Print Recipe

A quick and easy high-protein grazing board featuring soft-boiled eggs, beef jerky, nuts, and fresh veggies, perfect for weight loss and satisfying snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, preferably organic or free-range (soft-boiled for creamy yolks)
  • 4 ounces (about 115 grams) beef jerky, nitrate-free and low-sugar
  • 1/2 cup (70 grams) mixed nuts, unsalted almonds and walnuts
  • 1 cup (about 100 grams) raw veggies such as sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or bell pepper strips
  • 1/3 cup (80 grams) hummus or Greek yogurt dip (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) pitted Kalamata or green olives
  • A few sprigs of fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)
  • Sea salt and black pepper to season
  • Olive oil for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 7 minutes for slightly runny yolks or 9 minutes for firmer yolks.
  3. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  4. While eggs cook, slice 4 ounces of beef jerky into bite-sized strips. Soak in warm water for 5 minutes if jerky is very tough, then pat dry.
  5. Roughly chop 1/2 cup mixed nuts and slice 1 cup raw veggies into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Gently tap the eggs to crack the shells, peel carefully to avoid breaking the whites, then slice eggs in halves or quarters.
  7. Arrange eggs, jerky strips, nuts, veggies, and olives into separate clusters on a serving platter or board.
  8. Add a small bowl of hummus or Greek yogurt dip if using.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs, sea salt, and black pepper over eggs and veggies.
  10. Optionally, drizzle olive oil over veggies for extra flavor and shine.
  11. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Use a timer for boiling eggs to achieve desired yolk consistency. Peel eggs under running cold water to ease shell removal. Assemble board just before serving to keep veggies fresh and crunchy. Jerky can be substituted with turkey, chicken jerky, or smoked tempeh for vegetarian option. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 2 days; keep dips separate to avoid sogginess.
