argent13uk Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hiya, As i am now the proud recipient of 2 eggs a day - i have become adventerous in my egg cooking. I made the best toad in the hole ever with my eggs - the pudding rose beautifully and had a magnificent colour. I attribute it solely to the great fresh eggs my chickens produce. what other egg based dishes have people found improved with thier fresh eggs? must admit i cant beat the boiled eggs and soldiers!

Nicola H Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I also find that the fresh eggs my chickens produce make fantastic Yorkshire puds. I think that baked egg custard tart and home made mayonnaise taste great when made with the eggs from my girls........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I used to HATE fried and poached eggs before we got our girls but now I adore them. The whites are so light and not sloppy and the yolks so rich and creamy that to be honest, there's nothing I like better than a simple egg; either boiled, poached or fried They make scrummy bread and butter pudding though!!!! yum!

Clarabelle Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I made a wonderful frittata with 5 eggs, leeks, mushrooms, courgettes and sun-dried tomatoes the other day. It was a beautiful sunny yellow colour and tasted delicious. Definitely better than any I've made with shop-bought eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara.F Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 my cakes are distinctly more yellow when I use our own eggs and I often find I have to add a drop of milk because they are so rich and thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I gave the chooks a yorkshire pud tonight - I wish I had a VCR - they tackled each other and ran around the garden for a good 10 mins - they were so funny, just when one thought it was safe to put it down another would rugby tackle from behind - at one point bella put her heads between nutmegs legs to grab it from the floor. Probably looked a lot funnier than it sounds, but it kept us entertained. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus poached eggs seem to 'hold' themselves together better now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsm_jones Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 WE made the most delicious leek and cheddar quiche and mini quiches last weekend. Yum Yum. Just roll out "Just Roll" Short pastry. MIx 4 eggs with 300 ml double cream. Put your filling in and cook at 180c for about 25-30 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Apart from delicious Yorkshire puddings, fairy cakes and all eggs they also make a fantastic carbonara. Jamie Oliver @ home - courgette carbonara, would highly recomend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
