From what I understand this coffee recipe has it's origins in the Nordic regions (Norway, Sweden, and Denmark) some time before the 1940's. It has since lost popularity, but is still used by Swedish people in the Midwest area of America(specifically Minnesota). If you think that Norwegian Egg Coffee sounds a bit strange, just give it a try. The egg and shell bind with the coffee grounds while boiling so that you have less "sludge" in your cup. It also gives your coffee a less bitter flavor so you can use any type of coffee grounds you like and still get a great tasting cup-o-joe. You can also call this Swedish Egg Coffee (Svensk äggkaffe) although I've heard many Swedish people have never heard of this way of making coffee. I guess it could generally be called Scandinavian Egg Coffee so as to not offend anyone in particular. Ingredients: 1/3 cup coffee grounds 1 egg (shell and all) 2 1/2 cups water Mix coffee grounds and entire egg until you get a paste. Boil water. Add coffee-egg paste to boiling water. Let it boil on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Let coffee sit for a minute or 2 to let the ground/egg settle. Pour coffee into a decanter, french press, or anything that can pour liquid. Serve and enjoy!
