No new eggs in the coop this morn, so I decided to go ahead and make me some scrambled eggs with the two guinea eggs we had already gathered. Not sure if you can tell in the photo, but the eggs are quite thick-shelled -- I had a hard time getting the crack started. The yolks are really golden colored. They scrambled up nice, I added a little cheese, and voila ~ guinea eggs for breakfast.
I did not discern any different taste from a chicken egg. I also can't say that they had infinitely better taste than store-bought eggs?! (sorry!) Perhaps I detected a very infinitesimal, slightly more fresh taste?
Maybe if I make them plain next time, no cheese or pepper or salt.
At any rate, I figure they've got to be healthier for me than store-bought eggs, loaded with lots of nutrients!!
Healthier is exactly what my husband pointed out.
ReplyDeleteYou are so food adventurous. Happy guinea egg hunting.
ReplyDeleteeggs is eggs :)
ReplyDeleteYour eggs are healthier and home-grown and it doesn't get any better than that! Here in Suburbia, I've no other option but to buy mine from the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteDespite the lack of taste difference, you're right about being able to tell that they're fresh. Whenever I go to Spain we have fresh eggs and they ALWAYS taste nicer!
ReplyDeleteI'll have my scrambled on poppy seed toast please =D
You know where they came from and I think that's the best of all! Congrats!!

Hello Susan!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness...I've never had a Guinea egg before but the yolk looks very much like a fresh chicken egg. I see what you mean about the shells too...they are very thick! I'm sure it won't be long before you're getting chicken eggs...I remember how exciting it was when we got our first one. I think I have a picture of it in the frying pan...it was about the size of a quarter. Anyway...enjoy your fresh eggs!

Absolutely healthier. How fun you must have with these new things to try.Chickens. I love it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely healthier than shop bought ones. Our 'home made' chicken eggs do taste better than shop bought eggs. They even taste better than the eggs our neighbour's chickens lay. It depends on what you feed them.
ReplyDeleteGotta be healthier than store bought and should be richer than chicken eggs.
ReplyDeleteAn egg is and egg is an egg...
Have a beautiful day sweetie filled with warm fuzzy blessings!!!
