A muffin with a WHOLE boiled egg inside- made famous by the Craftsman & Wolves Restaurant- but easier than you think to recreate at home. The eggs should be jammy but my family balks at a yolk that runs, so mine are slightly firmer. You do you…

Recipe:

  • 5 eggs, boiled for exactly 3 minutes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 11/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 cup chopped chives

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 cup Half & Half

  • Additional cheese for topping.

Steps:

  1. Place a small scoop of the muffin batter in a muffin pan, top with the boiled egg. Place another scoop of batter on top of the egg, making sure the egg is fully enclosed with batter.

  2. Sprinkle muffins with additional cheese.

  3. Bake at 400°F for 16-18 minutes, depending on how firm you like your yolks.

  4. Tip – use a silicone muffin pan for extra large muffins.

A stoneground mustard crust, brown sugar for that sticky, lacquered finish, and a heaped spoonful of apricot jam that melts into the glaze and adds a subtle fruity tang.
