Oh yes, they do look yummy!
This is the absolute WORST way to boil eggs! As soon as I dropped the eggs in half of the immediately cracked. The boiling water was a mess and half the eggs were in shambles appearance wise. Will go back to my old method!
Huh Interesting…. sorry it didn’t work for you. I’ve been making them this way for years without having that problem so not sure what could cause that. Were your eggs really cold??
There must be some error in the measurements, because when I make this recipe it makes way more filling than can fill the eggs (at least twice as much). Are these tablespoon measurements supposed to be teaspoons?
