eggs

Don’t worry! You’re still reading that article about Kmart pie maker recipes! Yes – your Kmart pie maker is actually really good at making eggs. If you struggle to make poached eggs the traditional way you can crack an egg into you Kmart pie maker instead!

Your Kmart pie maker can also create the perfect cooked eggs to add to a bacon and egg roll. Follow the steps above but cook the egg for a little longer for a tender cooked egg that won’t drip all over the shop!
