Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan in a single layer.
Step 2
Add 4 cups of water (or enough to cover the eggs by about 1 inch) to the saucepan.
Step 3
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs simmer for 9 minutes for perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs.
Step 5
After 9 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water using a slotted spoon. Let the eggs cool for 5-10 minutes.
Step 6
While the eggs are cooling, prepare the spice mixture. In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spiced oil paste.
Step 7
Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step 8
Arrange the halved eggs on a serving plate and drizzle the spiced oil mixture evenly over them.
Step 9
Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal. Enjoy the bold Mediterranean flavors!
