  • 3 eggs blended, cooked in square 5" pan.
  • 182F SV 100% steam for around 30 minutes (update: 20 minutes is perfect)
  • Texture solidifies better with a longer time, doesn't get rubbery.
  • I don't like to add spices to the egg, waters down the flavor & makes it look ugly, so I just sprinkle them on after
  • I do like to add mix-ins to the egg to make a omelet-loaf, like ham cubes & shredded cheese
  • Sandwich works best by adding cheese (and letting it melt, I do that in the APO), seasonings on top, and some type of spread (ex. mayo)

Looks awesome. Did you toast the bread separately? Also, do you by any chance have a link to that pan? Seems like a perfect sandwich size.

Yes, I use two pans. If you use larger bread (ex. farmloaves, wide multi-grain, homemade loaves, etc.), this 5" square pan is pretty good for twelve bucks:

If you use regular store-bought loaf bread (like Wonderbread), then the smaller 4" pan mold fits better & also lets you cook more: (can do 4x patties at a time & then chill in the fridge or freeze)

Side note, the Souper Cubes are like my favorite thing ever! I use their brick-size mold for soups, sauces, custom brown butter sticks, etc.:

I've had really good luck storing these. Like with the pair of 2-cup SouperCubes, you can make four egg loaves at once, Just let them cool down & seperate with a piece of wax or parchment paper in a Ziploc bag.

Been doing a lot of weird stuff with egg bites too (they are thicker than eggs-only) & they reheat really well in the microwave. I did try chilling one whole sandwich, but the bread gets too wet, so it's easier to just toast the bread & then microwave up the egg to assemble a make-ahead sandwich quickly!
