5. Remove thyme and pour the egg yolk mixture into the skillet.

6. Add on the top of yorks egg whites and spread whites evenly. Cover with a lid and cook on medium heat.

Slice into portions for easy serving. On the top I added a few leaves of thyme. Thyme is a great garnish because we use it to make omelette.
