the cooked eggs from the pan with a slotted spoon and tap each gently on the counter top to crack the shell in a few places. Place the eggs in a bowl of ice water and leave them there for at least 1 minute, then peel.
