After seeing this on TikTok for a month or so, I finally called “uncle” and tried this.
Let’s just say the first try was not a success.
What a shame, had to throw out 2 slices of yummy Dave’s Killer Bread.
I forgot that I was supposed to flip the bread so that it was eggy on both sides…which isn’t actually suggested in all videos, but should probably be done. My other issue is that the egg stuck to the pan and I couldn’t flip it.
Second attempt was much better. I used only one piece of bread (Dave’s Killer Bread…it’s the best) and I flipped the bread so it had egg on both sides.

This time I was able to flip it.
the whole thing, flipped
I filled it with turkey, cheese and sliced scallions.
Filled the sandwich
After folding the egg in, and putting it together, I flipped it one more time.
This morning I made poached eggs in the Instant Pot and it sorta worked…
Silicone egg bites tray
Method: I cooked them for 4 minutes on high pressure, quick release. Then I turned off the pot, put the lid on and let them sit for about another 3 minutes because I was getting the rice ready.
Result: They stuck even though I had a ton of spray on the egg bite tray.
One was just right, the other egg had gooby whites.
They also are a weird shape, but this is much easier than dealing with boiling water, swirling, the egg white flying all over and the clean up of doing in the old fashioned way.
Finished product served on leftover Chinese restaurant pork fried rice and sprinkled with salt, pepper and togarashi.

Update, I tried this again today (November 14, 2020) and still put them on high for 4 minutes, but this time I used the top of the egg tray. It appeared that they were still super wet in the middle and too goopy so I put them in for another minute and that resulted in basically hard boiled. So I guess I’d leave the top off, or go less time. I only had two eggs in the tray and the recipe says less time for more eggs. So if doing a full tray, 4 minutes would be too long.
Also my phone likes to think it knows better when I’m taking pictures of food and does a weird setting that makes most of the photo blurry. If I forget to turn this off, the photo is wonky. Sorry. Hey, the pepper looks great!
