How to cook deliciously - Rebel Within Muffins
1. Stage
Place 9 eggs in a large pot and cover with about 1” of water. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil, covered. As soon as it comes to a boil, turn off heat, keep covered, and let sit for 4 minutes.
2. Stage
Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath: In a large bowl, add about 2 cups ice and water to fill the bowl halfway. After 4 minutes, immediately transfer eggs to ice bath. Let cool for about 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel eggs and transfer them to refrigerator to continue cooling.
3. Stage
Make the batter: Preheat oven to 400° and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray, including tops of the pan, as the muffins will be large. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Stage
In a large bowl, whisk together butter, remaining 2 eggs, sour cream, and maple syrup. Add dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in ⅔ cup cheddar and all the chives. (The batter will be thick, similar to a cookie dough.)
5. Stage
Add about 2 tablespoons of batter to the bottom of 9 of the muffin cups and use your fingers to press batter about halfway up the sides. Place 1 soft-boiled egg into each one and then use your hands to cover each egg with more batter, making sure batter covers the entire side of the eggs. (Muffins will be tall and mounded in the middle.) Top each with the remaining ⅓ cup of cheddar.
6. Stage
Bake until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy while still warm.
