These Spicy Cajun Boiled Eggs are the perfect combination of creamy egg whites and yolks with a punch of spicy, smoky Cajun seasoning. The hot sauce and olive oil bring an extra layer of flavor, making them incredibly savory and satisfying. Garnished with fresh parsley, they look as great as they taste—perfect for a snack, appetizer, or even a protein-packed side.
- Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions:
- Boil the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water by about 1 inch. Add a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water to help prevent the shells from cracking.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
- Remove the eggs from the water and transfer them to an ice bath or run them under cold water for a few minutes to cool down quickly. Peel the eggs once they’re cool enough to handle.
- Season the Eggs:
- In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the boiled eggs with the seasoning mix. Drizzle the hot sauce and olive oil over the eggs, and gently toss to coat each egg with the spicy seasoning mixture.
- Season with additional salt to taste.
- Serve:
- Slice the eggs in half, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy as a spicy snack, appetizer, or addition to your favorite meal.
