🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites reduce cholesterol while providing protein.

Place 6 cold eggs from the refrigerator in a pot.

Cover the eggs with cold water, ensuring they are covered by at least an inch.

Put the pot on high heat and wait for a full rolling boil.

Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat if using an electric cooktop, or set to low if using an induction cooktop.

Set a timer for 10 minutes and let the eggs sit covered.

After 10 minutes, pour off most of the boiling water from the pot.

Run cold water over the eggs in the sink for a couple of minutes to cool them down quickly.

Once cooled, drain the eggs and dry them off.

Peel the eggs and slice one in half to check the yolk.
