Duck and Goose eggs... suggestions?

[d000hg]

Just been given some and I don't want to waste them cooking in the 'wrong' way - never tried either before although I love eggs generally.

What're the best ways to cook each type? I have 5 quite large white duck eggs, 1 small (size of a regular chicken egg) pale blue duck egg, and two massive goose eggs.

Which definition are you going with?

Urban Dictionary: goose egg

I was discussing this just the other day (no, really, I was)

I was told that duck and goose eggs are great for baking cakes, but too rich to eat on their own, e.g. boiled, scrambled

but too rich to eat on their own

You're correct, for the plebeians.

[vetran]

If you serve them on very large plates, with large strips of thinly cut pork joint and massive mushrooms, for tomorrow's breakfast fryup, you could pretend you are shrinking!

Other than that, I'm not sure, I've never cooked them.

I must be a pleb then because I was very ill the day after eating a goose egg.

There was nothing wrong with it and it didn't hit me until the following morning but I was on a company awayday (I was permie then) and I had to sit in a corner and look green. I didn't get to play any games or tuck into the company's rather nice buffet and free booze..

Today I went for simply scrambling a couple of duck eggs slowly in a saucepan with butter and a splash of milk. I'm not a big fan of the "posh chef" version of scrambled eggs where you basically pour them onto the plate as a half-cooked slop, but cooking slowly is definitely good.

I'll probably try poaching next... thinking I might save the goose eggs for soft-boiling.

Simple omelette is nice, one goose egg will happily make an omelette for two people or is are very good for baking sponge cakes, but as cojak says, they are incredibly rich.

Poached duck eggs go well with asparagus.
