Tree Nut 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 — a rolling boil followed by a gentle simmer and an ice bath — gives you eggs with tender whites and creamy, fully set yolks every single time. That finishing touch of flaky sea salt adds a subtle crunch and a burst of flavor that elevates something humble into something genuinely craveable. With just two ingredients and a straightforward stovetop technique, there's nothing hidden, nothing processed, and nothing to second-guess — just clean, whole food at its best. Serve them halved as a snack, pack them for lunch, or line them up on a platter as an easy protein-forward addition to any spread.
