This might sound nasty to some of you but this is something bodybuilders always do to maximize the amount of protein that they get from eggs. There is however a downside to this: if the egg is infected with salmonella, you will get sick so make sure to get handle your eggs properly.

Crack two eggs into a small, ovenproof ramekin and top with finely chopped vegetables and a splash of whole milk. Bake until whites are set but yolks are still runny enough for dipping.
