The Aussie showed off her results by tapping the plump yolk with her finger, showing its firmness before she cuts it with a knife.
The runny insides served some delicious #yolkporn, which is a trending hashtag among foodies on social media.
"It's still really really gooey," she said.
A sizzling debate ensues
