Preparation Steps
- Fill a medium-sized bowl with cold water and ice cubes; set aside for the ice bath.
- In a large saucepan, bring enough water to a rolling boil; carefully lower the eggs into the water and cook for 7 minutes for jammy yolks or 7½ for hard-boiled.
- Once the timer goes off, promptly transfer the eggs to the ice bath; let them chill for about 2 minutes.
- Peel each egg under running water to help loosen the shell; set aside.
- Melt 1½ tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over low heat; add in ¼ cup minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
- Mix in 2¼ teaspoons of Old Bay seasoning, 3 teaspoons of light brown sugar, ½ heaping teaspoon of onion powder, 1½ teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and ½ to 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes.
- Pour in ¾ cup of low-sodium broth and increase heat to medium-high; let it simmer for about 6 minutes.
- Stir in the juice of ¼ lemon, taste, and adjust salt if necessary.
- Coat the peeled eggs in the spicy sauce and garnish with chopped flat-leaf parsley before serving.
