12 large eggs
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon fine Himalayan salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. One at a time, add the eggs to the boiling water. Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, then quickly drain all the water from the pot and cover the eggs with ice and cold water. Let them sit for 2 minutes.
Peel the eggs under the cold water or under a fine stream of running water. Make sure to remove that fine film under the shell; this ensures that the whites won’t break off. Store the peeled eggs in the fridge for up to a week.
When you want a crispy egg, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. As the skillet heats, toss two hard-boiled eggs with the oil, sesame seeds, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.
When the skillet is hot, tip the eggs and all of the seasonings and oil into the skillet. Let the eggs cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip them over and cook the opposite side for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the skillet. Cut them in half and spoon the avocado oil and sesame seeds from the skillet over them. Sprinkle with a little more salt. Enjoy!
