This street snack is made by filling muffin cups with batter, topping each with a whole egg, bacon, and onion, and baking until golden brown in the oven. The trick is to lightly froth the eggs when mixing to keep the crumb fluffy, and mix just until no dry flour is visible. Enjoying it warm right out of the oven makes for a satisfying, filling bite that works well as a light meal.

1. Prepare the eggs to top the batter with, and finely chop the bacon and onion.
You can also prepare a little ham, cheese, or other vegetables.
2. Now, let's start the batter.
Add the sugar to the eggs and mix with a whisk until dissolved.
If you whip up just a light foam at this point, the crumb will turn out fluffy.
3. Pour in the milk and mix...
4. Add the sifted cake flour (+ baking powder, salt)...
5. Mix just until no dry flour is visible.
If you mix for too long, gluten will develop and the batter will turn out tough.
Pancake mix can also be used if you have it.
6. Grease the inside of the pan generously with butter or oil, and pour the batter in until about half full.
7. Crack 1 egg over each portion of batter, top with onion and bacon, and sprinkle gently with parsley.
8. Bake for about 20-25 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 °C for at least 10 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean with no wet batter, it is fully baked, so do not overbake.

FAQ
Can I use pancake mix instead of cake flour?
If you have pancake mix on hand, you can use it in place of cake flour for the batter.
Is there a trick to mixing the batter so it does not turn tough?
After adding the dry ingredients, mix gently only until no raw flour is visible to prevent gluten development and keep the texture from getting tough.
How do I check if the batter is fully baked in the oven?
If you insert a toothpick deep into the center of the bread and it comes out clean, the inside is properly done.
Can I add ingredients other than bacon as toppings?
Instead of bacon, you can top with a little ham, cheese, or other finely chopped vegetables to your liking before baking.
