To make TikTok Egg Boils, gather 4 large eggs, 1 ½ cups (375 ml) of seafood broth, and 1 tablespoon (14 g) of butter. You’ll also need 1/4 cup (56 g) of tomato paste, 1 small diced onion, and 1 tablespoon (8 g) of Old Bay seasoning. Spice it up with 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) of salt, 1/4 teaspoon (1 g) of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon (3 g) of garlic powder.
Cook and Cool the Eggs

Place eggs in a medium pot and cover them with water, ensuring about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 8–10 minutes based on preferred doneness. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath for 2–3 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
Prepare the Seasoned Broth and Add Eggs

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté diced onion until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes until it deepens in color. Add seafood broth, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then simmer for 5–6 minutes to blend the flavors. Peel the cooled eggs, add them to the simmering broth, and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors, adding a pinch of cayenne for extra heat if desired.
Serve and Enjoy

For perfect TikTok egg boils, boil eggs by covering them with room-temperature water, bringing to a gentle boil, and cooking for 8-10 minutes for firm yolks or 6-7 minutes for softer centers. Cool the eggs quickly in an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier. While the broth simmers, add spices and tomato paste to meld flavors and slightly thicken the sauce. Pour the sauce over the eggs in a serving bowl or provide extra on the side for dipping to enhance every bite.
