Description

Egg Volcanos are a delightful and visually appealing breakfast treat featuring fluffy whipped egg whites baked on bread slices, topped with runny egg yolks, seasoned with salt and pepper, and finished with melted cheddar cheese. This easy-to-make recipe combines simple ingredients to create a light, satisfying meal perfect for a cozy morning.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cheddar cheese, to taste

Bread

  • 2 slices bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the egg volcanos.
  2. Prepare Eggs: Separate the eggs by putting the whites in a mixing bowl and the yolks each into their own small cups or bowls, taking care not to break them.
  3. Whisk Egg Whites: Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, meaning the whites hold shape firmly when the whisk is lifted.
  4. Assemble on Bread: Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the bread slices on it. Spoon the whipped egg whites onto each slice, forming a mound. Create an indentation at the center of each mound large enough to hold an egg yolk.
  5. Add Yolks and Season: Carefully place one egg yolk into each indentation in the whipped egg whites. Season with salt and ground black pepper to your preference. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top of each prepared bread slice.
  6. Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the egg whites are set and lightly golden, and the cheese is melted.
  7. Serve: Remove the egg volcanos from the oven and serve immediately, ideally with extra toast on the side.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor.
  • Stiff peaks indicate well-whipped whites, crucial for the fluffy texture of the volcano ‘mountains’.
  • Adjust cheese quantity based on desired cheesiness; cheddar adds a nice sharp flavor.
  • You can use gluten-free bread if needed for dietary restrictions.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the runny yolk at its best.
