How to Make Viral TikTok Egg Boil

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 ½ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¼ heaping teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
• ¾ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon red chili flakes, or to taste
• 2/3 cup chicken bone or vegetable broth, low sodium
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Kosher salt, optional
• Parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions:

1. Fill a bowl with cold water and ice to create an ice bath, then set it aside.
2. 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 firmer yolks.
3. 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.
4. In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter, making sure the heat is low enough to prevent it from clarifying. Add the minced garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
5. 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.
6. Add the lemon juice and a splash of water, stirring to combine. Taste and add salt only if needed, since Old Bay and lemon pepper already contain salt.
7. Place the peeled eggs in a serving bowl, pour the sauce over them, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve as is, or enjoy with crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice.

How to Serve Viral TikTok Egg Boil

Serve the Cajun boiled eggs warm, drizzled with the spicy sauce. They make a great finger food at parties or can be enjoyed for a quick lunch or snack. You can also pair them with crusty bread for dipping or serve them over rice for a more filling meal.

How to Store Viral TikTok Egg Boil

Store any leftover eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days. If the sauce is separated, give it a quick stir before serving.
