Alpha Gal Friendly Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt

Few snacks are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked egg with a little crunch of salt on top, and this recipe nails that simple pleasure every time. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, finding safe, filling protein can feel like a constant puzzle — mammalian meat and dairy are off the table, but eggs are a clean, worry-free option that fits the bill beautifully. The method here is precise and reliable: a rolling boil followed by a gentle simmer and an ice bath produces whites that are fully set without turning rubbery, and yolks that stay bright and creamy rather than chalky. Flaky sea salt is the only seasoning you need, and it makes a genuine difference — that light, mineral crunch elevates something humble into something you actually crave. Keep a batch in the fridge and you have an easy grab-and-go protein ready whenever hunger strikes.
