Mustard Free Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt

Few things are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg, and this stripped-back recipe delivers exactly that. The whites are firm without being rubbery, and the yolks come out set all the way through with that ideal creamy texture. A pinch of flaky sea salt is all it takes to make each bite feel a little more special — no sauces, no spreads, no condiments that might sneak in unwanted ingredients. For anyone navigating mustard sensitivities, eggs are one of the safest and most versatile proteins around, and this recipe keeps things completely clean with just two ingredients. The ice bath step is the real secret here, stopping the cooking right on cue and making the shells slip off effortlessly. These are great on their own as a snack, sliced over a salad, or packed into a lunchbox without a second thought.
