Delicious Baked Eggs Made at Home
How to Make Delicious Baked Eggs Like ‘Maekbanseok’ Eggs
Here’s a simple recipe for baked eggs made with fresh eggs received as a thoughtful gift. You can easily make these at home, resulting in chewy on the outside and moist on the inside baked eggs that are just like the ‘Maekbanseok’ (stone-baked) eggs sold in stores. This magical recipe is achievable with just a rice cooker!
Ingredients- 8 fresh eggs
- 1 Tbsp coarse salt
- 200ml water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh eggs, which are the stars of this baked egg recipe. Washing them removes any dirt, ensuring a more hygienic and delicious final product.
Step 2
Next, dissolve 1 tablespoon of coarse salt in 200ml of water. This saltwater solution will help eliminate any eggy smell and impart a subtle seasoning to the eggs.
Step 3
Now, prepare your electric rice cooker. Line the bottom of the rice cooker with 2-3 layers of kitchen towels. This acts as a cushion to prevent the eggs from cracking and helps distribute heat evenly.
Step 4
Carefully place the washed eggs onto the kitchen towels. Try to leave some space between the eggs to prevent them from bumping into each other during cooking.
Step 5
Gently pour the prepared saltwater over the eggs, being careful not to submerge them completely. Don’t worry if the water level seems low; we’ll be using the rice cooker’s ‘steam’ or ‘cook’ function.
Step 6
It’s time to operate the rice cooker. Select the ‘steam’ function if available, or use the regular ‘cook’ function otherwise. Repeat this cooking cycle a total of two times (for a total of 3 cooking cycles).
Step 7
After completing the 3 cooking cycles in the rice cooker, your delicious baked eggs will be ready! As you can see in the picture, they will have a tempting brown color similar to the ‘Maekbanseok’ eggs sold commercially. Enjoy them warm right away, or let them cool for a delightful snack.
