The egg done in a ramekin is nicer to handle and is also great for those who have not mastered peeling hard boiled eggs…

Just another tip though…Peeling hardboiled eggs is easy: slightly over-boil your eggs, remove them from hot water and dunk in icy cold water then two taps on the counter with the pointy side, two taps on the round side then turn the egg on its side and roll against the counter with the palm of your hand…voila shell pops off. This is much quicker to do than write ;) Take about 5 seconds per egg.

Another trick I learned was to put salt in the water before you boil your eggs. The shells come off with no problem as well.
