Egg Cake with Fried Pork
We present to you a delicious recipe for the classic Danish dish egg cake. Our version is prepared in a pan over a long period at low heat and is served on a slice of rye bread with oven-fried pork and chives on top.
Ingredients
Egg Cake
- 14 pcs. Egg
- 50 gram Wheat Flour
- 500 gram Milk Can be replaced with 4 dl cream
- 6 gram Salt
- 2.3 gram Pepper
- 9.6 gram Baking Soda
Accessories/decorations
- 500 gram Pork Belly
- Chives For garnish
Instructions
Oven-fried Pork
- Cut the pork into slices and place them on a baking rack with a baking tray underneath.
- Fry them golden at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) in a convection oven. It takes about 30-45 minutes.
- The pork can also be fried in a pan or on the grill - this is a matter of one's "belief" on how one prefers their pork.
Pan-fried Egg Cake
- Whisk eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper together well so there are no lumps in the batter.
- Take a medium-sized frying pan and add a bit of oil to the pan (unless the pork was fried in the same pan).
- Add the egg mixture to the pan and bake the egg cake at medium heat for 45-60 minutes.
- Remember to stir the egg cake occasionally and lift its edge so that the uncooked egg can flow underneath the cooked egg cake.
- When the egg cake is done, it will feel firm but still slightly soft on top.
- Garnish the egg cake with fried pork and chives and serve with delicious rye bread and good butter.
