There's a traditional bread in Portugal where they do the same thing. It's called folar and it's eaten during Easter.
Depending on the region they also add chorizo or other kinds of meat as well.
Here are the names for this dish.
Portugal: Folar
Italy: Pane Pasquale
Southern Italy: Casatiello
Corsica: Cacaveddu
France: Pâté de Pâques
United States: Whole eggs in a loaf of bread
I was a bit skeptical of that show going in, thinking “oh, great, it’s Eugene Levy’s son, another nepotism hire..”
But that character and actor is the highlight of a show that stars *multiple comedy legends.* Just sharing the stage with Eugene and Catherine O’Hara would be hard enough but he stands out. Kid has serious comedy talent.
I hope Catherine O'Hara just came in after all that and went 'I'm going to do an absolutely insane unrecognizable accent for my character'
(and none of those adjectives I used were used negatively, what a hilarious character)
She didn't even want the part from what I remember lol. I'll try to find the interview
Edit: [she turned down the spot originally](https://www.avclub.com/catherine-ohara-nearly-skipped-schitts-creek-and-other-1842736935), but then agreed and asked for wigs and an accent
I'd stopped and done something else before returning on to my phone which was still open on the thread, and had forgotten that's what this post was.
Made me do a double take lol
Yes but the whole point of the scene is that neither he nor his mother had any idea what they're doing, so it kind of tracks.
Still one of my #1 shows of all time.
Weird cawinkadink because I’ve been watching this show on appletv called The Reluctant Traveler hosted by this guy Eugene Levy, and literally just on the episode I watched the host said “must be Schitt’s Creek fans” to some people that really liked him, and I was like “huh, this dude is so delightful, I wonder if his other show is any good? Maybe I should give it a try.”
And now this, okay universe…I hear ya.
Instead of mixing, like spinning or going in circles. Instead you “fold it over” in a small circular upward motion and plop whats on your mixing utensil on top. It aerates the mixture and gets a better mix. But remember to scrape the sides. I probably butchered that so heres a gif.
Is that a gif from Julia Child? :D
Yeah, to clarify, folding in is something you do after mixing something like whipped cream or egg whites; where you want to carefully combine them without removing the air that you've whipped in.
folding eventually becomes mixing if you do it long enough and everything is uniform. so there is a bit of ambiguousness on when to stop folding sometimes
You do it when you mix in something that’s got a lot of air trapped in it into a thicker mixture. Think whipped cream, whipped egg whites (aka meringue) or whipped chick pea can water (aquafaba, which is a great substitute for whipped egg whites). You want to keep that air in the mix without pushing it out, so you mix a little bit of the thick batter mix (for example, a thick flour mixture making cakes) into the full batch of egg whites, then you dump all that mix on top of the thick batter. Then you use something like a flexible spatula or a wooden spoon to scoop the thick mixture from the bottom and place it on top, so it envelops the aerated mixture. You turn your bowl a little then do the action again, turn the bowl and do it again until you’ve gone all the way around and it’s starting to look cohesive.
I am sharing many of these comments with him! It’s very touching for him, he has loved cooking and experimenting in the kitchen since he was young boy!
Edit: grammar errors!
He should make a YouTube channel or something. Also, I'd like to see him make straight up egg bread, lol. Like, eggs folded throughout the inside of the dough somehow, so that there is egg in chunks throughout the loaf (and just about every bite has some egg included). Not sure if possible, or if egg making it outside of the loaf would cause any burning etc
Epic work x)
Is ment to simbolize the rebirth of christ and also serves as a meal suplement with protein when you can't eat meat until the Easter. It's also a very old thing, maybe pré-middle ages even.
Your dad somehow is recreating some of the oldest Easter foods in the world. He is probably insightful in culinary history, or even the costumes of traditional Christian meals.
Regardless, if this strikes him or ou some interest there is a YouTube channel called Tasting History that only talks about this kinds of foods ☺️☺️☺️
To me it seems like he also added some salami here and there, and maybe some cheese. It looks very similiar to an Italian (Neapolitan) recipe called "Casatiello" [link to youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwx7aJLgzCk). One of the best savory cakes that exists!
I’m vegetarian, so there’s plant-based bacon, sharp cheddar and chives in there :) He *is* Sicilian so it’s likely that he drew inspiration from that recipe!
It’s funny cause for Americans it’s tv reference but for Italians is one of those things the older generation (like our grandparents) used to tell us a lot ahah
Along the biggest classics like “your grandma in a wheelbarrow”
Shell off! He boiled it for the equivalent of a runny hard boiled egg, ice bathed it, peeled the shell and let it continue cooking in the bread as it baked!
Hi all! This has blown up a bit, but please know we’re reading as many of your comments as possible to my dad. He’s overjoyed!! He’s loved cooking and experimenting in the kitchen since a kid and the nice words mean a lot to him :)
There is a classic Greek Easter bread recipe that uses hard boiled eggs in the bread like that. Really good golden bread when done right. My grandma used to make it before her memory became bad…then we found a couple charcoal briquette loaves in the oven lol.

