Notes

  • Don't make the egg boil too salty. It is so important to make sure you use low-sodium ingredients when making this recipe. Use unsalted butter, low-sodium Old Bay Seasoning, and low-sodium broth. It can become overly salty if you don't pay attention to the sodium levels in the ingredients.
  • Make the boiled eggs ahead of time. You can always boil the eggs ahead of time. This will help save you time when you are ready to make the egg boil TikTok recipe.
  • Boil the eggs according to your preference. People prefer their egg yolks at certain consistencies. The less time you boil the eggs, the more gooey and runny the egg yolk will be. This is called a “jammy boiled egg.” The longer you boil the eggs, the firmer the egg yolks. The problem with boiling the eggs for a long time is the yolk can become hard and dry.  
  • Don’t get hung-up on following the recipe. This egg boil recipe is just a framework for creating an easy egg boil. If you prefer things to be more spicy, you can add additional red chili flakes. The recipe can be modified to make the perfect egg boil for your palate.
