Ingredients

  • 1 emu egg (or 8 large chicken eggs)
  • 30 g unsalted butter

  3. Pour in ⅓ of the whisked eggs and use a fork to lightly fluff the top and create some texture.

Cook’s Notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
