Three variations of hard-boiled egg snack jars: avocado-chili-lime, hummus-dukkah, and harissa-yogurt. Eggs are nutrient-dense with omega-3 fats, iron, vitamins A and D, folate, and choline.

From The Young Forever Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 12 large pasture-raised organic eggs (4 per variation)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • Pickled Red Onions (optional)
  • 0.5 cup hummus
  • 2 tsp Almond Dukkah
  • 0.5 cup sheep's milk yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp harissa paste
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.33 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently add the eggs and cook for 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Once cold, peel the shells and cut the eggs in half.
  2. For Avocado, Chili, and Lime: Mash the avocado in a bowl using a fork. Add the lime juice and pepper flakes and mash until almost smooth. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt. Divide the mixture among jars with lids and top each with two of the egg halves. Garnish with cilantro leaves and pickled onions, if desired, and close the lids tightly.
  3. For Hummus and Almond Dukkah: Divide the hummus among four jars with lids. Top each with two of the egg halves. Garnish with ½ teaspoon dukkah and close the lids tightly.
  4. For Spicy Harissa and Yogurt: In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, harissa, and salt and stir until well combined. Divide the yogurt among four jars with lids. Add some cherry tomatoes and two egg halves to each. Garnish with cilantro leaves, if desired, and close the lids tightly.
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
