Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 eggs

Sauce

  • 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup garlic, minced
  • 2¼ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 3 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • ½ heaping teaspoon onion powder
  • 1½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ – 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, or to taste
  • ¾ cup chicken bone or vegetable broth, low sodium
  • ¼ lemon, juiced
  • Kosher salt, optional (Diamond Crystal brand recommended)
  • Flat leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ice Bath: Fill a bowl with cold water and enough ice cubes to create an icy bath. Set this aside to immediately cool the eggs after boiling.
  2. Boil Eggs: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil, enough to cover the eggs fully. Gently lower in the eggs and boil for 7 minutes for runny yolks or 7½ minutes for slightly firmer yolks.
  3. Cool Eggs: Remove eggs from boiling water and transfer immediately to the prepared ice bath. Let them cool submerged for about 2 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  4. Peel Eggs: Peel the eggs under slow running water to remove the shells easily. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
  5. Make the Sauce: In a large skillet over low heat, melt the unsalted butter carefully, ensuring it doesn’t clarify or brown. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 1 minute to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
  6. Add Seasonings: Stir in Old Bay seasoning, light brown sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, and red chili flakes. Cook together for 1 minute to blend the spices well.
  7. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken bone or vegetable broth and increase heat to medium-high. Let the sauce simmer and reduce for approximately 6 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  8. Finish Sauce: Stir in the lemon juice and a splash of water to balance the flavors. Taste and add kosher salt if needed, being mindful that Old Bay and lemon pepper contain salt already.
  9. Serve: Place the peeled eggs in a serving bowl, pour the hot seasoned sauce over them, and garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley. Serve immediately with crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice for a fully satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the red chili flakes to your preferred spice level for a milder or hotter sauce.
  • Using low sodium broth allows better control over the saltiness of the dish.
  • For hard-boiled eggs, increase boiling time to about 10-12 minutes before cooling in the ice bath.
  • Old Bay seasoning already contains salt, so be cautious when adding extra salt to avoid over-salting.
  • This dish pairs well with bread or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
