With a few ingredients, boiled eggs can be packed with flavor and become a tasty addition to meals or make for a flavorful snack to help you power through an afternoon. After boiling eggs to perfection, the cooked pieces will be mixed into a seasoned sauce that can be customized to your liking. Lean into spicy, savory flavors with minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, and red chili flakes, or embrace a tangier treat with a sauce made from lemon pepper seasoning, brown sugar, and paprika.

Garnish your presentation with your favorite garden herbs or add a spoonful of cream to the flavorful dish before digging in. This curry-like dish can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or be complemented with generous heaps of rice and homemade chapati for a filling, satisfying creation that will win over the entire family. 

Whether you're a fan of Old Bay seasoning or would prefer placing your boiled-to-preference eggs in a rich curry sauce, meeting your macro goals will feel less like a chore with this tasty preparation. Experiment with using different flavored broths to make the sauce, like mushroom broth or vegetable stock, or turn up the heat of this dish with your favorite hot sauces and sprinkles of smoked paprika. The flexibility of this recipe means that you can adjust recipes according to season, with heartier flavors during colder months and lighter, fresh ingredients to tuck into during the summer. 

Diced scallions and a touch of dried sriracha powder can turn this dish into a quick meal for busy weeknights, and when served with buttered baguettes, it will have you revisiting this recipe on the regular. To add textural contrast to your dish, a spoonful of crushed peanuts or toasted pumpkin seeds will make bowls of these saucy eggs difficult to walk away from. Some recipes make the rounds on the socials for good reason, and this is one: Delicious, easy to put together, and a total crowd-pleaser.
