MrsT specifically requested another NY Sour for today's cocktail hour. It's a hit!

Has anybody ever made Minneapolis' "Holidazzle Eggs?"

Are the edible - or are they just hollow decorated eggs?

I'm kind of curious why when I do a search, I don't find any examples of anybody ever using an egg wash on baked goods.

An egg wash is used to give crusts and baked good surfaces a sort of 'shine'.

I use an egg wash all the time, including today.

I looked up Holidazzle Eggs. It is just the shell. The egg is blown out.

I always use and egg wash. I thought that was a given.

Nobody has entered a dish using a century egg. Of course, flyinglentris still has 11 days left.

For an egg wash, do members typically set aside some egg white, egg yolk or whole egg? Do you use a whole new egg or just skim off some egg from the egg(s) you may be using in a recipe?

If whole new eggs are used, that seems to me to be more added to the egg budget.

Unless a recipe says differently, I just use a whole egg. Sometimes I thin it with milk, sometimes water, sometimes I add a little salt, sometimes not.

Today it was a whole egg, a little water, no salt.

I just use one whole egg, thoroughly scrambled. If you don't want to waste eggs, use two or three eggs, put the extra scrambled eggs in a container in the fridge, and make some scrambled eggs for breakfast the next morning.

I pay about $1-$1.25 for a dozen eggs, so not exactly a budget breaker.
