Eggs are one of the most naturally dairy-free proteins out there, and this pressure cooker method makes them easier and more foolproof than the stovetop version ever was. The combination of high-pressure steam and a quick ice bath means you get perfectly cooked yolks every single time — no green ring, no rubbery whites. Just two ingredients and a handful of minutes stand between you and a batch of a dozen ready-to-eat eggs. They're endlessly versatile: slice them onto salads, mash them for egg salad, pack them as a high-protein snack, or eat them straight with a little salt. The tip about starting to peel at the wider end where the air pocket sits is a small trick that makes a genuinely noticeable difference. Keep a batch in the fridge all week and you'll always have something satisfying and completely clean-label on hand.
