Frequently Asked Questions
This is our favorite method ofcooking hard-boiled eggs(aka hard-cooked eggs): Place cold large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Set the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. When the water just begins to bubble vigorously, reduce the heat to achieve the barest simmer; simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour out the hot water and cover the eggs with ice-cold water or set the eggs in a large bowl of ice water. Let the eggs stand until cool enough to handle before peeling. This should give you a nice, firm yolk that will work perfectly.
There are severalways to cook bacon.The microwave is slightly quicker than frying, and you don’t have to watch the skillet or deal with spattering bacon grease, so cleanup is easier. To microwave bacon, put two layers of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate, then place up to eight slices of bacon on the paper towels, making sure the strips don’t overlap. Cover the bacon with two more layers of paper towels and cook on high for 4 to 6 minutes. (Microwave cooking times may vary.) Transfer the bacon to a fresh paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra fat.
You can make the hard-boiled eggs, bacon and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing ahead of time, and it will last about a week in the fridge. For the dressing, just stir before using.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
