dumb question~egg topper

[Guest guest]

I bought a stainless steel egg topper at a garage sale today for $.10. I

know how it works, but would you use it mostly for soft boiled eggs? Or is there

some other (probably completely obvious) use for them? Amy

Amy, there is another recipe you could make " Cheese and Herb Soufflé in Armor "

using egg topper...i hope this helps... Ingredients

 

3 Eggs

2 Egg whites

1 tablespoon fresh lemon thyme, minced

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 ounces vegan cheese

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Carefully score egg shells and remove tops. Rinse and save top halves for

garnish. Rinse and dry inside of lower halves, then drizzle with olive oil and

rub to cover interior. Drop a pinch of kosher salt in each shell, making sure to

evenly distribute throughout the surface.

(This will help the soufflé grab onto the shell’s inner surface as it rises.)

Set shells upright into a muffin tin. (I used brown rice to keep them

standing.)

Separate egg whites and yolks and place them in separate bowls. Add the

whites from two more eggs to the three already collected.

Take three egg yolks and whip together with the cheese, herbs, salt, and

pepper until fully combined and slightly fluffy.

Whip five egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Fold egg yolk mixture into whipped egg whites.

When fully combined, quickly pour mixture back into egg shells and place into

400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Garnish with oregano, and place top portion of egg shell over the soufflé as

a helmet.

Serve hot, before they fall.

I thought so too! I stored it in my 'den of seldom used kitchen toys'. I

just couldn't pass it by for a dime. I also got a great wooden spoon (DH makes

spoons for me, but this one was nice,even he admitted it. And for a

quarter....) Amy

you could use the egg shells and stuff them with egg salad or some other

salad for a cute way to serve them??
