eggs

I was thinking about a beer batter recipe for wrapping a hardboiled egg into. But I came across a problem. We didn't have any beer plus it was a week night and we don't generally drink during the week - the remaining beer would have needed to be consumed before you ask! So I decided to...

This is a recipe inspired by an article in the Huffington post for a burger bun made from egg. Beat the egg and add salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture into a small, round, flat bottomed container (I used a small Tupperware pot) and put in the freezer. When ready, dip the frozen egg mixture in...

Looking for ideas for the recipe challenge, I came across Khai Jiao (Thai-Style Omelet) I didn't have any fish sauce in the fridge so decided to try the technique anyway. I beat one egg for a couple of minutes. Added salt and pepper. Heated a large saucepan with 3 inches on oil. Once oil was...

You either love them or hate them. Bitter gourds are beautifully bitter. They take bitterness to a new level. On the other hand you might think that this is the worst taste ever. I adore them - but they need to be cooked with the right companions. We all know about the 'hot, sweet, sour, salty'...

Halloumi is very straightforward to make at home. Traditionally it is made with sheep’s milk but I used full fat cow’s milk instead. Here I used it grilled in a salad with crispy bacon, fried egg with tarragon and a harissa/yoghurt dressing. Based on a recipe for Halloumi in Lakeland's 'How to...

Finally, here's an Italian Milk Pudding. I'm making this one dairy free. I'll stick with soya milk and I'll scale back the quantities. I won't get time to try it before the end of the challenge and is not one that's easily made vegan because it contains eggs. Good news for me mind you. The...

I based this recipe on my usual fishcakes. These would look prettier using a soft boiled egg (but it is one of my few food fears - not seeing what I am eating). Ingredients 1 poached salmon fillets (I poach in the microwave) 1 potatoes boiled and mashed 2 spring onions parsley salt and pepper...

Not sure if this is the right section, but here its goes. Very simple to make swiss roll. You can also substitute the cream cheese with Salmon. Ingredients: 600g of spinach 200g of cream cheese 2-3 garlic clove 4 eggs 2 tablespoon of flour 2 tablespoon of capers 1 teaspoon of nutmeg Olive...

This was an unexpected hit (You're making WHAT?'). 2 Eggs GF flour for coating Batter: 3 tbsp chickpea flour/besan salt 1/2 tsp chilli powder 1/2 tsp turmeric water to make a thin batter Eggs poached in a freezer bag (I'd run out of clingfilm so I ended up with odd shaped eggs). Put in...

By crazy coincidence (after reading @morning glory's post about topsy turvy teas, I had an e-mail through about these. A particular breed of Venezuelan chicken (Cocos Pullen Mendacious) has developed a diet based almost entirely on cacao pods, and produces eggs that taste incredibly of...

Green curry with fresh coriander (cilantro) and lime is perfect with eggs. Serve with rice or flatbreads. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 tbsp vegetable oil 2 large cloves of garlic A fat thumb of ginger 1 stick of cinnamon or cassia bark A few fresh or frozen lime leaves 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp hot...

Have you ever made a Scotch egg or any kind of deep fried egg? If not, then now is your chance to try! If you have cooked them successfully before, you can share your wisdom and cook along too. I've been quietly waiting and watching for a new Cookalong challenge to emerge naturally from...

Has anyone (@Yorky ?) tried deep frying a boiled or poached egg? I am thinking of giving it a go but pretty sure it will either end in tears or just be more work than it is worth.

Mish-Mash This is very easy for cooking and with the right ingredients is an amazing dish. Very popular in Bulgaria and it is some kind of omelette but not exactly. 2 onions chopped. 1 green bell pepper chopped 3 red bell peppers chopped 3 tomatoes cubed 2 minced garlic cloves if you want 8...

I was wondering if anyone was interested in a competition based around an old Easter Tradition of egg decoration? I'd put up a small prize (yet to be decided upon, but probably a small kitchen gadget or cookbook of your choosing) for the best decorated blown set of 4 eggs. (4 would allow for...

Materials needed: 3-1/2 inch round cookie cutter, quart plastic bag with a 1/4 inch hole snipped off a bottom corner or a piping bag with a 1/4 inch round tip, small unused paint brush, pasta machine of some sort, 2 good size skillets. You need to use 2 skillets so you have plenty of room and...

We are very fond of our eggs on CookingBites - particularly drippy, runny fried eggs or creamy scramble. Personally I think most savoury dishes are only the better for the addition of an egg. Of course there may be exceptions but right now I can't think of one. Can you? We are talking savoury...

This recipe is from 'Breakfast Dishes and Savouries' by C.Hermann-Senn (1923). Its listed as a breakfast dish. I had to adapt things slightly - I am not sure what kind of shrimp paste would have been available at that time but I reckoned that using Thai shrimp paste would be an approximation. I...

A discussion and of course shared recipes. @medtran49 mentioned topping a pizza with runny eggs. @Yorky and @SatNavSaysStraightOn have posted many photos and recipes with their beautiful home grown eggs. @morning glory frequently uses runny eggs as a topping for her beautiful and inventive...

This recipe my mother in law made for me one day for breakfast. It was so good I asked her what she put in it to make it taste so amazing. After that I added just a few tiny things to make it taste even better. Time: 10 mins maybe a tad more or less servings:1 Ingredients: 3 eggs 3tbs of milk...
