Whole 30 Hard-Boiled Eggs with Sea Salt

Sometimes the simplest things hit the hardest, and a perfectly cooked egg finished with a pinch of flaky sea salt is proof. The method here — bringing the water to a full boil before dropping to a gentle simmer — gives you that ideal firm-yet-creamy yolk without any of the rubbery texture that plagues overcooked eggs. The ice bath step is non-negotiable: it stops the cooking instantly and makes peeling almost effortless. With just two ingredients, this is about as clean and compliant as a snack or meal-prep staple can get — no labels to scrutinize, no sneaky additives to worry about. Eggs are one of the most versatile proteins you can lean on during a Whole30 reset, and having a batch of these ready in the fridge means you're never more than a minute away from something satisfying. Serve them halved with that crunch of sea salt on top and they feel almost fancy for how little effort they require.
