There are hundreds of different ways you can make eggs, and most of us have a favorite way we always come back to. If you’re looking for a change and want to make your breakfast look neater than ever, try this popular technique that’s often called the envelope technique.
Like most trends today (food-related or not), the trend spread on TikTok before becoming viral. The first and most popular video was shared by user @sunnycusine and you can watch it below.
You start by separating the egg white and yolk. Use a wok and start by pouring the egg white, then make a big circle out of it. It should remind you of a crepe.
Add the yolk in the middle of the circle and fold the egg white part towards the middle, just like the video shows.
You’ll end up with a square that resembles an envelope. If you flip the whole thing on the other side you’ll help it cook more evenly.
It looks fancy and uncommon, but it’s actually very easy to make with the right tools and a little practice. If you’re having problems with folding the egg white, let it cook a bit longer and try again, just don’t let it burn!
