Egg in a Glass

Recipe #383206 | 10 min | 3 min prep | add private note

A soft-boiled egg with cheese, herbs, butter, and a dash of pepper in a cup or a glass makes a very fast breakfast. I got the idea from a restaurant in Prague. You can pick your favorite cheese, herbs, and spices. I originally made this with parmesan. Sharp cheeses work better and are tastier if you slice and crumble them or shred them for yourself, rather than use packaged shredded cheese.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Pick a cup or a glass that you would not be afraid to heat slightly. Place it on the stove near the burner you are going to use for cooking the egg, not touching the burner, so it will heat slightly while the egg cooks.
  2. 2
    Put all ingredients except for the egg into the cup.
  3. 3
    Put the egg into a pan with cold water. Heat it to boiling, then lower heat to medium and simmer 3 minutes.
  4. 4
    Plunge the egg into cold water and peel it fast (so it would not go cold completely).
  5. 5
    Put the warm peeled egg into the cup and roll it around slightly in cheese, butter, herbs, and cayenne.

This is quick, although I'm not sure it's any quicker than a scrambled egg would be. The herbs are very nice, but there was something about the taste of the cheddar cheese and egg yolk together that I found a bit strange and unpleasant. I think next time I would leave the cheese out.

    I am writing because the name of this caught my eye. Growing up my Mom would make us "Eggs in a Cup" It was simply 2 or 3 pieces of bread torn up and put in any type of cup, 2 soft boiled eggs, butter, salt & pepper to taste, stir it all up and YUM!
