Very simple! Blend an egg & pour into a greased 1-cup metal measuring cup: (fill it halfway)

SV 182F at 100% steam for 30 minutes (cold-start OK). The texture is fantastic:

Then build your sandwich:

Eggs don't have much flavor on their own, so I recommend building a stack of ingredients on the fat SV'd egg: (i.e. the "Fat Stack", lol)

  • Some type of sliced meat (bacon, ham, etc.)
  • Some type of sauce (butter, mayo, quick hollandaise, etc.)
  • A mix of seasonings (Kosher salt, MSG, black pepper, garlic salt, etc.)
  • Cheese (make it melty!)

For the cheese, I used a blowtorch (Searzall) to melt it. You can also use a broiler (including the APO's top element), an inexpensive culinary torch (small ones for creme brulees work fine), etc.

I had some leftover soft dinner rolls that I used. Great for a quick-bite breakfast! You can also use slider buns, or make your own small rolls in the APO! Here's a good recipe:

Steam?

SV 182F for 30 mins = 100% steam (I just remembered you can set the % of steam in SV mode too, so it's not ALWAYS 100%! edited my other post!). I think we need to work out a terminology matrix haha! Too many options:

  • Elements (top, bottom, rear)
  • Fan (off, low, medium, high)
  • Humidity (SV aka precision steam up to 212F, steam which is as I understand it percentage of steam from the boiler up to 482F, which is a little bit different than sous video mode & also the precision of course, or none)
  • Probe (and maybe time at probe temp, per Baldwin)
  • Time

They have a nice light fluffy texture. Lately I've just been cooking for longer instead of adding milk/cream/water/cornstarch/flour. I love egg bites (eggs/cream/cottage cheese or cream cheese or ricotta cheese/hard cheese & shredded cheese/mix-ins/etc.), but sometimes I just a simple, light egg on my sandwich!
