Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Eggs: Place 6-8 eggs in a saucepan, covering them with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 9-12 minutes. Cool in an ice bath to make peeling easier.
  2. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until light golden.
  3. Sauté the Onions: Add sliced onions to melted butter, stirring for 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  4. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in minced garlic and garlic paste. Add Old Bay, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Incorporate Vegetable Broth: Pour in vegetable broth and simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  6. Coat the Boiled Eggs: Place cooled, peeled eggs in a bowl. Pour the hot sauce over and toss until well-coated.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Serve warm or chilled, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
