Eggettes

A visit to Millbrae a few weeks ago introduced me to a new food: eggettes. The dish is a waffle cooked on an iron that forms the batter into little egg shapes. The trend comes from Hong Kong, so its appearance in the dim sum haven of Millbrae makes perfect sense.

The batter for eggettes is a simple egg, flour, sugar, and milk mixture and tastes appropriately eggy. Out of the iron, eggettes form a curled sheet; you tear off the egg shapes one by one and eat them plain.
