How to Make Egg In A Glass
- Select an oven-safe cup or glass (approx. 8 oz capacity).
- Preheat the cup: Place the cup on a heat-resistant surface near a stove burner. The residual heat will gently warm the cup while you cook the egg.
- Prepare the cheesy base: Add 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/4 cup of grated sharp cheese (cheddar, Gruyere, or Parmesan), 1 teaspoon of your favorite chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill), and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the warmed cup.
- Gently cook the egg: Place 1 large egg in a small saucepan and cover with cold water (about 1 inch above the egg).
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for exactly 3 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk.
- Shock the egg: Immediately transfer the egg to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This makes peeling easier.
- Peel and serve: Gently peel the egg under cold running water. Place the warm, peeled egg into the prepared cup. Gently roll the egg to coat it with the cheese and herbs.
- Enjoy immediately!
