TikTok always has so many fun and unique recipes to choose from like Cottage Cheese Ice Cream and Cinnamon Rolls with Apple Pie Filling. This is another viral food recipe. This egg boil recipe is based on many of the egg boil recipes you can find on TikTok. It is easy to make and takes a simple ingredient - eggs - and turns it into a yummy meal or snack loaded with flavor.

What is the Egg Boil Recipe from TikTok?

The thing about TikTok is when a particular recipe goes viral, you quickly realize that the viral TikTok recipe videos are all so different. Many different egg boil recipes on TikTok exist. 

However, the general idea of an egg boil recipe is to mimic a traditional seafood boil. A seafood boil utilizes cajun flavors. 

The traditional cajun flavor usually consists of salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic. However, the following seasonings are also common: paprika, parsley, garlic, thyme, pepper, salt, and cayenne. Old Bay seasoning is usually a common alternative to cajun seasoning since it mimics the same traditional cajun flavor.

An egg boil recipe is considered the “poor man’s” version of a seafood boil since eggs are a more affordable grocery item compared to expensive and hard-to-get-seafood like shrimp, crab, and mussels.

A yummy sauce is created with easy-to-find-ingredients. Then, hard-boiled eggs are added to create a unique egg boil dish. Be sure to remove the shells from the hard-boiled eggs before adding them to the egg boil sauce!

What ingredients do you need for an egg boil recipe?

The main ingredient in an egg boil is, obviously, eggs! You will hard-boil the eggs until the yolk reaches your desired consistency. Some people prefer a hard yolk, but I prefer a jammy center. I like the yolk to be every-so-slightly on the runny side. This is usually called a soft-boiled egg. Learn how to make perfect hard boiled eggs that peel easy every time.

The egg boil sauce will include the additional ingredients. Most people may have many of these ingredients in their spice cabinet:

  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Onion powder
  • Old Bay Seasoning
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • Paprika
  • Red chili flakes
  • Broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
  • Lemon Juice

What to serve with an Egg Boil

The egg boil consists of hard-boiled or jammy eggs (also called soft-boiled eggs). The eggs contain protein so you can think of the hard-boiled eggs as the “meat” of this dish. The egg boil sauce gives a wow factor to the boiled eggs. The great thing about this egg boil recipe is the sauce is delicious with the easy addition of noodles, potatoes, or rice.

You can serve an egg boil with things like:

  • Noodles (Ramen Noodles or other Pasta)
  • Rice
  • Potatoes
  • Sausage
  • Shrimp
  • Other vegetables or grains

How to Make Egg Boil Sauce (TikTok)

Use a medium sized pain. Over medium heat, melt the butter. After the butter has completely melted, add the minced garlic. Cook the garlic until fragrant - about one minute.

Next, add the seasonings to the garlic in the pan. Finally, pour the brother into the pan. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until the egg boil sauce has slightly thickened. Stir in the lemon juice.

You’re now ready to add your boiled eggs to the egg boil sauce! Gently add the eggs into the sauce mixture and coat the eggs with the egg sauce. Allow the eggs to gently heat in the egg sauce. Do not overcook the eggs though. 

The egg boil is now ready to serve! As noted above, you can serve the egg boil with other ingredients such as noodles, rice, potatoes, sausage, shrimp, or other vegetables or grains.
