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. For anyone navigating a wheat-free lifestyle, eggs are one of the most naturally safe and versatile proteins out there, with zero hidden grains or flour to worry about. That flaky sea salt on top does more than you'd expect, adding a little crunch and a burst of flavor that elevates something humble into something genuinely craveable. Serve them halved as a snack, tuck them into a salad, or eat them straight off the cutting board — no fuss, no special substitutions required. This is the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again.
