Batter Ingredients (Makes 10 pieces)- 150g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 Egg (for batter)
- 150g Milk (lukewarm)
- 1 Tbsp Grapeseed oil
Egg Bread Filling- 10 Fresh eggs
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes
Seasoning- A pinch of salt
- 10 Fresh eggs
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes
Seasoning- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Crack 1 egg into a large bowl. Add a pinch of sugar and salt, then whisk with a hand whisk or balloon whisk for 2-3 minutes until smooth. The goal is to gently combine the yolk and white, rather than creating a stiff foam.
Step 2
Once slight foam appears, slowly pour in the lukewarm milk while mixing well. Ensure the milk is not too hot – just warm enough to touch comfortably. This prevents the egg from cooking prematurely.
Step 3
Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the batter. Gently mix until just combined and no dry flour streaks remain. Overmixing can make the bread tough, so mix only until the flour is incorporated.
Step 4
Finally, add the grapeseed oil and gently mix it into the batter. You can substitute with canola oil or any neutral vegetable oil. Once this step is done, your basic egg bread batter is ready.
Step 5
Generously grease muffin tins or specialized egg bread molds with butter or oil. Then, fill each mold with about one-third of the batter. Be careful not to overfill, as the bread will rise during baking.
Step 6
Carefully crack one fresh egg into each batter-filled mold, trying not to break the yolk. Lightly sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over each egg to enhance its flavor, and then sprinkle dried parsley flakes for a nice color and aroma.
Step 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 18-20 minutes. Check if the tops are golden brown and the eggs are cooked through. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them and adjust as needed. Carefully remove the freshly baked egg bread from the molds and enjoy while warm!
