How to cook an
Ostrich egg:
The season for fresh ostrich eggs in Ontario is
from April to September. As most Ostrich Farmers incubate the eggs, it is best
to call ahead to the farm of your choice to reserve a fresh egg.
To keep the shell for painting, drill a 1/4 inch
hole and shake contents out...great for scrambled eggs keeping in mind that an
average Ostrich egg is worth 24 chicken eggs. Use any recipe that you would
normally use.
Some people like the idea of no antibiotics or
growth hormones, so will do the above and put the mixed egg ( uncooked ) into
ice cube trays, cover with saran wrap and freeze. Use two cubes for one egg
in recipes.
If you want to do an " over easy" egg, make sure
your pan is large enough!. Take a small hammer and crack the egg, than put in
pan, cover and cook from 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on heat.
ENJOY!
