Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ¼ cup minced white onion

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth, or water

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Directions

  1. Set a small pot filled halfway with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add eggs and let boil for 6 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool 3 minutes.

  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet set over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and chicken broth and cook 4 minutes, until slightly reduced. Remove skillet from the heat and stir in lemon juice and parsley.

  3. Peel the eggs and place in a serving bowl. Pour sauce over the eggs and garnish with remaining parsley.
