If you’re a fan of traditional Low Country boils and the equally viral onion boil recipe that has recently been circulating on social media, this egg boil recipe will be right up your alley. While the cooking process is a bit different than other “boil” recipes you may have tried, the end result is equally saucy, equally buttery, and every bit as delicious.

What is an egg boil?

An egg boil is a super quick and easy TikTok recipe featuring jammy, soft-boiled eggs bathed in a rich, buttery sauce that’s jam-packed with flavor. The recipe was born out of the onion boil trend and uses a very similar sauce seasoned with a plethora of dried herbs and spices. While the exact recipe varies between creators, one popular video by @by.nay.a uses a blend of Old Bay, garlic, onion powder, lemon pepper, paprika, Cajun seasoning, chili powder, brown sugar, minced garlic and lemon juice.

Unlike the onion boil, where the onion is cooked in the buttery sauce, an egg boil cooks the eggs and sauce independently of one another. The two are combined only just before serving. From there, the eggs can be dipped and dunked to soak up every last drop of the delectable sauce.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes, or to taste
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
• 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1: Make an ice bath

Fill a small bowl with cold water and ice to make an ice bath and set aside.

Step 2: Boil the eggs

Fill a medium saucepan with enough water to cover the egg by 1 inch and then bring it to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water. Cook for six to seven minutes for a soft yolk or eight minutes if you prefer a more set yolk. Remove the eggs from the water and immediately plunge them into the ice bath. Leave submerged for two to three minutes or until cool enough to handle.

Step 3: Make the sauce

Meanwhile, prepare the “boil” sauce. In a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and chili flakes and cook for one minute or until fragrant. Add the all of the seasonings and stir to combine. Then, pour in the broth and increase the heat to medium-high. Simmer for six to eight minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. Whisk in the lemon juice and add additional salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm over low heat.

Editor’s Tip: Old Bay and lemon pepper seasonings often already contain salt, so make sure to taste your sauce before adding any additional salt. For the record, we didn’t feel like our sauce needed extra salt, just a few cracks of black pepper.

Step 4: Peel the eggs and slice

Carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half. Arrange in a shallow bowl or a rimmed plate.

Step 5: Add the sauce

Pour the sauce over the eggs and garnish with green onions, if desired. Enjoy!

Flavor. Flavor. Flavor! There’s really no other word to describe these simple, saucy eggs. The warm sauce is super delicious when it melds with the rich flavor of the runny egg yolks. They’re truly the perfect vessel for the sauce.

Egg Boil Tips

Can I use hard-boiled eggs instead?

Yes! While TikTokers may be obsessed with marrying the spicy sauce with an unctuous runny yolk, an egg boil is equally delicious with a hard-boiled egg, too. Just let the eggs cook for an extra minute or two to ensure the yolk is fully set before popping them in the ice bath to cool.

What other spices can go in an egg boil?

This egg boil recipe is super forgiving and versatile. Feel free to omit spices you don’t have on hand or add others that you enjoy. Try sprinkling in up to 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, chili powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, dried parsley or garlic powder.

How do you serve an egg boil?

The most common way you’ll see an egg boil enjoyed is all on its own. Simply bathe the eggs in the yummy sauce and dig in. However, an egg boil is also delish when served with hot cooked white rice, a bowl of ramen noodles or a few hunks of crusty bread. Each would marry well with the spicy eggs and is perfect for sopping up the flavorful sauce.

How do I make glitter deviled eggs?

Here’s a quick rundown for those who might not have encountered them: Deviled eggs are a party appetizer consisting of hard-boiled eggs that have been halved, with the yolks removed. The yolks are mixed with mayo and often mustard and spices, then piped prettily back into the egg white halves, which form a little edible cup. It’s a one-bite hors d’oeuvre that hosts can adjust to their own preferences with the addition of Worcestershire or a sprinkling of paprika. Or, in some cases, with food dye and edible glitter.

In a TikTok video from last November, creator Arnesha Reshay creates Christmas glitter deviled eggs by dyeing the egg whites red and green, then dipping each one in a thick layer of edible red and green glitter. The video has been viewed more than 9 million times, and other users have since taken up the project, sometimes using gold glitter or arranging the eggs in a Christmas tree shape.

@drippedbyarneshareshay Christmas Glitter Deviled Eggs That one time i made red and green glitter deviled eggs and everyone was too scared to eat them. And yes the glitter is edible DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! #deviledeggs #christmasdeviledeggs #glitterdeviledeggs #christmasfood #christmasfoodideas #christmasparty #christmaspartyideas original sound –

Can you eat deviled eggs with glitter?

