Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 eggs

Seasoning and 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 broth or vegetable broth, low sodium
  • ¼ lemon, juiced
  • Kosher salt, optional (Diamond Crystal brand recommended)
  • Flat leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare an ice bath: Fill a bowl with cold water and enough ice cubes to create an icy bath. Set aside to cool the eggs quickly after boiling.
  2. Boil the eggs: In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to cover the eggs to a rolling boil. Carefully drop eggs into the boiling water and cook for 7 minutes for runny yolks or 7½ minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
  3. Cool the eggs: Remove eggs from boiling water and place immediately into the prepared ice bath. Leave submerged for 2 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  4. Peel the eggs: Under slow running water, carefully peel the eggs to remove the shells. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
  5. Cook the garlic butter sauce: In a large skillet over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Ensure the heat is low enough to avoid clarifying the butter. Add minced garlic and stir, cooking gently for 1 minute.
  6. Add seasonings: Stir in Old Bay seasoning, light brown sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, and red chili flakes. Cook with the garlic butter mixture for 1 minute to release flavors.
  7. Add broth and cook: Pour in the low sodium chicken bone or vegetable broth and increase the heat to medium-high. Let the mixture cook for about 6 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
  8. Finish the sauce: Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and a splash of water to the sauce, stirring well. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed, considering the salt content in the seasonings.
  9. Assemble and serve: Place the peeled eggs in a serving bowl, pour the flavorful buttery sauce over them, and garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice.

Notes

  • Adjust boiling time depending on desired yolk firmness: 7 minutes for soft runny yolks, 7½ minutes for medium set, and longer for hard-boiled eggs.
  • Old Bay and lemon pepper contain salt; add extra kosher salt only if required.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken bone broth.
  • Red chili flakes can be adjusted up or down based on preferred spice level.
  • Serving this dish with bread or rice completes the meal and helps soak up the delicious sauce.
