Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups pretzels, crushed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Mustard or dip of choice, for serving

Directions

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a shallow bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Dip each peeled egg into the melted butter, ensuring it is completely coated.
5. Roll the butter-coated egg in the pretzel mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks to the egg. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
6. Place the pretzel-coated eggs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel crust is golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and let the pretzel eggs cool for a few minutes before serving.