Although Reshay jokes in the caption of her video that “everyone was too scared to eat them,” these striking appetizers can indeed be eaten safelyas long as the cook has used the right glitter. As explained on the FDA website, glitters specifically intended for consumption should note that they’re edible and have a list of ingredients on the label indicating food-safe contents; those ingredients typically include some combination of “sugar, acacia (gum arabic), maltodextrin, cornstarch and color additives specifically approved for food use.”

While your everyday glitter found at the craft store probably won’t make you sick if you eat a little bit of it, you definitely don’t want to consume it on purpose. That stuff is made of finely minced plastic and aluminumhardly the ingredients that inspire holiday cheer.

Of course, if edible glitter is hard to find this season, look no further than our Santa deviled eggs recipe, which uses ham and sweet peppers as the decor.

Thanksgiving casseroles are a must for our gatherings, so I figured I’d start there. I came across a green bean casserole recipe with a secret ingredient that I’d never considered, and I’m here to share its glory with all of you.

What is the secret ingredient?

It’s called Trader Joe’s Mushroom & Company Multipurpose Umami Seasoning Blend. This blend features umami, the fifth taste type after sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Umami translates from Japanese to “pleasant savory taste,” and it’s something you’ve most certainly encountered before in mushrooms, cheese and tomatoes.

TikTok creator @freddsters was kind enough to share this recipe with everyone, and it’s exactly what I was looking for this Thanksgiving.

@freddsters The BEST Green Bean Casserole! If youre asked to bring one thing to dinnee this year, this has to be it! #freddsters #letsmakeit #thanksgiving #sidesgiving #greenbeans #casserole #greenbeancasserole #recipe original sound – Freddsters

Adding umami to recipes can greatly increase their overall flavor by peppering in undertones of sour and sweet. It’s an all-arounder that complements any recipe, especially a green bean casserole. Don’t be afraid to sprinkle it into other savory dishes like mushroom stuffing or roasted potatoes for an extra punch.

Where do I find it?

This particular seasoning can be found at the beloved purveyor of cheap finds, Trader Joe’s. TJ’s claims that this magical bottle of flavor will make everything taste better, and we’re inclined to believe them. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you, try Target and Amazon for certified dupes.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 pounds boneless turkey breast halves, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1/2 medium green pepper, sliced
• 2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

• Cooked rice, optional

What is the secret ingredient?

The typical sweet potato pie recipe is simple: cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, milk or cream, eggs, sugar, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger), and sometimes butter. These are all blended until smooth and placed in an open-topped pie crust for baking.

As platforms like Instagram and TikTok make it easier for people to share their own family recipes, however, it’s clear that another ingredient often makes the cut: citrus, either in the form of orange juice, lemon juice, a combination of both or orange zest.

@kimmyskreations The sweet potato pie is sweet potatoing!!!!!!!!! I like mine sweet and cold LIKE ME! #kimmyskreations #sweetpotatopie original sound – KimmyKreations

There are many ways to tweak a sweet potato pie, and a bit of citrus is becoming increasingly embracedbut it’s certainly not a new baking tip. According to the /Old_Recipes subreddit, lemon has appeared in sweet potato pie recipes for over a century.

Why does it make pies better?

As Camirra Williamson of Camirra’s Kitchen notes in her sweet potato pie tutorial, adding a bit of lemon juice (between 1 and 1 1/2 teaspoons) can bring out the flavor of sweet potatoes so they aren’t entirely masked by the warm spices. It’s important not to add too much, though; otherwise, the lemon juice will assert its own flavor and ruin the effect.

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt has saidthat if a recipe tastes like it’s missing something, it’s not necessarily that it’s been underseasoned; it just needs acid. You can add all the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice to a pie as you like, but a bit of acid will really bring all those flavors together.

Other TikTok users similarly insist that the juice of half an orange and half a lemon, while non-traditional, “takes the recipe up a notch” and “brings back the brightness” to contrast with the rich, buttery flavors of the filling.

Remember, seeing lemon juice or lemon extract in a recipe doesn’t signal that the dessert will taste like that ingredient, but rather that ingredient will make all the flavors sing. After all, your chocolate chip cookies don’t taste “eggy,” do they?

I hadn’t done much meat brining before trying this recipe. Luckily, the process is very straightforward, which is great news for brining newbies: Just submerge the turkey in pickle-flavored liquid for 12 hours. (Our brining guide has more in-depth information on this technique.) The liquid creates a tender texture and infuses the meat with flavor.

