- 1.5 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder heaping

Instructions
Preparation
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cook for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and set aside.
Cooking
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper, paprika, and red chili flakes. Mix well until combined.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and lemon juice, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

- Season with Kosher salt if desired and remove from heat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Cajun Boiled Eggs are best served warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or part of a brunch spread. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping them in the sauce to retain their flavor. Reheat in a skillet over low heat when ready to enjoy.
