At breakfast or as a snack, the important thing is to make sure the eggs are very fresh, preferably organic, so you can enjoy a sweet moment of return to childhood in complete peace, accompanied by the aroma of coffee.

Method

Break the eggs, separate the yolks from the whites (which you will set aside for another use) and place the yolks in a cup with all the sugar. For our recipe we used "white" sugar because it is more neutral in flavour. Using unrefined cane sugar is certainly recommended to make the recipe more nutrient-rich, but it is worth noting that it intensifies the flavour of the preparation. The choice is yours!

Using a whisk (or a teaspoon), beat the yolks vigorously until you obtain a light, frothy and homogeneous mixture. Make a coffee and enjoy the beaten egg with wholemeal shortbread biscuits dipped in the coffee first.
