# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6 eggs
02 -
1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
¼ cup garlic, minced
04 -
2¼ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
05 -
3 teaspoons light brown sugar
06 -
½ heaping teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
08 -
1 teaspoon paprika
09 -
½ - 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, or to taste
10 -
¾ cup chicken bone or vegetable broth, low sodium
11 -
¼ lemon, juiced
12 -
kosher salt, optional (Diamond Crystal brand recommended)
13 -
flat leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Prepare a bowl with cold water and enough ice cubes to create an icy bath. Set aside.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to cover eggs to a rolling boil. Carefully drop eggs into water and boil for 7 minutes for runny yolk or 7½ minutes for a more set yolk. For hard-boiled eggs, cook longer according to preference.
03 -
After desired cooking time, remove eggs from pan and place in an ice bath. Leave submerged for 2 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Under slow running water, peel eggs and place on a paper towel to remove excess water. Set eggs aside for later use.
04 -
In a large skillet over a low flame, melt butter. Be sure the flame is low enough so it doesn't clarify the butter. Add minced garlic, stir to combine and cook on low heat for 1 minute.
05 -
Add all seasonings (Old Bay, brown sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper, paprika, and chili flakes) and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.
06 -
Add bone broth and increase heat to medium-high. Cook mixture for 6 minutes. Once sauce has reduced and slightly thickened, add lemon juice, a splash of water and stir mixture. Season to taste with kosher salt, if necessary. Old Bay and (sometimes) lemon pepper already contains salt within the seasoning, so only add salt to taste, if necessary.
07 -
Place eggs in a bowl then pour boil sauce over. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve as is or pair with crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice.
# Notes:
01 -
You can adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of red chili flakes.
02 -
This recipe works with any type of egg cooking preference - from jammy to fully hard-boiled.
03 -
Pairs well with crusty bread for dipping or over rice for a more filling meal.
