These egg skewers are a simple recipe for breakfast for those who prefer egg yolks over egg whites. Each skewer has a cooked egg yolk on it which has a solid texture and is easy to eat like a lollipop.
To make the egg skewers, you start by separating egg yolks from egg whites, reserving the egg whites for another use. Then, you place toothpicks in a pan on the stove before adding an egg yolk on the end of each one, and cooking them until they are golden on both sides.
What are Egg Skewers?
Egg skewers are mini skewers that contain seasoned egg yolks. They are cooked in a pan on the stove, which allows the egg yolks to cook onto the skewers, making them easy to pick up to eat. All they need is a sprinkling of salt and pepper before you serve them with toast and fruit for breakfast.
Pro Tips
- When you separate the egg yolks from the whites, be careful not to break the yolks. You can use an egg separator to divide the yolks from the whites easily.
- Use toothpicks for the egg skewers to ensure that they fit in the pan easily.
- Don’t heat your pan to too high of a temperature or else they may have a sulphuric smell. A heat level of around medium to medium-low will be enough to perfectly cook the egg yolks.
- Serve the egg skewers with your favorite breakfast foods such as bacon, ham, sausage, pancakes, fresh fruit, and more.
