The Espresso Machine Makes the Best Eggs You’ve Never Tried

Omelet you in on a little secret: If you’ve got access to an espresso machine, the steam wand is one of the best egg-cooking tools in your kitchen.

This is not one of those hacks that gets by on its hackiness alone. The eggs are legitimately good. Fantastic, even. And fantastic in a way that you cannot achieve through any other cooking method that I know of. Uniquely delicious. Enough to give your non-stick pan an eggs-istential crisis.

What makes them so good? The main thing is their texture. They come out somehow more tender and custardy than any eggs cooked in a pan, with an almost magical lightness to them, thanks to the extra air and moisture that the steam wand adds to them as they cook.

Moreover, the method is fast. I’ve timed it. Provided you’ve got your espresso machine’s steam wand ready to fire up, two eggs will cook in 37 seconds flat. It also requires virtually no clean-up, since the eggs cook right in the cup you serve them out of. All it takes is giving the steam wand a good wipe-down with a damp towel, the same as you’d do if steaming milk for your morning latte.

So what’s the catch? Honestly, if you already own an espresso machine, there is no catch that I can think of.

Espresso machine? More like eggs-presto machine, am I right?
