Duck Egg Salad

[columbiacritter]

They were a total pain to peel but probably made the best creamiest egg salad I've ever eaten. Of course there was so much yolk it would be darn hard not to make creamy egg salad. I'm definitely using duck eggs for alllllllll my egg salad sandwiches from now on.

Was just wonering what to do with my duck eggs and we love egg salad. You are right, for whatever reason, duck eggs are hard to peal.

All fresh eggs are hard to peel, but I'm not willing to hold onto eggs for weeks until they dry up enough to peel easy.

I took my egg slada to work to share with a couple coworkers. One had brought an egg salad sandwich from home and comparing them just made hers look gross.

She saved hers for her dog and ate my offering.

I think I hear duck egg salad calling me!

The sandwich is way worth the extra work in peeling.
If you are very patient, devilled duck and goose eggs are yummy, too and quite a conversation piece at gatherings!

Do duck eggs taste different? I love egg salad and have some killer recipes that I have created but have never tried duck eggs . . .

If you are used to eating REAL farm eggs that taste like eggs there's not much taste difference. The differences are in the yolk, which is much larger so you get a richer egg and lower water content so even the whites are richer. They cook faster than chicken eggs because of the low water content so you have to cook them less.

My neighbor says they are tooooo rich for him to eat straight. I use 1/2 chicken 1/2 duck for the BEST scrambled eggs or omelets. Pure duck can just be to much sometimes.
