Creamy Egg Yolk Coffee Recipe
This creamy egg yolk coffee recipe is a decadent twist on your morning brew. Pasture-raised egg yolks blend effortlessly with hot, freshly brewed coffee, creating a custard-like richness. A splash of milk or cream softens the bold flavors, while maple syrup adds natural sweetness. Finished with just a pinch of mineral salt, it’s a rich, flavorful twist on your morning coffee that warms you from the first sip. Surprisingly, it doesn’t taste like egg coffee, yet it’s a delicious way to boost your coffee with raw healthy fats.
I love to bake with sourdough, and quite often we have something with sourdough for breakfast. This egg yolk coffee is the perfect thing to eat alongside my sourdough donuts recipe, a slice of my favorite high-protein egg bake made with cottage cheese, or even my overnight sourdough pancakes. It's also delicious for a mid-morning snack alongside some sourdough cinnamon roll focaccia. Want to make it even more creamy? Serve it with homemade healthy marshmallows.

I like to make an egg yolk coffee every morning. It gives my body nourishment until I can make breakfast. The great thing about an egg yolk coffee is that it doesn't taste like raw egg yolks; it just tastes like rich and creamy coffee. Farm-fresh egg yolks can be very nutritious, and this is a great way to include them in your diet. I don't like to drink coffee without some kind of protein, because it can make me feel jittery. So if I'm going to drink coffee first thing in the morning, I always make an egg yolk coffee with collagen, cream, maple syrup, and a little salt.
