Ingredients

Original recipe for 1 servings

2 hard-boiled eggs
1 apple
salt

Step by step

Follow the timeline: technique icon, time and temperature when relevant.

Step 1 Pot / simmer 10 min

Boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Taste for salt at the end and adjust if needed.
Step 2 Cut

Cool down and peel them. Measure the ingredients before you start.
Step 3 Serve

Serve with apple slices. Watch the timing: the right point makes the difference.

Storage

Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave 1–2 min. Freeze only if the recipe allows.

Chef tips

Mise en place: chop and weigh before cooking so you don't run over time.
Taste for salt at the end; broths and canned foods already add sodium.
For meal prep, keep dressings separate until serving.

Allergens

No major allergens from the standard 14 in the base ingredient list.

Variations

Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: egg

Use: crumbled firm tofu or chickpea flour mixture

Why: Egg binds and provides protein; tofu or chickpeas serve a similar function in stir-fries and omelets.

Tip: For scrambled eggs use tofu; for binding dough, 1 tablespoon of chickpea flour + 2 tablespoons of water per egg.

Other variations

Lighter version: reduce oil to 1 tablespoon and increase vegetables in Boiled Eggs with Apple.
Batch cook: double quantities and store in containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
