- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Fresh Herbs (cilantro or parsley), chopped (optional)

- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of Pili Pili spice to suit your preferred heat level.
- Cook eggs over medium-low heat to avoid burning the sauce and maintain a smooth texture.
- Have all ingredients prepped ahead for efficient cooking.
- Don’t skip the lemon juice as it brightens and balances the heat.
