This recipe is play on traditional seafood boil. It uses the cajun spice blend that is traditional of seafood boil but instead of shrimp, crab, corn etc. it uses eggs.
I was very skeptical about trying the recipe but it really does work out.
Egg boil ingredients
This recipe uses boiled eggs. You can do them however you would like. I love my eggs a bit soft so I boiled them for about 8 minutes.
To make the seafood boil sauce you need the following.
- 1 stick of butter
- chili flakes
- onion powder
- lemon pepper powder
- garlic powder
- Tony's seasoning
- Minced garlic
- Chopped onion
- fresh lemon
- brown sugar
- Splash of water
Other versions I saw, add hot sauce, paprika and oregano. I felt like mine had plenty of flavor and spice so I didn't add any extras but feel free to adjust to your liking.

I started with the eggs, boiled them, transferred them to cold water with ice to peel them easily and set them aside while making the sauce.
First I cooked the onion until fragrant. Added garlic and then the spice blend. Cooked for about 2-3 minutes, added a bit of water and let it boil for 2-3 minutes.
