  • Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Mix egg whites until you get a nice, foamy texture.
  • In another bowl, mix egg yolks with sugar for a minute. If chocolate is cool enough, add it to the egg yolks mixture, along with poppy seeds, jam and two grated apples.
  • Slowly stir in the egg whites using a wooden spoon. You don't want to overmix it because it won't be fluffy and juicy.
