# Egg-Filled Cheese Cones

Grated mozzarella fried until golden turns into a crisp, edible cone that holds soft eggs and crumbled bacon, a savory breakfast built to look like an ice cream cone. The trick is timing: lift the cheese while it is still warm and pliable, drape it over a foil-wrapped paper cone, and let it firm up in a glass. For the filling, whisked eggs poached straight in boiling water set into curds far more tender than pan-scrambled, ready in about two minutes and lifted out with a skimmer. Parmesan works in place of mozzarella, and dill stands in for the parsley if that is what you have.

## Ingredients

- 1 cup mozzarella (grated; or parmesan)
- bacon (a few slices)
- 3 pcs eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- ground black pepper
- dried parsley (or dill, to taste)
- water (for poaching)

## Instructions

1. Lay the bacon on a paper-towel-lined plate, cover with another paper towel, and microwave 3–4 minutes until crispy. Chop into small pieces. _(timer: 4 min)_
2. Heat a frying pan and add the grated mozzarella (or parmesan). Fry over medium heat until golden brown.
3. Make a cone form by wrapping foil around a paper cone. While the fried cheese is still pliable, drape it over the foil and mold it into a cone.
4. Set the cheese cone in a glass to hold its shape as it cools and firms.
5. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and dried parsley, and whisk well.
6. Pour the eggs into boiling water to cook — this keeps them maximally tender; they're done in a couple of minutes.
7. Lift the cooked eggs out with a skimmer and spoon the fluffy egg into the cheese cone. Top with the crispy chopped bacon.

## FAQ

### How do eggs cooked in water stay fluffy?

Whisked egg dropped into gently boiling water sets into soft, tender curds in about two minutes — lighter than pan-scrambled, and easy to scoop out with a skimmer.

### How do I shape the cheese cone without burning my hands?

Let the fried cheese cool a few seconds until pliable but not stiff, then drape it over a foil-wrapped paper cone. Use the foil as a heat barrier.

### Can I make the cheese cones ahead?

Shape them up to a few hours ahead and keep at room temperature so they stay crisp. Fill with the warm egg just before serving so the cone doesn't soften.
