2 Egg Coffee Recipes From Around The World
You're probably thinking that eggs and coffee only go well together when one is on a plate and the other is in a mug. It is true that a nice hot cup of coffee goes great with your breakfast, but there's another combination that any true coffee lover should try at least once. Actually, there are two ways to make egg coffee - one comes from the northern reaches of Scandinavia and the other has its origins in Vietnam's capital city.
The next time you have friends over, impress them with these tasty recipes:
1. Swedish Egg Coffee
It is believed that this recipe originated from Swedish settlers in America. In the old days, many Americans would make "cowboy coffee" by throwing the grounds in a pot of boiling water. It worked, but often made for quite a gritty cup of coffee. By adding an egg to that recipe, the grounds stay at the bottom of the pot, leaving you with a clear cup of coffee.
