Ingredients
  

  • 6 Hard Boiled Eggs
  • 1 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • ½ Onion finely diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • ½ Lemon
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs Optional

For The Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Red Crushed Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Salt and Pepper

  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients except for the eggs, stirring frequently, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  • Garnish Egg Boil with your choice of fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika before serving hot.

Notes

Use Farm Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs are less likely to have air pockets, which can cause them to crack during boiling. However, slightly older eggs are easier to peel.
Room Temperature: Bring to room temperature before boiling eggs to reduce the risk of cracking and ensure even cooking.
Salt or Vinegar in Water: Add a teaspoon of salt or a tablespoon of vinegar to the boiling hot water. This can help prevent the eggs from cracking and makes peeling easier.
Starting in Cold Water: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water before heating. This helps prevent cracking and ensures even cooking.
