Wolfy Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hey all! So I've been trying to eat more primal, nordic diet and have been trying to eat eggs in the am. At my job they have hardboiled eggs pre-made, but they taste so nasty. Any suggestions on how to make a hardboiled egg taste better? I've tried salt and pepper and it helps a little, but not enough.

Orion Antares Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 They taste nasty how? If they are over cooked there's very little you can do to help them. At that point the best you can do is drench them in some kind of sauce. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post
calanthrophy Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hot sauce or spices. Something like Tony Chachere's is good as far as seasoning is concerned. Quote My band -- My acoustic stuff -- Blog -- Instagram Link to post

Raincloak Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I went to read up on pickled eggs in Wikipedia and discovered that in Dongyang, China, they make eggs boiled in the urine of young boys. As food. o.O That would probably make the eggs taste, uh, "different," but probably not better. Might try pickling though. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

PaulG Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Folks have drunk urine for weirder reasons. At least once it's boiled, the pee really is sterile... I hope... Speaking of China, one considerably more appetizing preparation is salted and preserved duck eggs, which are fermented and eaten as a side dish. Apparently, they are quite delicious and the fermentation adds a lot of savory character. I haven't gotten around to trying them myself.

JR_JR Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I have not tried this yet, but it is on my list. It is like deviled eggs but with avocado or guacamole. https://paleoleap.com/guacamole-stuffed-eggs/ If you are having it at work, maybe mix them with guacamole? It at least sounds good and healthy. 1 Quote Like a villan Link to post
Wobbegong Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 In that vein, I often eat hardboiled eggs with straight avocado... but I love hardboiled eggs already. Quote Link to post

Plazmotic Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 As a person who doesn't love eggs, I find that the hard-boiled variety only taste good if they're fresh/warm, otherwise bleh.

CallunaTook Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Late to the party, I know, but... PALEO SCOTCH EGGS. It's the Awesome. You just make Scottish eggs, without the bread crumbs. Wrap egg in breakfast sausage, bake in oven. Delicious. I have to wait until I'm not too lazy to make paleo breakfast sausage, though, because all of the store breakfast sausage I can find has sugar.

Kimnaran Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I make baked (somekind of) 'mac n' cheese' but use chopped hardboiled eggs as the 'pasta'. Can make them in muffin cups for easier portioning but I'm not sure if they can be frozen.

If these are what you're referring, can attest that they're very delicious and I eat them as they are (cut in half with shell on, scooped with a teaspoon). They're sold both cooked (boiled/steamed or charcoal roasted/grilled) and raw. There are also recipes that use the yolk as sauce/gravy materials. Quote Past Challenges: 1 ▸ 2 ▸ 3 Link to post

Yeah, most of the preparations I've seen are for the ones that are raw/fermented, using the yolk as a sauce component and the set whites much as you'd use scrambled egg in any stir-fry-type dish. I've gotten interested in fermented foods as a way to add savoriness to low-cal dishes and still keep them high-protein. Duck eggs aren't ideal for a low-cal dish, but other things often are (salted/preserved black crab, salted shrimp, salted black soybeans, doubanjiang -- all both delicious and high in protein). At some point, when I'm not cutting, I'm thinking of doing some more fun things with the duck eggs and maybe posting on the recipe forum.

Fonzico Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Smoked salmon or prosciutto are my favorite ways to elevate the humble boiled egg. With or without a smear of mayo.

Echoceanic Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 I hate boiled egg yolks. Taste like powder. What I've found is that I cook them too long. So now I put them in water, wait for the water to boil and then cover them up for 5-6 min (depending how long I left them to boil) and then immediately dump out the water and cover them in the coldest water I can get out of the tap several times to stop the cooking process. Then they are far better. I also add salt, ketchup and hot dog wieners (just boil them in water before hand since they take longer) or I just have the eggs with leftovers, since I would have to eat four eggs and over to actually feel sated if I ate the eggs with no other main ingredient.

KiltieMacBagpipes Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I work at a hotel overnights, which means I also have access to crappy hard-boiled eggs. My go-to? Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper Blend. No calories, no weird unpronounceable ingredients. I put it on all kinds of stuff.