The finished pickle-brined turkey has lots of colorgolden brown with a yellow hue from the pickle juice. The meat has a light pickle flavor, and it’s really juicy. I added red potatoes and onions to the pan. Both taste pretty good with a hint of pickle! I even used the carcass to make homemade turkey stock and turkey gravy, and guess what? They have some pickle flavor, too. My husband was in heaven.

Ingredients for Pickle-Brined Turkey

For the brine:

• 2 quarts dill pickle juice
• 2 quarts water
• 5 tablespoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons pickling spice
• 4 sprigs fresh dill
• 1 turkey (10 pounds)

To roast in the pan:

• 2 medium yellow onions, divided
• 9 pickle spears, divided
• 3 sprigs fresh dill
• 3 medium red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the basting sauce:

• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon brown or Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon dill pickle juice

Editor’s Tip:Choose the best turkey for your scheduleeither fresh or frozen will work. Plan to allow thawing time for frozen turkeys. Avoid pre-basted birds since this recipe will take care of the brining.

Tools You’ll Need

• Oven bags: Look for turkey-sized oven bags stocked with food wraps. Used during brining, the bag makes it easier to keep the turkey submerged in the liquid.
• Roasting pan: A large, sturdy roasting pan is a versatile tool for making roast turkey and other roasted dishes. Choose one that comes with a metal rack.
• Digital thermometer: Quickly check the temperature of the turkey with a digital thermometer inserted into the thigh meat.

Directions

Step 1: Brine the turkey

Line a large stockpot or food-safe plastic bucket with a turkey oven bag. Pour in the pickle juice, 2 quarts of water, kosher salt, pickling spice and four sprigs of fresh dill; stir to combine the ingredients. Remove the giblets and neck bone from the turkey. (Save them for make-ahead gravy.)

Tuck the wings behind the top of the bird. Lower the turkey into the brine, turning it until it’s submerged. Tie the top of the turkey bag closed. If necessary, set a heavy plate or bowl on top of the turkey to keep it submerged. Place the bucket or pot in the fridge and let the turkey brine for 12 hours.

Editor’s Tip: If you don’t have a pot or bucket, or if you don’t have space available in the fridge, put the bag with the brine and turkey into a large cooler filled with ice.

Step 2: Prepare the turkey

Preheat the oven to 325F. Have a roasting pan ready with a small rack in the bottom. Move the oven rack down one notch, so the top of the turkey won’t be too close to the heating element. Remove the turkey from the brine and let the excess liquid drain away; discard the brine and bag.

Slice one of the onions into quarters. Place the quarters in the turkey cavity, along with six of the pickle spears and three fresh dill sprigs.

Use kitchen twine to tie the legs together. Set the turkey into the roasting pan. Slice the remaining onion into quarters; slice the red potatoes into 1-1/2-inch pieces. Place the onions, potatoes, remaining pickle spears and 2 tablespoons of oil into a small bowl; toss the ingredients together. Scatter the onions, potatoes and pickles around the turkey in the roasting pan.

Step 3: Brush with sauce and roast

Combine the melted butter, mustard, a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a teaspoon of pickle juice in a small bowl. Use a brush to spread this sauce over the entire surface of the turkey. Put the turkey into the oven with the legs toward the back. Roast the turkey until a digital thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 170 to 175F, about 2 hours and 30 minutes (roughly 15 minutes per pound).

Baste the turkey twice with extra melted butter during the last hour of roasting.

Step 4: Rest the turkey

Pull the turkey from the oven, and loosely cover it with foil for 20 minutes. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter, and place the roasted onions and potatoes around the bird. Add optional garnishes around the turkey, like fresh dill sprigs, dill pickle spears or gherkins. Carve and serve.

Pickle-Brined Turkey Tips

How long does it take to roast a pickle-brined turkey?

In this recipe, the 10-pound, pickle-brined turkey takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to roast through. Have a digital thermometer on hand to check the temperature in the thigh, which should be 170 when finished.

What sides can you serve with pickle-brined turkey?

This pickle-flavored turkey is delicious with all the classic side dishes that one thinks of for roast turkey. Roast red potatoes in the pan with the bird, or serve creamy mashed potatoes. Or, keep the sides pickle-themed with dill pickle potato salad and air-fried pickle slices. Another option is to go with the classicsserve the turkey with traditional holiday stuffing, gravy and buttery Parker House rolls.
