Ingredients:
* 12 large eggs
* 1 cup spicy bloody mary mix
* ½ cup vegetable oil
* ¼ cup crunchy croutons
Instructions:
1. Prepare the eggs: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
2. Create the spicy bloody mary marinade: In a shallow dish, whisk together the spicy bloody mary mix.
