Ingredients
Scale
4 eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon garlic

1 ½ teaspoon 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)
⅔ cup chicken bone broth or vegetable broth

Instructions
- 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.

- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and lemon juice, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add the boiled eggs to the skillet and gently coat them with the Cajun sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season with Kosher salt if desired and remove from heat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
