Ingredients
Egg Preparation
- 4 pieces eggs
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder heaping
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 0.75 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes or to taste
- 0.67 cup chicken bone or vegetable broth, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Kosher salt optional
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Fill a bowl with cold water and ice to create an ice bath, then set it aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to fully cover the eggs to a rolling boil.
- Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 7 minutes for runny yolks or 7½ minutes for slightly more set yolks.
- When the eggs are done, transfer them immediately to the ice bath. Let them sit for about 2 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
- Peel under slow running water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Cooking Sauce
- In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter, ensuring the heat is low enough to prevent it from clarifying.
- Add the minced garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in all the seasonings and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the broth, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook for about 6 minutes until the sauce reduces and slightly thickens.
- Add the lemon juice and a splash of water, stirring to combine. Taste and add salt only if needed.
Serving
- Place the peeled eggs in a serving bowl, pour the sauce over them, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
