2-In a medium saucepan, bring enough water: In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to fully cover the eggs to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 7 minutes for runny yolks or 7½ minutes for slightly more set yolks.
3-When the eggs are done, transfer them: When the eggs are done, transfer them immediately to the ice bath. Let them sit for about 2 minutes, or until cool enough to handle. Peel under slow running water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
4-In a large skillet over low heat,: In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter, making sure the heat is low enough to prevent it from clarifying. Add the minced garlic, stir, and cook for 1 minute.
5-Stir in all the seasonings and cook: Stir in all the seasonings and cook for another minute. Pour in the broth, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook for about 6 minutes, until the sauce reduces and slightly thickens.
6-Add the lemon juice and a splash: Add the lemon juice and a splash of water, stirring to combine. Taste and add salt only if needed, since Old Bay and lemon pepper already contain salt.
7-Place the peeled eggs in a serving: Place the peeled eggs in a serving bowl, pour the sauce over them, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve as is, or enjoy with crusty ciabatta bread or jasmine rice.
