eggs

What are the strangest eggs you ever saw being called for in a recipe? Call me one-dimensional but I can't get any egg other than chicken over my lips.

I've seen a few elaborate dishes mention duck eggs as part of their recipes. I've never actually ever tried one and I was just wanting to know how they compare to normal chicken eggs. Obviously, there's a difference in size but is there a difference in texture and taste?

I love eggs and specially if I'm on a diet (I love the Dukan diet), I eat a lot of eggs. However, I have always heard you are not supposed to eat too many eggs because they are not good for your health and your cholesterol if eaten too much. How many eggs can you really eat everyday without...

This is a very nice recipe for when you don't want to think about what you're cooking and you get bored with simple fried or scrambled eggs. Here is what you do: Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan - if you have one that is deep, that's easier. Add bread in bite-size pieces - I usually use...

Hereto, you read it correctly, coddled eggs. I thought my oh had gone mad when he announced he wanted cobbled eggs at the weekend. A little searching online revealed it was actually cobbled eggs he meant and after a few minutes I had a rough idea on how to make them without specialist coddled...

I have to ask this question because it seems in my home these are three food items we try never to be without. We always make sure that we stock up on eggs, milk and cheese. Yes when it comes to cooking all three of these can be essential. Eggs are used much in baking and so can milk. Cheese...

My ex-wife taught me how to make a very simple, but delicious sandwich. All you have to do is take a slice of bread, push a drinking glass into it, cutting out a small round piece. You butter the bread and begin frying it. You then break an egg and put the yolk in the hole, and let it cook. When...

There has been an African American manner to preparing macaroni and cheese. It is baked using egg and flour as a binder. Since I use cheddar cheese, there is no reason to use additional butter. I was taught to cook the macaroni until firm, al dente. Cook and then drain the macaroni. Then let it...

How do you make yours? I've seen so many different ways over time. Only the eggs, added milk, added cream, added milk and cream, added cheese.. you name it. I did actually used to add a splash of milk to mine, while stirring in a frying pan, but I recently came across a recipe/method from...

We had family over at Christmas and instead of cooking set meals we spread out a number of different bits for people to pick at, including a simple egg salad that my wife likes to make; bed of iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumber, chopped cherry tomatoes, smattering of mayonnaise, and then add some...

Okay I'm a big food lover, I admit it. But I am not a big cook nor do I like asking my mother to make me breakfast because she's usually busy enough for dinner. When it comes to eggs, I LOVE THEM! I eat them so I can feel full longer, benefit from it's vitamins and protein, and it also helps...

I love cooking eggs all sorts of ways, and I've almost always used butter to cook them. My grandparents always used to cook their eggs in olive oil instead - which is nice too, I love the smell of it. However when I am making omelettes, I try to get the eggs to set without browning them - which...

This post was inspired by this BBC Good Food feature on tapas. When we go out for lunch in Spain, or when I'm entertaining here in the UK or over there, I love a selection of tapas. My own particular favourites are: tortilla albondigas (meatballs) magre de cerdo (tomato-based pork stew)...
