Steamed savoury custard eggs

Ingredients

4 eggs
200ml (about 6.8 fl oz) chicken stock
1 tsp Maggi seasoning (or similar seasoning sauce)
½ tsp ground white pepper
chilli crisps, for garnish
small bunch of chives, finely sliced, for garnish

Directions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, chicken stock, Maggi seasoning, and ground white pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into a heatproof dish. Place the dish in a steamer basket.
Steam for 14 minutes. You can check for doneness by seeing if the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the centre.
Once steamed, remove the custard from the steamer and allow it to cool slightly.
Garnish the top of the custard with chilli crisps and finely sliced chives.
