Gluten Free Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt
Few snacks are as satisfying or as effortlessly simple as a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg finished with a pinch of good salt. The ice bath after simmering is the real secret here — it stops the cooking right on cue and makes peeling almost foolproof, leaving you with a tender white and a yolk that's fully set without that chalky gray ring. Flaky sea salt on top adds a gentle crunch and a burst of flavor that elevates something humble into something you'll actually crave. For anyone navigating a gluten-free lifestyle, this is the kind of recipe that requires zero label-reading or substitutions — eggs and sea salt are naturally in the clear, full stop. It works just as well as a quick high-protein breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a simple addition to a salad or grain bowl. Keep a batch in the fridge and you've always got something wholesome ready to go.
