Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add 6-8 large eggs and let them cook for 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled perfection. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes, allowing them to peel easily. Drain and gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell before peeling.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until it starts bubbling and fragrant, but be careful not to let it brown.
  3. Add one sliced onion into the bubbling butter, stirring it for around 3-4 minutes or until soft and translucent.
  4. Mix in 3-4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of garlic paste (if using). Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, a dash of cayenne pepper, and other spices. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth into the pan, stirring well. Allow the sauce to reach a gentle simmer, cooking for about 5 minutes.
  6. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, place the peeled boiled eggs in a shallow bowl. Pour the hot spicy garlic butter sauce generously over the eggs.
  7. Serve warm or allow them to chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes if you prefer them cold.
