Never had them with gravy, but I do like hot English mustard. I have it with bangers, too.
Not according to the USDA. They’re older, but not necessarily bad.
I have had two scotch eggs in my life. Once at a restaurant by my house and then another time at the same restaurant. Then the restaurant stopped making them. They were excellent. Maybe I shouldn’t push my luck and ever have one again.
make some baked goods … especially cookies you’ll be surprised how fast you go through eggs …
Thanks for that! TIL.
Eggnog? I just learned that real eggnog has to sit in the fridge for a month and “talk to itself”. This recipe is from my boss at work.
Eggnog
You will need two bowls.
1 quart heavy cream
3 cups liquor (1 cup rum, 2 cups bourbon or just 3 cups of either one) 6 eggs
¾ cup sugar
pinch of salt
Beat until very light 6 egg yolks
½ cup sugar
pinch of salt
add the liquor and the cream
beat well
Beat until stiff 5 egg whites (throw away one egg white)
Beat in ¼ cup sugar
Carefully combine the two mixtures until thoroughly blended
Which is why it is way too late for even New Year’s Eggnog, as mentioned.
My gf has this and loves it. Pricking the shell before steaming means that the shells slide right off.
I’ve made fresh eggnog and served it the very same day several times. It was excellent! Sure, ageing it will change it some, but it’s great right away. Just be sure to taste it while adding the booze, as the flavors won’t have a chance to mellow with age. You can even serve the booze on the side if you want kids to help drink it up. Or just separate some out before you fortify it.
Slightly Burnt Toad in the Hole and Eggplant Fritters-- 5 eggs total.
The T in the H is very, very reminiscent of a Dutch Baby I made for the fam except instead of sausage it was strawberries and was dusted with powdered sugar. And wasn’t burnt.
Something I’ve asked my wife to make from time to time:
Great on baked goods, other desserts, in a ramekin topped with fresh whipped cream…
I was actually thinking of making lemon curd cookies for Christmas. But i don’t have the lemons and I am NOT trying to go to the supermarket for the next two days or so.
The only place I’ve ever had them, too!
Mine’s very simple. Just Best Foods mayonnaise, a little mustard, salt, and celery seed (crushed in your hand before stirring in). Oh, and hard boiled eggs, of course. I had egg salad like that at Lindberg’s Nutrition decades ago, and it hit the spot for me.
That’s absolutely fair. One thing I’ll mention is that in my area at least, while going into the store is sheer madness, the order ahead and pickup, while doing a brisk turnover, seems the smart way to get stuff you need. At least, as long as it isn’t anything you’re worried about having to substitute, or where being able to personally check quality/freshness is important.
Although it’s a small benefit, because in my area almost all the groceries are part of mini strip malls, and just getting in and out of them is an exercise in road rage.
Still, it’s worth doing for a post Xmas, pre-New Years egg-stravaganza!
I just skimmed the thread so may have missed it, but has anyone suggested eggs benedict?
Link to a recipe on allrecipes dot com. I don’t know how good it is.
All this egg talk makes me want to make deviled eggs. Dammit.
A xmas tradition is my gf sending me out to get the one thing she forgot….two or three times. Yesterday I was sent to the farm market for flour. Then, an hour later for butter.
Heh. I just got back from retrieving powdered sugar and chocolate chips.
You can use eggs to make a simple face mask.
IIRC the whites help tone skin & tighten pores, while the yolks are moisturizing for dry skin.
You can also use them in your hair, but be sure to rinse with cool water. Those of us who like hit showers risk scrambling the eggs directly on our scalps!
We bought 4 dozen eggs 2 days ago. Feeding 5 people for a week will get rid of those easily.
