Don’t you dare skip the basics! A pinch of flaky sea salt and a crack of black pepper wakes up that egg like a tiny alarm clock. It’s the difference between “meh” and “okay, now we’re talking.”
Try smoked salt or pink peppercorns for a mini fancy-pants upgrade. Your brain will go, “Whoa, is this a gourmet snack or a hard-boiled egg?”
Pro tip: Always salt the yolk. The white is a salty sponge, but the yolk is a creamy treasure that needs a flavor kick.
