Egg-in-toast Recipe

Ingredients:
 
2 slices of wholemeal bread (use white bread if the person eating hates wholemeal...)
 
Mayonnaise (I like to spread Prego pasta sauce. Do put any spread you like, or maybe specifically, the person who's going eat that yup. My grandparents love mayo cos its sweet^^)
 
1 slice of cheese
 
1 egg
 
 Ham (optional)





Let's Start:)
 
1. Preheat oven. (any temp so long as theres heat. I always use 180 degreesC) Spread mayo on one slice of bread.
 
2. Using a small knife, cut a hole on the other slice of bread. I use this egg shaper to press a rough shape on the bread, then cut with the small knife (this cant be used to cut the bread cos it will flatten the bread and break the outer shape cos if the handle part see... so dont be lazy, do more for your love ones!)

3. Cut cheese slice into thin strips, um about each 1cm thick

4. Place cheese strips on the sides of the bread slice with the spread.

(if you happened to break the heart shape while cutting, do place some cheese between the break so that it seals up when melted. You wont want egg dripping all over your oven... )

5. Place bread on top and pop it into the oven for about 2mins or so.
(Note: this step is really important, ensure that the cheese is melted so that the egg will not flow out when egg is added in later. Also, do not overbake the bread cos you will still need bake them about 5mins later to cook the egg. If your bread is already very brown, it will turn black later lol)

6. Crack an egg into the hole, CAREFULLY. (you may want to crack the egg in another bowl first before pouring it into the hole, such that if u already accidentally broke the egg yolk, you can choose not to pour that ugly egg in :P)

7. Pop them into the oven again and wait till you see the egg white turning from translucent to white.

Do note that the eggs are actually meant to be like soft boiled texture, if u wan really cooked egg, be prepared for chaoda bread and cos it baked in oven, you get rubber egg for a fully cooked one lol:P

8. Take the toasts out of oven when done. I cut chicken hams with my egg shaper (this one can just cut with the shaper) and place the outer part at the sides:)


and yes, remember you still got the small pieces of heart shaped bread, toast them with cheese in the oven too and add the heart shaped ham on top! ^^

note that i only steam the ham and put on top instead of popping them into the oven together with the bread cos baking will dry up the ham and turn them chewy...

So thats all folks! Surprise your love with this breakfast made with love and brighten up their day! Remember, always think of the person you are going to make this for, make them truly with love and the eggs will bake nicely for you in the oven<3

there will be more recipes flooding into my head everyday, I should just post this up quick before it gets too overwhelming. Wanna make choux puff pastry today:)

Apple Cinnamon Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

(Pastry)-- Refer to recipe for pastry used in Pineapple Tart Recipe

(Fillings)--

10 apples (peeled, remove core and cut into small cubes)

4 tbsp butter

¾ cup sugar (may like to reduce to ½ cup of sugar if you dont like it too sweet)

1 tsp cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1½ tbsp cornflour

Orange Zest

2 tsp lemon juice

½ tsp vanilla essence



Let's Bake!

1. Prepare the pastry. Butter every tartlet cups with butter and press pastry in. Every done tartlet pastry should be placed into the fridge immediately so that pastry remains dry. (butter in the pastry will melt, making it soggy) 

2. In a big pan, melt butter over medium heat.

3. Add in apples and saute for about 5-8mins or so, until apples are more or less softened.





















4. In another bowl, mix cinnamon, sugar, cornflour together

5. Add to apples and stir to coat (low heat). Cook until bubbly and most importantly, when apples are very tender, mixture thickens.

6. Add in lemon juice and orange/lemon zest (i used orange cos I dont have lemon and i added the super sour mango puree instead haha)


7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla essence. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature.

8. In the meanwhile, pierce pastry cups with a fork

and bake in oven for about 10mins.

9. Decorate! then brush egg yolk mixture on the deco you just put. (egg yolk mixture: 1 egg yolk, 1 tbsp milk)

10. Pop them back into the oven and bake for 10mins or so when the pastry on top turns nicely golden colour:)

If you are as lazy as me, just dont feel like lining all the pastry onto the small tartlet cups, make a big one with the rest of the pastry and apple mixture haha:)

Thats all folks! Enjoy! its REALLY nice...

Yes, i'm back with more recipes that I tried out today:) haha you would have known what it is if you are constantly following my instragram and facebook photos! XP

so, lets begin with...