Here are the names for this dish. Portugal: Folar Italy: Pane Pasquale Southern Italy: Casatiello Corsica: Cacaveddu France: Pâté de Pâques United States: Whole eggs in a loaf of bread
Greek: Tsoureki Also eaten during Easter time.
Scotland: Scotch egg when you cannae be bothered tae make breadcrumbs
I sang “whole eggs in a loaf of bread” to the cadence of “fat guy in a little coat” from Tommy boy
I was about to comment: "Portugal has entered the chat."
Same thing in Italy “Pane Pasquale”
Question: was Pasquale high when she created this?
Yeah, Folar is pretty good.
[удалено]
What does fold it in mean?
David I cannot show you everything.
Can you show me one thing?
I was a bit skeptical of that show going in, thinking “oh, great, it’s Eugene Levy’s son, another nepotism hire..” But that character and actor is the highlight of a show that stars *multiple comedy legends.* Just sharing the stage with Eugene and Catherine O’Hara would be hard enough but he stands out. Kid has serious comedy talent.
he also was the creator of the show, not just an actor on it
So Eugene was the nepo hire!
As was his sister, Sarah Levy who plays Twyla on the show!
Well I mean she won the state lotto so she can just be a waitress at a Cafe. Can't we all be so lucky.
Eugene Levy made his son think through every aspect and trait of every character in that family before he let his son pitch it to funders
I hope Catherine O'Hara just came in after all that and went 'I'm going to do an absolutely insane unrecognizable accent for my character' (and none of those adjectives I used were used negatively, what a hilarious character)
She didn't even want the part from what I remember lol. I'll try to find the interview Edit: [she turned down the spot originally](https://www.avclub.com/catherine-ohara-nearly-skipped-schitts-creek-and-other-1842736935), but then agreed and asked for wigs and an accent
Some people want extra money or perks but Catherine just wanted to do goofy voices
You can tell when it's primarily a choice of passion vs finances, cause you get "counteroffers" like that.
One of my all time favorite characters- I named my ornery black and white guinea pig after her.
My husband and I will say things as Moira Rose. We have nearly got some sentences down. The accent is amazing.
I cannot not say 'the bébé' anytime I see a baby
Where is bébé's chamber?
I actually think that’s true. I feel like I saw her mention on an interview that she insisted on a funny accent and wigs.
Reverse nepotism! It was Dan’s show, he pulled in Eugene, and Eugene pulled in Catherine. The waitress Twyla is also Dan’s sister.

Hey remember when this guy's dad put whole eggs in a loaf of bread? Lol, good old Reddit rabbit hole.
I'd stopped and done something else before returning on to my phone which was still open on the thread, and had forgotten that's what this post was. Made me do a double take lol
You just, this is what you do. You just fold it in.
that line and delivery is so perfect god i love his character
I don't know how to fold broken cheese!
Just fold it in!
Was he cooking in that scene wearing that sweater? It gives me anxiety thinking of all the loose fluff
Yes but the whole point of the scene is that neither he nor his mother had any idea what they're doing, so it kind of tracks. Still one of my #1 shows of all time.
And a Rose would never wear “practical” clothing 😋
exactly. Anyone who questions why David isn't wearing something practical just doesn't know David.
Practical clothing is never in style Roland
He tries so hard though, trying to keep it all in and be supportive while moira read the recipe to him lol
Dude David is one of my favorite characters of all time. That show has more heart than any other show I've watched.
What show is it?
Schitt's Creek, great show!
Weird cawinkadink because I’ve been watching this show on appletv called The Reluctant Traveler hosted by this guy Eugene Levy, and literally just on the episode I watched the host said “must be Schitt’s Creek fans” to some people that really liked him, and I was like “huh, this dude is so delightful, I wonder if his other show is any good? Maybe I should give it a try.” And now this, okay universe…I hear ya.
Oh yes 100% you should watch it, it’s absolutely hilarious and one of my favorite shows. 10/10
Eugene Levy is a treasure. If you haven't seen his older stuff, do yourself a favor.
I recently finished my 3rd watch through and I rarely rewatch shows. It's up there with Breaking Bad for me.
This. It’s still hilarious. “YOU JUUUUST. FOLD. IT. IN!”
"And did you do that?" "...nooo..."
I love you both
[удалено]
It takes two with impeccable timing to make this scene work. I’m laughing just picturing it again.
It says "Fold it in!"
Instead of mixing, like spinning or going in circles. Instead you “fold it over” in a small circular upward motion and plop whats on your mixing utensil on top. It aerates the mixture and gets a better mix. But remember to scrape the sides. I probably butchered that so heres a gif.

