  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 eggs

Ingredients

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)

Garnish

  • Flat leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare ice bath: Fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes to create an icy bath. Set aside for later use to cool the eggs quickly.
  2. Boil eggs: In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to a rolling boil to cover the eggs. Carefully add eggs and boil for 7 minutes for jammy yolks or 7½ minutes for more set yolks. For fully hard-boiled eggs, follow the time guidance above.
  3. Cool eggs: Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and immediately place them in the ice bath. Keep them submerged for about 2 minutes or until cool enough to handle, stopping the cooking process and making peeling easier.
  4. Peel eggs: Under slow running water, gently peel the eggs and pat them dry on a paper towel. Set aside for plating.
  5. Make the sauce – melt butter and cook garlic: In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter carefully to avoid clarifying it. Add minced garlic and stir continuously for 1 minute to soften and infuse the butter with garlic flavor without burning.
  6. Add seasonings: Stir in Old Bay seasoning, light brown sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, and red chili flakes. Cook for an additional minute to release the aromas and flavors.
  7. Add broth and cook sauce: Pour in the chicken bone or vegetable broth and increase heat to medium-high. Let the sauce simmer for 6 minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens.
  8. Finish the sauce: Stir in lemon juice and a splash of water to balance flavors. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed, remembering that Old Bay and lemon pepper contain salt already.
  9. Assemble and serve: Place peeled eggs in a serving bowl and pour the warm sauce over them. Garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice for a fuller meal.

Notes

  • Adjust boiling time depending on preferred yolk consistency: 7 minutes for jammy, 7½ minutes for more set.
  • Use low heat when melting butter to avoid clarifying or browning it, which changes flavor.
  • Old Bay seasoning contains salt, add extra salt cautiously.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • Pairs well with crusty bread or rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
