Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 cups water
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with 4 cups of water, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the pot from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
While the eggs are resting, prepare the spice mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. This will stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and place them on a serving plate or bowl.
Drizzle the prepared spice mixture evenly over the peeled eggs, ensuring each egg is coated in the flavorful seasoning.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of freshness.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy as a snack, breakfast addition, or protein boost for any meal!
