  4. Add vanilla bean paste, butter, milk and whisk to combine

  6. Beat together (third bowl) egg whites until peaks form - about 1 minute

Fry an Egg

  1. Heat a skillet over high heat and add 2 eggs
  2. Cook for 2 minutes, cover, turn off heat and let cook until desired texture of egg is reached - I like mine more on the done side, so I let them go about 5 minutes

Assembly
