For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, eggs are one of the most reliable proteins around — no mammalian meat, no dairy, no hidden animal byproducts to stress over. These pressure cooker hard-boiled eggs keep things beautifully simple with just two ingredients: eggs and water. The pressure cooker method is genuinely a revelation here, producing consistently cooked yolks and shells that practically slip right off, especially with that ice bath trick at the end. Starting the peel at the wider end where the air pocket sits is a small detail that makes a big difference. Whether you're meal-prepping a week's worth of snacks, slicing them onto a salad, or just eating one straight from the fridge with a pinch of salt, these deliver every time. Refrigerating them unpeeled in their shells keeps them fresh for up to a week, so you can cook a full dozen and have easy, safe protein ready to grab whenever you need it.
