ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 2 chicken tenders (recipe posted previously)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon softened salted butter

  • 1 tablespoon or more as needed hot honey (I like Red Clay)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cajun seasoning
  • flaky salt, for serving

Method

  • Step 1

    Fill a large pot with water, enough to cover the eggs by 1".

    Place eggs in pot, and set to boil on stovetop.

  • Step 3

    Once water is boiling, cover pot and let eggs boil/steam for 8-10 minutes.

    Remove from pot and place immediately in an ice bath.

  • Step 5

    Carefully scoop cooked yolks into a bowl, saving the whites.

    Cut chicken tenders into bite sized pieces- top each egg with a slice of chicken tender.
