Recently a friend gave me two dozen eggs from her homegrown chickens. Since farm fresh eggs are one of life's little pleasures, I didn't want to waste any part of these eggs. I also wanted to do more with the eggs than eat them fried.
I wound up preparing a pavlova, a dessert that requires egg whites to create a fluffy and marshmallowy meringue. However, I couldn't throw away the precious yolks, so I came up with five ways to use them. Find out what they are after the break.
Last weekend my friends Emily and Krys came to stay with me. Emily and Krys live on an amazing little farm in Petaluma, CA, and among other things, they raise their own chickens. As a hostess gift, they brought me two dozen eggs, freshly picked from their coops. We enjoyed the wonderful eggs each morning, and now that I've had farm fresh eggs, I never want to go back to their store-bought counterparts — especially after doing a yolk comparison! Doesn't the vibrant orange yolk (farm fresh) look more appetizing than the sickly pale yellow yolk (store bought)? How about you: what kind of eggs do you enjoy?
