Dairy Free Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the most satisfying, and a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg finished with a pinch of flaky sea salt is proof of that. The method here — bringing the water to a full rolling boil before dropping to a gentle simmer, then shocking the eggs in ice water — gives you that ideal firm-yet-tender texture every single time. No rubbery whites, no greenish yolks, just clean, classic eggs that peel easily and taste genuinely good. Since eggs and sea salt are naturally free of dairy, there's nothing to swap or second-guess — this is one of those recipes that just works as written. The flaky salt on top adds a subtle crunch and a little burst of flavor that elevates what could feel like a basic snack into something worth making on repeat. Keep a batch in the fridge for quick breakfasts, protein-packed lunches, or an easy addition to salads and grain bowls throughout the week.
