Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6–8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
Spicy Garlic Butter Sauce
- 1 stick unsalted butter (about 113g)
- 1/4 cup sliced onions
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiled, remove the eggs, peel off their shells, and set them aside.
- Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter until fully liquid and slightly bubbling.
- Sauté the onions: Add the sliced onions to the melted butter and cook until they are soft, translucent, and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add garlic and seasonings: Stir in minced garlic and garlic paste, followed by Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Simmer with broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Combine eggs and sauce: Place the peeled boiled eggs in a serving bowl and generously pour the hot spicy garlic butter sauce over them, ensuring each egg is well-coated.
- Serve: Enjoy the Cajun boiled eggs warm for best flavor, or chill them to serve cold as a flavorful keto snack anytime.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the cayenne pepper or add more red pepper flakes.
- Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the dish.
- Vegetable broth can be substituted with chicken broth if not strictly vegetarian.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat the sauce before serving again.
- This recipe is perfect for keto or low-carb diets due to its high fat and protein content and minimal carbs.
