Whole 30 Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are one of the most versatile proteins you can keep on hand, and the Instant Pot makes the whole process almost effortless. Three simple ingredients — eggs, water, and ice — are all you need, which means this recipe is as clean and compliant as it gets. The pressure-cook-then-ice-bath method is genuinely the secret to shells that slip off without a fight, which anyone who has wrestled with a stubborn egg knows is a small but real victory. Keep a batch in the fridge and you've got a grab-and-go snack, a salad topper, or a quick protein boost ready at any moment. For anyone eating this way and trying to stay fueled between meals, that kind of effortless prep is absolutely worth building into your weekly routine.
