This popular egg boil recipe recently went viral on TikTok and for good reason! This dish is made with hard-boiled eggs, butter, spices, garlic, and onions. One of the easiest and tastiest recipes.

This is a poor man’s version of a classic seafood boil. The only difference is that this is much more economical and easier to make! It’s also perfect for your vegetarian friends.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It’s buttery, saucy, and packed with flavor.
Cooks in under 30 minutes.
Can be low carb and keto-friendly if you omit the brown sugar.
You can add boiled potatoes and veggies to this for a more filling meal.

Ingredient Notes

Butter – I used unsalted butter and seasoned the sauce with Kosher salt.

Old Bay Seasoning – You can add as much or as little as you like. Start with 1 tsp and work your way up.

Eggs – I boiled the eggs for 8 minutes because I wanted firm yolks. Boil the eggs for 6 minutes if you want a soft runny yolk. Here is a great tutorial on how to boil eggs.

Brown Sugar – It adds a nice balance but omit it if you’re not a fan of a slightly sweet taste.

Top Tips

I highly recommend using unsalted butter and seasoning it with salt and pepper otherwise the sauce can be a little too salty.
Avoid overcooking the eggs.
If you don’t see your favorite spices listed in the recipe, feel free to add them. You can season the sauce to your liking.
Once the eggs are done boiling, place them in an ice water bath or run them under cold water.