Pandan Chiffon Cake Recipe:)

Ingredients:

(NOTE~ for this recipe, use the same spoon to measure all ingredients. I used the chinese soup spoon btw)

6 egg whites

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

4½ spoons of sugar (i used 6 and 5 spoons today which I still find it still too sweet for me?)

6 spoons of coconut milk


Approx 1-2 drops of pandan paste

6 spoons of self-raising flour



LET'S START!


 1. Beat egg white, sugar and cream of tartar together. Start with lower speed on the mixer and increase to max speed. Stop when soft peaks are acheived. In the meanwhile, preheat oven at 180degreeC.

you may like to check if the egg white is well beaten up by turning the bowl upside down. There should be no liquid flowing out.

3. In another bowl, mix coconut milk with pandan paste. Fold into egg white mixture.

4. Sift in self-raising flour gradually, bit by bit, FOLDING the flour into the mixture. Do not overmix the batter.

5. Butter the sides of the cake pan. Pour batter carefully into pan and spread the top evenly.





















6. Bake cake in oven for about 35-45mins depending on different oven (i took cake out at 35min when I smell really good coconut smell. This ensures that cake remains rather moist and not overbaked)


7. THIS STEP IS SUPER CRUCIAL!

After taking cake out of oven,dont do anything except TURNING PAN OVER! By turning the pan over for 1-2hours for the cake to cool, it prevents the cake from sinking back.

This is what i meant. My first one sunk into a flat piece of kueh cos i took it out to cool...




Yup so thats all folks, really simple pandan chiffon cake for teabreak! ^^

Hey people! yup im back with more recipes to share:) sorry have been lazy to post them up this few days. Here's...


Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

2 eggs

½ cup vegetable oil / melted butter if you want a buttery flavour

3 tsp of vanilla essence

1/3 cup of sugar (initial recipe calls for ¾ cups of sugar, but after trying out, I think 1/3 cup is enough, since you will be coating it with sugar too)

2¼-2½ cups of flour (initially 2 cups, but the batter was way too soft to work with)

3 tbsp cornflour

2 tsp baking powder/soda

25g milk powder

½ tsp salt



Baking Time!

1. Beat eggs, vanilla essence, sugar, salt and oil together.





















2. In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder together

3. Sift in the flour+baking powder bit by bit, folding them into the mixture.

4. Sift in the milk powder too



5. Mix well (add more flour if needed, so that its not too watery or soft). Put in fridge for about 15-20mins.


6. Take dough out of fridge, it should have hardened abit so that its easier to work with.

Prepare a plate of sugar and a plate of flour.

Preheat oven at 180degreesC, timing up to you, so long as the oven is heated all e way till you pop the tray of cookies in^^

Flour both hands before working with the dough. Pinch off some dough with floured hands and roll it into a ball. Coat half of the ball with sugar before placing it onto baking pan (lined with non-stick baking paper or you may just grease with butter) Do note that the side with sugar should not be in contact with the pan, or it might burn the cookies.

Repeat steps until you get a tray of cookies. DO NOT put them too close cos they expand really quite abit, leave space for them to grow!:) Also, every ball of dough have to be rolled on spot before popping the tray into oven, not beforehand yup.


7. Pop them into the oven for about 10mins until golden brown. If you prefer softer texture, you can take them out with tinge of browness. lol i dunno what im talking. yup, just rmb, the browner the crispier. So, just try them out yup, for me, the oven always give me uneven heating on different corners, so i either take them out and turn them another way round before popping them back into oven to brown the other side, or I choose to have different texture cookies :)

Note that they really grow well, so leave them space if not you will get a huge piece of cookie all stuck together and when you break them apart it wont look nice...




 






















8. This is an optional step. I just like my cookies to be pretty, so yup I used cookie cutter to cut out pieces of cheese and pop them back into the oven for about 2mins or so,just enough to melt the cheese so that it sticks to the cookie. Do not do this step if your cookies are already very brown as the cookies will still continue to brown while the cheese melts.

Alternatively, you can add anything in step 6. You may like to wrap cheese chunks into the cookie or chocolate chips so that chocolate will ooze out (but if you are wrapping choc chips, pls reduce the sugar you mix into the dough) You may also like to mix cinnamon powder into your sugar before coating your cookies so you get cinnamon sugar cookies, or you may want to coat your cookies with chocolate sprinkles or just leave them plain and decorate with royal icing? Whatever you like! :D


Thats all folks! Happy baking! ^^