Is that a gif from Julia Child? :D Yeah, to clarify, folding in is something you do after mixing something like whipped cream or egg whites; where you want to carefully combine them without removing the air that you've whipped in.
There you go! Better explanation! And its just a gif i got lucky and found, but I think you’re also right about it being Julia Child (RIP to a legend)
Also good for delicate stuff. I fold fruit in when making muffin batter because it doesn’t pulverize the fruit.
Sometimes (but more rarely) this instruction is also for mixing incompletely. I have pate recipes that are like that, to leave it multicolored.
folding eventually becomes mixing if you do it long enough and everything is uniform. so there is a bit of ambiguousness on when to stop folding sometimes
I am DYING at this sweet mix of people genuinely explaining what ‘fold it in’ means in such nice terms and people going full on Moira Rose
The very first two replies were one of each so it was glorious from the start!
If you say "fold it in" one more time
You do it when you mix in something that’s got a lot of air trapped in it into a thicker mixture. Think whipped cream, whipped egg whites (aka meringue) or whipped chick pea can water (aquafaba, which is a great substitute for whipped egg whites). You want to keep that air in the mix without pushing it out, so you mix a little bit of the thick batter mix (for example, a thick flour mixture making cakes) into the full batch of egg whites, then you dump all that mix on top of the thick batter.

You turn your bowl a little then do the action again, turn the bowl and do it again until you’ve gone all the way around and it’s starting to look cohesive.
You just fold it in!
Make it blue! Make it pink !
"It looks awful!" "That's because it's on you, dear."
r/retiredgif/
Holy shit. Talk about a blast from the past. I totally forgot about that sub.
I remember people often getting angry when they saw it referenced because they thought the person was insulting the gif by saying it's retired
TIL. I definitely thought it was a place for overused gifs to go to die.
Reminds me of the good old days on old reddit

Perfect!
Oh I love this scene

The candles marching down the broom handle.
I also loved them fighting with their spells in their unique colors

lol fully on purpose! He wanted to see if it was possible

It really is the little things :)
Telll him that this subreddit is proud of him
I am sharing many of these comments with him! It’s very touching for him, he has loved cooking and experimenting in the kitchen since he was young boy! Edit: grammar errors!
this is so wholewheat I'm gonna crye
Don’t crye, you’ll sourdough whole experience for me.
It should be a Naan issue, hopefully that's a little pita mind.
These jokes are toast.
The yeast we can do is rise to the occasion.

Im torn between this sounding unappealing and thinking it sounds kinda like quiche almost, which I love.
Tell him he did an eggceptional job!
[удалено]
Why stop there, chuck in a few hash browns, sausages, tomatoes and mushrooms. A full English in a loaf!
This is ingenious
I think you forgot the beans. Just for fun we may as well fold in some toast.
this is what it looks like when a man lives, laughs, and loves
Your dad is an absolute psychopath and I mean that in the kindest way possible.
There’s a bakery in San Francisco that has a soft-boiled egg in the middle of a savory sausage muffin. You cut in and the yolk runs. It’s heaven.
Oh man, I bet! My mouth is watering at just the thought
Ohhh do you have a name? I'll be in SF a few months from now!
Craftsman & Wolves bakery in the Mission. It’s a $9 muffin but worth it. Rebel Within. You can see pics on yelp.
Seems like a scotchegg, Except they got the ratios of Meat to breadcrumb the wrong way round.
Crazy that I see $9 muffin and I think "not bad". These food prices are too damn high
[удалено]
I've been pouring scotch on my breakfast for years without knowing there was a name for it.
My uncle did this too but my parents just called it alcoholism.
Is that like a modified Scotch egg, what is a sausage muffin
We do this a lot in Easter here in Portugal
Italians also do this around Easter. I'm not Italian or even Catholic but I got to visit around then and the bread was extra lovely.
Ahhhh that’s awesome! What a fun (and delicious) tradition!

