How to Cook Goose Eggs

Goose eggs can be intimidating because most of us aren't used to them. But it's good to experiment, so if you're touring a farm and find some goose eggs for sale, give them a try. You might enjoy a slightly different rendition of the traditional omelet. Goose eggs have a higher fat content than chicken eggs-- which makes for creamy scrambled eggs and omelets--but they don't tend to work well for frying.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:
  • 1 tsp. vegetable oil Pinch of salt and pepper 1 tbsp. fresh herbs 2 tbsp. shredded cheese
  • 1 tsp. vegetable oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp. fresh herbs
  • 2 tbsp. shredded cheese
Step 1
Crack one goose egg into a mixing bowl and whisk with a pinch salt and pepper until blended. You can add a little milk or water to thin if you like. One goose egg is equal to two regular-sized chicken eggs, so one should be plenty for an omelet.
Step 2
Heat a lightly oiled saute pan on low to medium heat.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and turn down the heat to a low setting. Due to the density of goose eggs, they'll take slightly longer to cook than chicken eggs. Using a low heat prevents the egg from burning.
Step 4
Cook the egg until it becomes fluffy. Add a little cheese, herbs or meat onto the egg and fold for an omelet.
Step 5
Remove the omelet from the heat and serve immediately.

Tips & Warnings

 
For scrambled eggs, continue to whisk the egg while it cooks on a medium heat. For a hard-boiled egg; boil in lightly salted water for 10 to 15 minutes.
