Eggcellent Recipes

Even in their simplest forms, eggs are delicious. They have a way of sneaking into recipes without our taste bud’s knowledge. Just think of all the amazing desserts you’ve made that require eggs, like French Silk Chocolate Pie. Almarsh uses two whole eggs in her recipe; they each add a rich creaminess to the pie’s texture, making it a decadent dessert.

You’ll even find eggs in mayonnaise, but their flavor is so mild, they tend to go unnoticed! Belinda uses a few egg yolks in her Classic Mayonnaise that she makes from scratch using just a handful of ingredients.

Here’s another way to have eggs for breakfast: Include them in a waffle recipe! Teesmith’s Mom’s Extraordinary Egg Nog Waffles use a tasty combination of ingredients like almond extract and butter. You don’t have to wait until breakfast to make these waffles, they sound like the perfect after-dinner dessert to me. Top them off with ice cream, and you’re set!

Curds also call for egg yolks. The Ultimate Lemon Bar consists of a lemon curd and shortbread crust. This dessert resembles both a cookie and a pie; it offers the best of both worlds…so long as you don’t end up with scrambled eggs during the cooking process :).
