Dessert Egg Taco (+Sweet Yolk Cookies) Recipe
Hello guys! Recently, I have become a cullinary artist of sorts (or at the very least, a decent cook), and I happened to create a recipe that I am rather proud of. So I thought I’d share it with you! Includes blurry pictures, so you too can view my cookery adventures and my hot, sexy spatula. <3
Ingredients: Tortilla, sugar, oil (NOT the spray kind), 2 eggs, plain cream cheese, yogurt, cinnamon, whipped cream. Equipment: frying pan, shallow bowl, spatula.
Put oil in frying pan, spread evenly (either by rotating the pan or, if you’re clean, with your hands). If you poured in too much oil, pour some of the extra into the shallow bowl. Then you turn on the heat, putting in the tortilla. This is to fry the tortilla nicely; I believe frying pan ids the best and most practical way to cook a tortilla evenly and nicely.
After a bit of time, flip your tortilla. Sprinkle a bit of sugar on it and spread it evenly with spatula; since it should still be coated ion oil, the sugar will stick nicely. Soon you will flip it again, and repeat. To cook the tortilla nicely, press down on the tortilla with the spatula so it is pushed into the pan’s bottom. After some periodic flipping to check for readiness, it should belovelygolden brown, in which you should put mister tortilla on a plate. This should only take a few minutes, if you have a good stove (electric stoves may take longer, but those are really lame). Sorry I don’t have more extact times, but of this this comes on instinct.
This may have possibly made your frying pan extremely hot. While this is not always nessacry, this may be a good time to run your pan under some water from the sink. If the water starts boiling like crazy, you know this was a good idea. (If you donb’t run your pan under cold water to cool it off sometimes, things heat a lot faster than you expect, and you can burn things really easily. Be sure to keep this in mind! ouo )
Mix whipped cream and cream cheese into yogurt to make a yummy mixture (I used strawberry yogurt). Using a yogurt cup is a good idea because you already have a bowl to mix it all in, and you don’t make too much. Mix well, as cream cheese tends not to break down easily. you may end up with clumps, but even if you do, it’s still tastey~
Spread this delicious mixture evenly onto one side of your sugar tortilla. You may have some leftofver. If you do, just snack on it as you continue to cook.
Once again, add oil to pan, pouring any excess into the shallow bowl from before. Crack the eggs and carefully pour in the egg whites, keeping the yolks out of the pan. The yolks are not being used yet. Yolks are placed in the shallow bowl (it doesn’t matter whether or not it has oil in it; that’s where the yolks go).
By the way, it is extremely hard to crack an egg and carefully extract egg whites with one hand so I can take a picture. I suffer for you guys.
As you put the heat on, add sugar and cinnamon to the egg whites (I added generously), Within seconds, it should begin to turn white around the edges. When this happens…
DESTROY THE EGGIES. OBLIBERATE THEM.
No. =7= (sorry, I am being silly). Quickly mix the cinnamon and sugar with the egg whites before it becomes too solid, turning the heat to low. This mixing will result in scrambling, which is good. You only need to do this for a little bit, a few seconds.
Once the egg whites are scrambly and solidified, chop them into little bits with your spatula. Smaller is better, but I was fine with mine being small, chewy little cubes of adorableness. All this time, you should have been moving them about, so they should been cooking pretty well. If there starts to be specks of black, worry not; that is most likely the cinammon, which loves to do that when heated. Continue to cook them over low heat until the egg whites have fleck of gold.
Place chewy egg whites on taco like so, centering them in a line in the middle. This can now be put in the refrigerator, as this dish is served cold.
Now you finally get to get rid of those pesky egg yolks! I came up with this as an afterthought, so it’s kind of an optional thing(?). First, take your frying pan (you needn’t cool it off; it’s actually better if it’s hot) and pour in some oil and water (a good amount of each, though oil should have a bit more), as well as another generous helping of sugar and cinnamon, and mix (the more sugar and cinnamon, the better this will turn out. Especially sugar. Need sugar). This is now your deep frier. You are going to deep fry your yolks.
Heat on high, and it should soon be at a rolling boil. This is extremely dangerous. Be smarter than me; don’t where a sleeveless shirt.
Carefully plop the yolks into the frying pan. (You will only have two; I have four because I was cooking for my family) There is absolutely no safe way to do this. XD Get to close to gently slide them in, and the oil will spit out and jump at you, burning you. Plopping them in from a distance cause a splash of hot oil. All I can say is try your best and hope your lucky. (By the way, I tried to drop them from a distance. And it splashed. And it was painful.)
The heat of the oil may pop some of the yolks. While not as nice, this is still okay. When the bottoms start to turn lighter, flip them. You will probably have to do this serveral times.
At this point, you may be running out of oil. After all, the water most likely evaporated. If you believe they have to cook a bit more (and ONLY if they must cook more), add a bit more oil. If you add too much, however….
…This happens. (Ha ha ha, I totally did that on purpose! ha ha ha……….that didn’t happen the first time I tried this recipe :<) This is why you should only add more if it is truly nesscary, mine were pretty much done, so I shouldn’t have done this.
Take the fried yolks out; they should have a tin film of sugar and cinnamon that will make them delicious. Wrap them in a paper towel, in a few layers, and press on them to soak some of the oil out (we’ll try to make this at least partially healthy). Take the taco out of the fridge.
Serve immediately, with the yolk cookies still being hot. Both are finger food. (the yolks should look many, many times better, but again, messed up).
TADAH! Enjoy. \ouo/ I hope you like the recipe. Some people do not like the texture of the egg taco, but I believe the egg brings a nice mellow taste to the more bouncy light cream mixture. =7= Also, the yolk cookies taste not-so-good cold, and I wouldn’t suggest microwaving them, so don’t let them cool.
See, aren’t I a good cook? Maybe?
