Mr Google has only given me mostly fried, boiled, poached or scrambled.  Looking for something a different, that maybe our fellow GNs have tried.  Mr Google does not have all the answers.

Any other more positive replies would be appreciated.

What about quiche, frittata or bread n butter ppudding? Is 1 duck egg about the same volume as 2 chook eggs? If so surely they would be interchangeable. Is that of any help? Then you can use your regular recipes. 

Maybe banana pancakes -- mash 1 banana, beat in 2 chook eggs or try 1 duck egg in this case.

Spray pan with nonstick spray, add butter, tip in mixture. Sprinkle with dry fruit n nuts or choc chips. Cook gently. Serve with yoghurt,  cream or icecream. Soooo yummy.

See photo.

Thanks Panther, the pancake sounds like a goer. might try it tonight with some greek honey yoghurt.  Have also thought about frittata. We make lots of them to take on picnics.

Ok, we bit the bullet tonight, and made Duck Egg pancake, but I would prefer to call them Duck Egg Omelette.  As per Panther's suggestion, we mashed a banana and mixed it with one duck egg,  and pan fried it.  Turned out like an omelette, which Mr D had with Greek Honey Yoghurt.  I mixed my egg with a couple tablespoons of stewed apple and some cinnamon, cooked as above and served with ice cream.  Yum

Maybe next I will try a frittata.

 

MMM, no need for a new duck down doona - all good and warm in the housel smile

Glad you gave the pancakes a go. If not sweet enough drizzle with honey/maple syrup /golden syrup or add artificial sweetner or dried fruit or brown sugar to recipe.

Here's another idea.

Broccoli, Pine Nut & Fetta Fritters.

Use cooked broccoli, chop and paper towel dry. Add to beaten eggs. Toast pine nuts and add. Toss in crumbled Fetta, garlic, vegie stock powder, pepper and a little flour or oat bran to reduce wetness.  Fry, drain and serve with lemon.

You could always try something completely different. Salted duck eggs are a delicacy in China and taste equally as nice in Australia.

Start with 12 duck eggs. Wash the shells of all the crap. The brine will soak through the egg sheels so it is important that the shells are clean. Make a brine of 1 cup of sea salt and 4 cups of boiling water. Dissolve salt and allow to cool.

Place the eggs into a suitable jar and pour over the brine, ensuring the eggs are completely covered. A plastic bag with fresh water sealed in and sat on top of the jar will stop them floating to the top. It is most important to keep the eggs totally immersed in the brine. Place lid on the jar and sit on the counter top for, at least, 30 days, making sure they are not in direct sunlight. A tablespoon of Shaoxing wine and a star anise and a couple of Sichuan peppercorns can be added to the brine if you want. Another method is to add a favourite teabag for an infusion flavour.

Test after 30 days by boiling one egg for 15 minutes. Cut in half and examine yolk. The white will be really salty but the yolk less so, and they can be eaten with plain rice or congee. Congee is rice that has been cooked until it is the consistency of gruel. Very popular as a breakfast dish in China. Recipes can be found on the Internet.

There are many ways to eat the eggs but one of the best is diced and mixed with tofu and a sprinkle of sesame oil. Another is to slice or chop a couple of tomatoes and do the same with a couple of eggs. Yolk and white and tomato mixed together will ensure an even saltiness.

Store the eggs raw, or cooked, in the fridge.

My mouth is watering.

Thanks for that Phantom, might give that a try as well.  I know there is a woman in Bright somewhere who preserves them, perhaps this is what she does.
