Citric Acid Free Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt

Hard-boiled eggs are one of those timeless, satisfying foods that never go out of style, and this version keeps things beautifully simple. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, eggs and pure flaky sea salt are about as clean and worry-free as ingredients get — no preservatives, no additives, nothing hidden. The technique here is precise and reliable: a rolling boil followed by a gentle simmer locks in that perfectly set yolk without any rubbery texture. The ice bath is the secret weapon, stopping the cooking right on cue and making the shells peel away cleanly. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt at the end adds just the right amount of savory crunch to each bite. These are endlessly versatile — serve them halved as a snack, slice them over a simple salad, or pack them for an easy protein boost on the go.
