Abstract
Abstract An egg product is formed by separating the raw egg white from the yoke and hard-boiling the white around a meat or other food center to produce an egg product which resembles a hard-boiled egg having the substitute yoke consisting of any desired food material. The apparatus includes a cup having a spike to support the substitute yoke and an opening at the top to permit the white of the egg to be poured therein, to surround the substitute yoke. The cup has the shape of an egg and when heated in a water bath produces the desired egg product.
