Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes until hard-boiled. Remove from heat and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel the eggs once cooled.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the Cajun seasoning and mix well to combine all flavors.
- Toss Eggs in Seasoned Butter: Place the peeled boiled eggs in a bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter seasoned with Cajun spices over the eggs and toss gently to coat the eggs evenly with the flavorful butter mixture.
- Serve: Serve the Cajun boiled eggs warm or at room temperature as a spicy appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of Cajun seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Use fresh garlic to maximize the garlic flavor in the butter.
- Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley or chives for added color and freshness.
- Ensure eggs are cooled before peeling to make the process easier.
