I will add hard boiled eggs though.
It's the same idea, but you crack them in, and it boils. It has the taste of the gumbo juice. It's awesome.
I hard boil my eggs first in the gumbo while its boiling. Then i deshell them and put them back in to soak up the juice.
Cracking them straight into the gumbo seems like you are poaching them.

I had a feeling this thread would devolve into some form of this conversation 
and yes, my grandparents were from VP/Mamou

I thought this was a bit more common myself. And yes, it's amazing.

Always, and just as you stated, right before it's time to serve. Crack them and slowly drop them in place and leave them for 10 minutes. Boiling eggs and dropping them in does not work like letting them boil in the roux.

I love to crack a few eggs in the gumbo. Anybody else do this?
Going to make a gumbo one day where I throw in everything.
Chicken & Sausage + Seafood + Okra + Tomatoes + Eggs + Jarred Roux + Guidrys trinity. I'll post on FDB and let yall know how it turns out.
*I'm going to try this egg thing next time though.

Boiled eggs in seafood gumbo or stew is BAE

That’s stupid. The whole point of boiling an egg in gumbo (much like a potato) is to absorb excess salt when one accidentally overseasons the pot. It’s also a cheap way to add protein.
This is without a doubt in my mind the dumbest thing I have ever read on the F&D Board.
Congratulations, that took some effort.

I’d try a boiled egg in gumbo
Grew up with boiled eggs in spaghetti sauce along with potatoes
I’ve had a boiled egg in chicken & dumplings once, didn’t care for it

That's exactly what you're doing, poaching eggs in deliciousness.
I've never done it in gumbo but cracking a few eggs in something like a shrimp and crab stew is money.

My mom would do this in seafood gumbo and sometimes sweet peas cooked in a roux.
I’ll do it every once in a while.
You’re correct about not stirring, wait till they are cooked and still be gentle.
Today would be a perfect gumbo day. (any day really)

I've done it...meh.. it's ok. Not something I do on a regular basis for sure.

Do you crack the eggs in before or after you add the peanut butter?

I put hard boiled eggs in red gravy. I’ve cracked them as discussed and you are poaching them. Really good stuff and as a few have said I’m surprised people are surprised. Go eat a Carolina fish stew and they do the same thing. Key is not to stir.
I see Perm is in my tomato camp.
