Egg-cellent ideas with chilled liquid eggs

By Jeanne Calitz, 19 October 2006

If you’ve ever stood at the kitchen counter cracking egg after egg, separating whites from yolks and fishing out stray shell fragments, Woolies has just made your life significantly easier. The new liquid egg range is here.

You know that saying "You can't make an omelette without cracking some eggs"? Well, it turns out you can, with Woolies' range of chilled liquid eggs. And when it comes to all your favourite egg-rich recipes, liquid eggs are, in fact, a game-changer.

No messy cracking of eggs, no fishing tiny bits of shell out of the mixing bowl (we've all been there), no spilled egg white dripping down the counter. Just a bit of measuring and there you go – talk about convenience. Added to that, Woolies' chilled eggs are all free-range and naturally high in protein, which makes them ideal for anyone wanting to add more protein to their diet. And you've got quite a few options to work with: whole eggs, egg whites only and egg yolks only.

Start experimenting and you'll soon see that the liquid whole eggs are a game-changer in the savoury meal and snack departments. Whether you're whipping up a creamy omelette, going all out with a leek-and-potato frittata or preparing a quiche, it's just so much easier with liquid eggs on hand. And if you're doing a bit of meal prep? Follow Brittany's clever example and try your hand at making egg cups three ways for a protein-rich, on-the-go snack for busy days.

Pizza, Greek salad and peri-peri sunshine. Liquid egg whites and liquid whole eggs whisked into one base, split three ways and baked into eighteen high-protein cups that'll sort your lunchbox for the week.

As for baking or sweet treats, the liquid egg whites are about to become your new best friend. Planning a showstopping pavlova for your next summer gathering? No problem. Or perhaps you're dreaming of a Christmas trifle with a proper Italian meringue this year? Get yourself to the chilled eggs section. On the other hand, if you're in the mood to make fresh custard (always a good idea) or something else that requires a lot of egg yolks, like these pasteis de nata, then liquid egg yolks are just what your fridge needs.
