My mom (a Brasileira), made this one time when I was younger. She called it "Papa de Trigo." I presume a regional name for the dish. I loved it so much. I have been having a hankering for this, for a few years now. I'm glad this post came about. I just have one question, Does the Egg Yolk have to be tempered?

Beat it a little then drizzle it slowly into the porridge while continuing to stir.

Papas are very popular in the Azores, my mom use to make it with Corn Meal, White flour, sometimes Corn Starch, back in late 50 and 60 even today once in a while I have for breakfast papas com Corn Starch. It was always so good.
