This jammy-egg-in-a-cornmeal-muffin craze started a long time ago, and I'm just now joining the party with these jumbo ones!

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 jumbo muffin tin

Ingredients

  • 9 eggs, divided
  • 12 tablespoons (170g) neutral oil, such as avocado oil
  • 2/3 cup (150g) buttermilk
  • 2 1/3 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup (90g) cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/3 cup chives, finely chopped

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F convection or 425°F standard.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 170 grams of oil, and 150 grams of buttermilk.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 330 grams of all-purpose flour, 90 grams of cornmeal, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon each of smoked paprika, chili powder, dried rosemary, white pepper.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the wet ingredients in two batches, switching from a whisk to a spatula to mix. The batter will get thick, nearly a dough. Don’t overmix, then set this aside.
  5. In a medium pot, boil six eggs for 5 1/2 minutes. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath. Peel them within 2 minutes - they are easiest to peel right after being shocked in ice water.
  6. Line a jumbo muffin tin. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin. Nestle an egg in the center, then scoop 3 more tablespoons of batter around the top, pinching to encapsulate the egg. I like to use a cookie scoop for this.
  7. Repeat with all the eggs. You’ll want them full encased in the batter, that's how they stay jammy even after baking.
  8. Bake the muffins for 18-19 minutes, or until the batter is domed and golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and enjoy warm!
