Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and add enough water to cover them completely, approximately 6 cups.
Add ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat to medium and let the eggs simmer for 7 minutes for a soft center or 10 minutes for fully cooked yolks.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
When the cooking time is up, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the saucepan to the ice bath. Let them cool for 5 minutes to make peeling easier.
Once cooled, gently peel the eggs. Be careful to remove the shell without breaking the eggs.
Drizzle the peeled eggs with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or black pepper for added flavor. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These spiced boiled eggs can also be refrigerated and enjoyed as a quick snack or meal addition later.
