Ramen Egg Cups

Ingredients

toasted sesame seeds (optional)

1 tsp / 5 ml

hot sauce (or to taste)

1 tbsp / 15 ml

toasted sesame oil

2 tbsp / 30 ml

soy sauce

1 carton / 500 g

Egg Creations Whole Eggs Original or Fat Free Original, well shaken

1/4 cup / 50 ml

sliced green onions, plus extra to garnish

1/2 cup / 125 ml

chopped Shiitake mushrooms (optional)

2 package / 100g each

ramen noodles, seasoning packet discarded

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.

2. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions (omitting seasoning packet). Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

3. Toss cooked ramen noodles, mushrooms (if using) and onions in a large bowl. Add eggs, soy sauce, sesame oil and hot sauce. Stir well to combine.

4. Use tongs to divide noodles equally between muffin cups; divide any remaining egg mixture left in the bowl between muffin cups.

5. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes or until egg is set. Remove egg cups from muffin tin, running a butter knife around edges to loosen as necessary.

6. Garnish with extra green onions and toasted sesame seeds (if using) before serving.

Tips

1. Use 3 cups (750 ml) cooked spaghetti or spaghettini noodles instead of ramen noodles.

2. Serve cups with extra hot sauce on the side.

3. Replace green onions with chopped cilantro or chopped fresh basil.
