Eggs are one of the most reliable proteins you can lean on when you're navigating a candida-conscious way of eating, and this preparation keeps things beautifully clean and simple. Just two ingredients — eggs and a pinch of flaky sea salt — mean there's nothing hidden, no sugars, no vinegars, and no questionable additives to second-guess. The method is straightforward: a gentle simmer followed by an ice bath gives you perfectly set whites and creamy, fully cooked yolks every single time. That quick chill in the ice water also makes peeling dramatically easier, which is a small but genuinely satisfying win. Finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, they're savory and satisfying straight from the bowl. With four servings from eight eggs, this is an easy batch to prep ahead and keep in the fridge for quick, on-plan snacking throughout the week.
