Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove from heat, and let eggs sit for 9-12 minutes depending on your desired firm yolk level. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While eggs cool, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in Cajun seasoning to infuse the mixture with spicy flavor.
- Peel and Toss Eggs: Peel the cooled eggs gently under running water to remove the shells. Place peeled eggs in a bowl and pour the warm garlic Cajun butter over them, tossing gently to coat each egg evenly.
- Serve: Serve the Cajun boiled eggs warm or at room temperature as a flavorful snack, appetizer, or addition to salads and brunch spreads.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use slightly older eggs if possible.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste; increase for more heat or reduce for mild flavor.
- Serve with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness.
- This recipe works well as a protein-rich snack or party appetizer.
