Cooking a Hard-Boiled Egg

Question

When cooking hard-boiled eggs, is it permitted to cook only one egg, or must one cook at least three eggs and in an odd number, so that if there is blood in one of them it will be nullified by the majority?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah 

It is permitted to cook one egg. 

It will never become clear that there was blood, since after cooking, blood is not discernible.
