Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 cups water
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with 4 cups of water, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.
Step 2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the pot from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the eggs are resting, prepare the spice mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. This will stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Step 5
Peel the eggs and place them on a serving plate or bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle the prepared spice mixture evenly over the peeled eggs, ensuring each egg is coated in the flavorful seasoning.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of freshness.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy as a snack, breakfast addition, or protein boost for any meal!
