Eggs

The wonderful world of Eggs.  Can you come up with dishes that primarily use eggs?  The well-known dishes are soufflé, omelets, seafood pancake, deviled eggs, eggs benedict, hard and soft boiled eggs, scotch eggs, tea eggs, over-easy eggs, sunny-side-up and scrambled eggs, do Easter Eggs count?, egg salads, egg casseroles, kimchi eggs, egg and biscuit sandwiches.

Eggs are used as binders, emulsifiers, glazers and fillers, for décor and probably a whole range of other uses.  As binders, think about using eggs in a meatloaf or salmon croquette or pudding.  As emulsifiers they work well in smoothies.  As glazers, think about brushing a turkey, bread or pie crust with this incredible ingredient to produce a glaze that makes it shine with a beautiful golden brown coating.  And as fillers they work especially well in sandwiches, salads.

I am really not allergic to any food except eggs.  ikr (I know right)!  I love eggs, they just don't love me back.  I have to over-compensate with lots of onions, peppers, and other veggies and sometimes a protein like sausage or bacon when eating scrambled eggs and omelettes.  Never ever runny eggs, and those are my favorites.  Sunnyside up eggs, eggs over-easy, anything with a runny or creamy yolk is sure to send me running to pray to the porcelain god and violently.  Like, my body tries to so frantically get rid of the substance that it tries to get rid of everything in me, the common-sense to stop regurgitating when the substance has been totally and completely heaved up doesn't happen.  That connection between my body and my brain is completely off.  But, I can eat boiled eggs with no problem at all.  I can eat eggs cooked in a recipe like a cake or something.  French toast just gives me minor irritation.  I absolutely love Easter eggs, I think it may be the dye because to me they taste better than regular boiled eggs.  I think other people feel the same because at church it can become a real handful keeping adults from stealing the eggs from the kids and each other.  It could be worse, I could be allergic to shellfish/seafood.  Now THAT is where I draw the line!  Lol!!
