Ingredients

4 boiled eggs

2 tablespoons butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt to taste

Chilli powder to taste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon chilli flakes

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the oregano, chilli flakes, dried parsley, cumin powder, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the stock and lemon juice, then gently simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Carefully poke several holes in each boiled egg with a fork or knife tip, then add them to the sauce. Gently toss to coat the eggs evenly, and simmer for 1 minute to warm them through. Season with salt and additional chilli powder to taste.
Transfer the eggs to a serving bowl or plate, drizzle generously with the remaining sauce, and serve hot.

Every ingredient here is a weeknight staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, ALDI, or Kroger—no special trips needed. Cost per serving lands under $1.50, driven mostly by eggs and butter. The stated fifteen minutes is honest and accounts for boiling, though the actual hands-on time is closer to five. This is set-and-forget weeknight cooking: boil the eggs, make the cajun butter sauce while they cook, and you're done, with leftovers that reheat perfectly the next morning.
