Eggsplosion Pie

What do you do when you unexpectedly end up with over two dozen fresh eggs? Well, eggs are pretty versatile in the kitchen, but I didn’t want to have to make dozens of different things just to use them up. I wanted to quickly half the quantity of available eggs on hand so they wouldn’t [...]

Steak with chimichurri and quail eggs

Do you tend to forget how awesome some foods are if you haven’t had them in a while? I do. I definitely forgot how awesome chimichurri was with steak until last weekend. I was over at a friend’s house and they grilled some beef and served it with chimichurri. Now, chimichurri isn’t unusual, but I [...]

Duck Egg Soufflé

A few weeks ago a made a tasty cheese souffle. It was such a smashing success that I knew I’d have to make it again. I’m rarely content making the exact same dish twice; I normally look for a small change that can be tweaked to subtle change the dish. As I’ve come into a [...]

Answer: What wine goes with eggs?

What wine goes with eggs?
That question was actually the title of a song from The Intelligence that my brother sprung on me. It was a fun little exchange, but I wasn’t that satisfied by my answers. I never conducted the proper research to find out what could work.
Well, when I made that souffle last week, [...]

Soufflé

And I thought this was supposed to be difficult. It was my first time making this and it was quite easy. I’ve actually made it a couple of times now. Of course, a traditionally French dish has to be made using a recipe from a French chef. So I picked the most eccentric looking one. [...]

Duck Eggs

Eggs are eggs, right? They come in boxes from the store. Your varieties basically boil down to two choices, a dozen or a half dozen. (Preferably the salmonella-less ones in the news.)
Well actually, there are plenty of choices: cage-free, pasteurized, organic, etc. But many people don’t pay attention to what they buy. I’ve been a [...]

Q&A: What Wine Goes With Eggs?

William and Alistair humor each other:
me: what wine goes with eggs?
William: what is going in the eggs?
i don’t know that a wine is that terrific with just eggs, i’d say a very dry white, or a mild, not sweet red without too much body
like a merlot in the US… maybe a cote du rhone in [...]

Scrambled Eggs

Glad to be back after a school related lapse.  I will be continuing my trek through the Good Eats episodes with scrambled eggs from the first Egg Files episode.  After going through life with mediocre scrambled eggs, I jumped at the opportunity to try a recipe different from my parents’ recipe.  As it turns out, [...]

Don’t Fold It, Roll It

I don’t know where I got the first idea to roll an omelette instead of just folding it, but I’m pretty sure it’s been done before. I like to pretend I’m the first person to discover it as this was just something I lazily figured out Sunday morning as I was cooking some eggs.
My original [...]

hip hop & eggs

The newest hip hop & eggs came out a few days ago and I have been slack about telling you about it. They talk hip hop and make some eggs, what’s not to like? Also, fans of Deep Blue Sea will be thrilled to hear that they asked LL Cool J when Deep Blue Sea 2 [...]
