Servings: 6

Ingredients

Fresh parsley
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Paprika
1 teaspoon
Cumin
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Water
4 cups (for boiling)
Eggs
6 large

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low.
  3. Cover the saucepan and let the eggs simmer gently for 2 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to deepen and the eggs to become tender.
  4. After 2 hours, remove the eggs from the saucepan and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool for about 10 minutes.
  5. Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells and peel them carefully while keeping them whole.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika to create a flavorful spice blend.
  7. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the peeled eggs to the skillet and sprinkle the spice mixture over them, ensuring they are well-coated.
  9. Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are lightly browned and heated through.
  10. Remove the eggs from the skillet and serve them hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
