Cajun Seasoning, 1 1/2 Tsp. Lemon Pepper Seasoning, 1 Tsp. Smoked Paprika, 1/2-1 Tsp. Red Chili Flakes, and 1/2 Tsp. Onion Powder. Cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add in the 3/4 C. Unsalted/Low Sodium Vegetable Broth, 1/4 Lemon Juice, and Salt & Pepper to Taste. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for about 5-10 minutes to reduce slightly again. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
- Gently peel the eggs and place them into a medium bowl. Pour the garlic mixture over them to enjoy right away or cover and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
