  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ lemon, juiced
  • salt, optional
  • parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Prepare a large bowl filled with ice water to create an ice bath.
  2. Cook Eggs to Desired Doneness: Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water. Cook according to your preferred texture: 6½ minutes for very jammy, 7 minutes for soft jammy, 7½ minutes for medium jammy, 8 minutes for slightly jammy, 9 minutes for mostly set with a slightly creamy center, 10 minutes for fully set creamy yolk, or 11-12 minutes for classic hard-boiled eggs.
  3. Chill and Peel: Immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully and set them aside.
  4. Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
  5. Add Spices: Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, crushed red pepper, and brown sugar. Continue cooking for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices release their aroma.
  6. Simmer Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and increase the heat to medium. Let the mixture simmer gently for 4 to 6 minutes to meld the flavors.
  7. Finish with Lemon and Salt: Stir in the freshly squeezed juice of ¼ lemon. Taste the sauce and season with salt only if necessary.
  8. Serve: Place the peeled eggs in serving bowls and generously spoon the hot butter sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately alongside cheesy grits, crusty bread, rice, or enjoy on their own.

Notes

  • Cooking times for eggs are flexible to suit your preference from very soft to fully hard-boiled.
  • The Old Bay seasoning gives this dish a distinctive flavor, but you can adjust spices to taste.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best brightness in the sauce.
  • Serve the eggs warm with grains or bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • If desired, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a milder flavor.
  • Storing peeled eggs in the sauce can make them soggy; it’s best to serve immediately.
