For my birthday this year I was the lucky recipient of 10 eggs. Below is the report on the consumption of the first four courtesy of my brother's chickens.
Three little eggs
Hatched on 15 June by Bird & Oates' Chicks, eaten on 19 June.
Cooking; under 90 seconds, no vinegar, a little swirl, small saucepan
Taste; very mild, delicious.
Pop; eaten quickly to ensure uniform perfection
- toast, wiped with garlic. A little bit of thyme olive oil, lightly grilled tomatoes. 3 poached eggs. I was a bit hungover, this hit the spot.
One big egg
Hatched on 16 June by Bird & Oates' Chicks, eaten on 24 June
Cooking; approx 2 minutes, a little rice wine vinegar, bigger saucepan (than the three little eggs), swirl made with a whisk (because the eggs are fresh, the white forms around the yellow really well)
Taste; quite mild, big yolk though to aid operation muffin mop-up
Pop; perfect, white just cooked slightly under-done.
- english muffin w/wilted spinach, cooked in garlic, lemon &
parmesan, poached egg topped with hollandaise sauce accompanied with
coffee from my new stovetop coffee maker. Sunday mornings don't get better than this.
