Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream (or dairy-free milk like almond or oat milk)
- Fresh chives or parsley (optional, finely chopped for garnish)
Instructions
- Separate the eggs: Crack 4 large eggs carefully, placing the whites in a clean bowl and yolks in another. Use room temperature eggs for best results. (5 minutes)
- Whisk the egg whites: Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat. (3-4 minutes)
- Fold in the yolks and milk: Gently fold the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of milk or cream into the fluffy whites using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy. (2 minutes)
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Let it melt slowly without browning. (2 minutes)
- Place the heart mold rings: Grease the inside of heart-shaped molds with butter, place them in the pan, and pour the egg mixture evenly into each mold, filling about three-quarters full. (2 minutes)
- Cook gently: Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for about 6-8 minutes until whites are set but tender and yolks are soft and slightly runny. For fully cooked yolks, cook 1-2 minutes longer. (6-8 minutes)
- Remove molds carefully: Gently lift molds off using tongs or a spatula. If eggs stick, run a knife around edges first. (1 minute)
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and chopped chives or parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for best fluffiness. Whisk egg whites to soft peaks only to avoid dryness. Cook on low heat with a lid to trap steam and cook evenly. Grease molds well to prevent sticking. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk. Variations include adding cheese, veggies, or herbs. Microwave option available but less fluffy.
