Description
Egg Boil with Sausage is a delicious dish featuring boiled eggs and smoked sausage, coated in a flavorful butter sauce with spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 12 oz smoked sausage (sliced into rounds)
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- ½ cup chicken broth or water (optional, for thinner sauce)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for 10-12 minutes. Drain and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook the spices in the butter for another minute to release their flavors.
- Add the peeled boiled eggs to the skillet and gently stir to coat them in the seasoned butter sauce.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the eggs absorb the flavors. If you prefer a thinner sauce, pour in the chicken broth or water and stir to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let everything simmer together for a few more minutes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of Cajun seasoning.
- Can be served over rice or with crusty bread.
