Few things are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg, and this method delivers that firm yet creamy yolk every single time. The technique is straightforward — a rolling boil, a quick drop to a simmer, and an ice bath that makes peeling almost effortless. A finish of flaky sea salt is all it takes to elevate something humble into a genuinely craveable snack or protein-packed addition to any meal. With just two ingredients, there's no label-reading required and zero risk of hidden allergens sneaking in through a complicated ingredient list. These are great sliced over salads, packed into a lunchbox, or eaten straight off the cutting board with a little extra pinch of salt.