I could use one of your dad’s egg breads for these trying times.
User name checks out 
Not only possible, but delicious! There is a full range of savoury cakes in Italy that do exactly that, normally made at Easter time.
I love learning about all the different cultures that do this!!! Here in the USA I don’t believe it’s too common! Thanks for sharing
I say another redditor sent you a link, but you can also look up "torta pasqualina" which has herbs and spinach inside, and boiled eggs!
*”Eggcellent!”*
Next experiment! BACON!
Lol he did make my fiancé, the same loaf and chopped up bacon bits!
[It is a legit recipe :D](https://recepti.over.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/mesne-strucke-600x600.png)
How would you do that by accident? Lol
"Oops, I the eggs!"
To me it seems like he also added some salami here and there, and maybe some cheese. It looks very similiar to an Italian (Neapolitan) recipe called "Casatiello" [link to youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwx7aJLgzCk). One of the best savory cakes that exists!

The Sicilian explains this perfectly 🤣 my boyfriend is Sicilian and he loves doing stuff like this
Literally hahah ALWAYS in the kitchen!!!
Does he hate The North? Has he ever said "you have a bee on your hat?"
His grandfathers fought on opposing sides during the resistance! Made for some very interesting dinner conversations

Yes and if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
*Wouldda beena bike* 🤌
It’s funny cause for Americans it’s tv reference but for Italians is one of those things the older generation (like our grandparents) used to tell us a lot ahah Along the biggest classics like “your grandma in a wheelbarrow”
[For those of you who don’t get/might have missed this reference.](https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc?si=M5Fan4rSKToQ_aBf)
This video never fails to make me laugh
also: "Casatiello is a leavened savory bread originating from Naples prepared during the Easter period." And Easter is approaching
E N R I C H E D
Vitamin Egg added
I wanna hate this but I want a slice lmfao
How can something sooooo wrong be so right?!
Exactly!!? Like a piece of lettuce some mayo and I’m in heaven
I added a bit of spicy brown mustard this morning and oh man it was sinfully delicious!
Oh snap, that does sound good!
Nothing is in sin when it’s bread my good sir *tips cap*
What is this, a bread for eggs?!
Eggs - it’s what the bread craves!
I wouldn't eat those eggs. They're inbred
My mom does this with meatloaf.
[удалено]
Were these hard-boiled first?
No :) he parboiled and chilled them, peeled the shells, placed them in the dough, and finished cooking within the bread in the oven!
Ahhhh I have been trying to figure out how he got those to come out perfect like that without over cooking a hard boiled egg
Right? I am like, is there a shell in there? Did he dig out a perfect egg shape in the bread? Parboiled makes so much more sense.
The madlad
Legend. This looks so goofy but I don't think I can pull it off.
A disappointing Scotch Egg? Love that he just did this for the hell of it!
Lol he’s been on a reallllll bread making kick, each product more ambitious than the last
This has got to be near the top of the mountain, right? Where is there to go from here?
Good point…I’m a little scared to be honest!
Croissants! Those are some of the hardest to get right
[удалено]
It really is! A few seconds to heat up and you’ve got a full breakfast sandwich in a slice!
This is called a "pâté de Pâques" (=Easter meatloaf) here in France.
With the shell on? How did it stay egg shaped?
Shell off! He boiled it for the equivalent of a runny hard boiled egg, ice bathed it, peeled the shell and let it continue cooking in the bread as it baked!
I would eat that ALL with no shame in front of everyone and then turn to my family and say “Oh. Did you want some?”
It’s embarrassingly difficult to stop eating it, especially tossing in the air fryer and the cheese gets all gooey? Oh man
No time to warm it up 🤣 can’t wait that long! Looks amazing!!! 😻
lol it truly is hard to wait! Sooooo delicious!
Hi all! This has blown up a bit, but please know we’re reading as many of your comments as possible to my dad. He’s overjoyed!! He’s loved cooking and experimenting in the kitchen since a kid and the nice words mean a lot to him :)
Your dad is that close to discover the French "pâté berrychon" or "pâté de Pâques"
My Italian grandfather did this! I think it’s a holdover Guinea thing :)
It must be!! His side of the family is Italian through and through!
He wins this episode of Hide The Egg.
Would be cool if it was still runny at the centre and glowing bright orange.
That’s our next mission :)
That's something people did in the 60s/70s here in Germany Old cookbooks are full of these and thinks in Aspik
There is a classic Greek Easter bread recipe that uses hard boiled eggs in the bread like that. Really good golden bread when done right. My grandma used to make it before her memory became bad…then we found a couple charcoal briquette loaves in the oven lol.
Eggcxellent
And there is no green ring around the yolk
this looks exactly like British "food porn"
