Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs (5–7 days old)
- Ice water for cooling
- 1 tsp sea salt or 1/2 tsp baking soda (optional, for easier peeling)
- Mayo‑Free Toppings — choose 3–5 (≈ 2 tbsp each):
- 1/4 cup hummus
- 1/4 cup guacamole or smashed avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt mixed with 1 Tbsp sriracha + 1/2 tsp garlic powder (sriracha aioli)
- 2 Tbsp tahini whisked with 1 Tbsp lemon juice + pinch salt
- 1/4 cup tzatziki (dairy or coconut‑based)
- Garnishes (to taste): za’atar, smoked paprika, everything bagel seasoning, fresh herbs, pickled red onion, microgreens, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water 1 inch above the eggs.
- Bring to a boil over medium‑high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let stand 10–12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes, then gently crack and peel under cool running water.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise and arrange on a serving board or egg tray.
- Spoon or pipe selected mayo‑free toppings onto egg halves: hummus, guacamole, sriracha yogurt, tahini drizzle, or tzatziki.
- Finish with desired garnishes—spices, fresh herbs, pickled onions—for color, crunch, and flavor. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.
Notes
Use eggs that are at least a week old—they peel more cleanly. Keep toppings and garnishes prepped in ramekins so guests can build their own combinations. For outdoor events, chill eggs and assemble toppings just before serving to maintain freshness.
