Spiced Tiramisu Eggs Are Really Satanic
We love our readers, don’t we guys? I know that. For the most part, the people who read and comment on Skillet (and Lifehacker in general) make up a pretty pleasant part of the internet, and I’m always impressed by the creative and unique cooking techniques and recipes that some of you come up with. … In fact, the reader’s suggested theme for today’s video is a creative and unique take on the classic boiled egg.
If you know me well enough, you know that I am a big boiled egg fan and that some may even call me a “purist.” Mayonnaise, mustard (that’s the “devil” agent) and maybe a little spice and smoked paprika are all you need to make a good one, although I was sometimes fascinated by the quirky little egg topped with prosciutto chips or a scatter of salmon roe. But those seasoned eggs aren’t covered in other smaller eggs – oh no. The eggs are decorated with cocoa powder and crumbled ladies’ fingers. I don’t know if they can be called “devilish”, but they are definitely satanic.
I will say that I liked one aspect of this egg much more than I expected. The filling was very pleasant – even delicious, especially when used as a sauce for ladies’ fingers – but I ran into some problems with the white. Maybe that’s my problem, but I can’t help thinking that this little dish is almost fantastic, and how I would love to reverse the order of the ingredients and put the filling on a female finger pillow and then use the egg. white for a meringue filling. This filling was cool, but it just wasn’t home in a hard-boiled white.
