# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crackle of that candy shell against gooey blondie creates the most satisfying texture contrast
  • They disappear faster than you can bake them, so consider doubling immediately
02 -
  • Underbaking slightly is your friend here, as these continue cooking in the pan and that gooey center is absolutely worth it
  • Rough chopping the eggs creates beautiful pops of color throughout, while leaving some whole makes the top irresistible
03 -
  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt across the top before baking transforms these from treats to something people will request by name
  • Let your melted butter cool slightly before mixing, otherwise you might accidentally cook the egg when you add it
