Ingredients
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1-2 teaspoons Balsamic Glaze
  • Pinch Red Chili Flakes
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Boiling the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 8 minutes for a firm yolk or less time for a softer yolk.

Cooling the Eggs

After 8 minutes (or desired doneness), drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs until they are cool enough to handle. This stops the cooking process.

Peeling the Eggs

Gently tap the eggs all over to crack the shell. Start peeling from the wider end of the egg. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any shell fragments.

Serving

Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise or into wedges. Arrange them on a plate. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with red chili flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

FAQ

  • Can I use balsamic vinegar instead of balsamic glaze?

    While you can use balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze has a thicker consistency and a sweeter, more concentrated flavor. If using balsamic vinegar, you may want to simmer it in a saucepan over low heat until it reduces and thickens slightly. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Can I substitute the chili flakes?

    Yes, you can use a pinch of cayenne pepper, sriracha, or any other hot sauce you prefer. Adjust the amount to your spice preference.
  • Can I add any other toppings?

    Of course! Try adding a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning, smoked paprika, or nutritional yeast for extra flavor. A drizzle of hot honey would also be delicious!
