Eggs are one of those rare proteins that tend to sit well with a sensitive bladder, making them a genuinely reliable staple when so many other foods feel off-limits. This recipe keeps things beautifully simple — just eggs and a pinch of flaky sea salt, nothing that could trigger discomfort or leave you second-guessing the ingredient list. The method is precise and foolproof: a rolling boil followed by a gentle simmer and an ice bath produces whites that are fully set without turning rubbery, with yolks that are creamy and bright all the way through. That finishing sprinkle of flaky sea salt adds just enough savory crunch to make something this minimal feel genuinely satisfying. They work as a quick snack, a protein-packed addition to a simple meal, or something to prep ahead and keep in the fridge for the week. Sometimes the most straightforward recipes are exactly what you need.
