How to Cook Duck Eggs
Description
This recipe explains basic methods to cook duck eggs using butter in a frying pan. First, melt butter over medium-high heat and crack duck eggs into the pan. To cook eggs sunny-side up with soft, runny yolks, steam them by adding water and covering the pan to cook the top without flipping, preventing yolk breakage. Alternatively, cook until fully set if preferred.
To scramble, melt butter, add cracked eggs, and stir while cooking to desired doneness. Duck eggs have larger yolks and richer flavor than chicken eggs, which may influence cooking time and texture slightly but generally cook similarly.
Ingredients
- 4 Duck Egg
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Crack the duck eggs into the pan. Cook like you would chicken eggs, frying the bottoms up. If wanted, steam them by adding 2 tablespoons of water to the pan and placing a lid on top. I find that this cooks the top of the eggs without having to actually flip them over, thus you won't break the yolk.
- Steam the eggs until the tops are white colored but the yolk is still wobbly enough to dip toast in. Alternately you can cook them until well done if you don't like yolky eggs.
- IF you want to scramble them, melt the butter then add in the cracked duck eggs. Mix and cook until done.
