TikTok’s Egg Flights are the perfect protein-rich snack

Egg lovers may appreciate quick and easy egg recipes that allow them to enjoy their favorite protein-packed breakfast. That’s where TikTok’s latest egg flight trend comes in, which jazzes up traditional hard-boiled eggs and gives them tons of flavor. And you don’t have to save them just for breakfast—egg flights aren’t being called the new favorite dinner for women for nothing.

Here’s everything you need to know about TikTok’s egg flights and how to make them yourself at home.

What are egg flights?

Egg flights are hard-boiled eggs halved and topped with a variety of toppings for a quick, easy, protein-packed meal. These bite-sized creations can look a lot like deviled eggs, but don’t require you to mix the yolks with mayonnaise or mustard before adding other toppings. (But you can if you want!)

On TikTok, most home cooks can be seen preparing three hard-boiled eggs and putting a different topping on each half, always making sure to add a little crunch to each bite.

Take TikTok user @heresyourbite’s version — she shows how to make a filling using egg yolk, Dijon, shallot, garlic, Tabasco, salt, pepper and vinegar before adding toppings like diced bacon and shredded cheddar or toasted corn and lime juice.

How to make an egg flight

To prepare your egg fight, you will first need to boil the eggs and then let them cool. Remove the shell and then cut each egg in half.

TikTok user @hipfoodiemom1 says it’s important to start with a creamy base, such as Japanese mayonnaise and any type of mustard, similar to how you would make deviled eggs. Add the mixture you want directly to each yolk half or mix it in.

She then places kimchi drizzled with chili honey on two halves, sweet and spicy jalapeños on two more halves and homemade pickled red onions on the remaining eggs.

While you can top your Egg Flight with any topping you like, the key to success is finding the right mix of textures and flavor profiles, explains the TikToker: “The winning combination for these hard-boiled egg creations is creamy, tart, and crunchy and sour on top.”

TikToker @tasmindhaliwal uses a huge variety of seasonings and toppings on her egg dishes, including everything from spicy chili crunch and all-purpose bagel seasoning on some to a whole garlic clove with a crouton on others.
