Hard-boiled Eggs

I'm slightly obsessed with hard-boiled eggs. They are a great source of protein and are contained in their own shell, making them a great grab-and-go snack. But...I won't eat just any egg. They have to be perfect.

I steam my eggs in our veggie steamer pot. Get the water boiling- I'm talking a roaring boil. THEN put the steamer on (covered) and let them go for about 15 min. While they are boiling, get a large bowl and fill it with cold water and ice. When the eggs are done, you will take te steamer off and put it in the water to stop the eggs from cooking.

I use organic eggs. They are more expensive, but they taste soooo much better. In cooking them like this, you won't get that nasty gray coating around the yolk. That layer actually means they are overdone and it makes them smelly.

One of these egg snacks is 70 calories.
