Vegetarian Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt

Few things in the kitchen are as quietly satisfying as a perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg, and this method delivers that firm yet creamy yolk every single time. The technique here — bringing the water to a full boil before dialing back the heat, then finishing with an ice bath — is the key to eggs that peel cleanly and never turn rubbery or develop that greenish ring around the yolk. A pinch of flaky sea salt at the end does more than you'd expect, adding a gentle crunch and a burst of flavor that elevates something simple into something genuinely craveable. These are endlessly versatile: slice them over a grain bowl, tuck them into a lunchbox, or just eat them straight off the cutting board as a high-protein snack. With only two ingredients and a handful of easy steps, this is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your weekly routine.
