Why this meal fits low carb
Hard-boiled eggs are the ultimate grab-and-go protein for keto and fasting transitions. Everything seasoning adds flavor without carbs. Batch-cook so “I need something now” does not become a drive-thru.
Swaps
Smoked paprika or chili salt instead of everything seasoning.
Meal prep
Boil a dozen; refrigerate up to a week. Peel when you eat for best texture.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: mayo for deviled-style filling
Instructions
- Place eggs in a pot; cover with cold water by 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and rest 10–12 minutes.
- Ice bath 5 minutes. Peel and halve.
- Sprinkle with everything seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Tips
Batch cook a dozen on Sunday for grab-and-go snacks all week.
