Ingredients
- 8 egg large
- 1/4 cup Pepitas
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the eggs in a very large pot in one layer. Cover them with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil on high heat. Once they reach a rolling boil, turn off the heat (but don’t take the pot off), cover the pot, and let stand for 10-12 minutes. Then, dump the hot water and fill with cold water, and let stand for 10 minutes.
- While the eggs cook, place the pepitas on a small baking sheet and bake until lightly golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the toasted pepitas, salt, and pepper to a small food processor or spice grinder and pulse until broken down; leave a few small chunks for texture.
- Peel the eggs, dip them into the pepitas mixture, and enjoy.
