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 it aside; this will be used to cool the eggs quickly after boiling.
  2. Boil Eggs: In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to a rolling boil to cover the eggs. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 7 minutes for runny yolks or 7½ minutes for slightly more set yolks. For hard-boiled eggs, adjust time accordingly.
  3. Cool Eggs: Once boiled, promptly remove the eggs and submerge them in the prepared ice bath. Leave them there for 2 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle, stopping the cooking process.
  4. Peel Eggs: Under a slow running stream of water, peel the eggs to remove the shells. Pat them dry using paper towels and set them aside for the sauce.
  5. Melt Butter & Sauté Garlic: Heat a large skillet over low flame and melt the unsalted butter carefully, ensuring it does not clarify. Add minced garlic and cook on low heat for 1 minute while stirring to combine and release flavors.
  6. Add Seasonings: Add Old Bay seasoning, light brown sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, and red chili flakes to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another minute to blend the flavors.
  7. Add Broth & Cook Sauce: Pour in the low sodium chicken bone or vegetable broth and turn heat to medium-high. Allow the mixture to cook for 6 minutes so it reduces and thickens slightly into a flavorful sauce.
  8. Finish Sauce: Add fresh lemon juice and a splash of water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then taste and season with kosher salt if needed, keeping in mind the saltiness of the Old Bay and lemon pepper seasonings.
  9. Serve: Place the peeled eggs in a serving bowl and generously pour the hot garlic butter sauce over them. Garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley. Serve immediately on their own or with crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • Cooking times can be adjusted for desired yolk consistency; experiment to find your perfect boil.
  • Use a low flame when melting butter to prevent burning or clarifying the butter.
  • Old Bay seasoning and lemon pepper contain salt; add additional salt cautiously.
  • This recipe pairs well with crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red chili flakes to taste.
