How To Make breakfast essentials: andy’s egg bumpers

  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  2

  The Meat: You could use some ground beef, or breakfast sausage. Because I am making this a bit South-of-the-Border, I am using chorizo. It goes without saying, that you can leave the meat out, and still have a good, tasty recipe.
• 
  3

  The Cheese: I make this with two cheeses: One of them is sliced, and one of them is grated. I choose provolone (sliced), and parmesan (grated).
• 
  4

  The Container: You need a small cup-like container that is big enough to hold the egg and ingredients. I am using a ceramic cup; however, any container should do. Just make sure that you coat the inside with some oil, or butter, so it will allow the egg to slide out, after it cooks.
• 
  5

  Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  6

  Cook up the meat (if using), in a small pan.
• 
  7

  Allow the meat to cool, while draining on a folded paper towel.
• 
  8

  Add the egg, and the heavy cream to a small mixing bowl, add some salt and pepper, to taste, and whisk.
• 
  9

  Chef’s Note: The more airy the egg the fluffier the final results.
• 
  10

  Use a cutter to cut the sliced cheese into a round that fits your container.
• 
  11

  Add half the whipped eggs to the container, and then lay the cheese slices on top.
• 
  12

  Add the meat, if using to the top of the cheese.
• 
  13

  Chef’s Note: The sliced cheese will help to keep the meat from sinking to the bottom.
• 
  14

  Add the remainder of the egg, and then top with the grated cheese.
• 
  15

  Add the raised rack to the pressure cooker, and fill with about one-cup of water, then add the egg bowl, to the rack.
• 
  16

  Chef’s Note: The egg bowl should be above the water. I am using a plate, because the spacing between the wires were too wide to hold the egg bowl safely.
• 
  17

  Put the top on the pressure cooker, set to high, and cook for seven minutes.
• 
  18

  After seven minutes, allow to stand for ten minutes, and then release the remaining steam.
•

  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  20

  Tip up-side-down, onto a serving plate, and serve possibly on a bed of lettuce, with some additional cheese, and maybe some good salsa. Up to you. Enjoy.
