• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 9 minutes.
