help me hide an egg from myself
19 Answers
I don't like eggs in any way, shape or form. Still I'd like to be able to eat them as I'm a vegetarian and I know they've got a lot of what I need. Would be grateful for any ideas on how to camouflage them from myself. Ideally I don't want to recognise even how they look, but above all I don't want to be able to identify the taste and the *shudders* aftertaste.

Omelette - with onion, mushrooms and cooked potato, then strong cheddar and finish off under the grill until very well cooked.
Quiche - as golly says, strong cheese and either plain yoghurt or cream, also add lots of cooked veg.
Cheese & potato pie - place layers of cooked seasoned potato, grated cheese and chopped onion in a greased baking dish, then pour one beaten egg over and bake in a hot oven for half an hour.
French toast - beat up the eggs, add some black pepper (no salt) and dip thick slices of bread quickly into the egg. Fry until golden brown, drain onto kitchen paper and then smother with light soya sauce (which is salty in itself). I tend to use wholewheat bread for this, as I like the nutty stronger taste.
You can also use eggs in cakes - no eggy taste at all then !

Thanks golly and Jugglering, you've both come up with actually quite non-revolting suggestions. I had to smile at Jugglering disliking the eggy taste of eggs - that's exactly how I feel. Completely unreasonable, ha ha. The concept of combining eggs and soy sauce is entirely new to me. When you say light soy sauce, would that be shoyu, the Japanese kind?
I'm a bit hungry now...

What about using egg to bind beefburgers. I use about 500g of mince I imagine you could use quorn mince, a stock cube about two slices of bread made into breadcrumbs and squidge it all together. This can also be used for meatloaf and meatballs. I'm interested to know why you feel you have to eat eggs? Vegan manage quite well without eating any animal products whatsoever.
I love eggs!!
how about stirred into cooked rice, like egg-fried rice? you don't have to fry it but you do have to cook for a couple of extra minutes whist stirring.
I also add an egg to cooked soup for the same effect, but this really only works in clear soups. just drop it in to the pan when it's ready and give it a good stir.

*drowning in eggs* That's true, bimbo, and I do use egg as a binder but I don't make that kind of food too often, and (boiled) eggs make for very practical food so I was interested to find more recipes. Nutritionally there's for instance the B12 for vegetarians, but I do believe eggs are good for anyone. Here, I found a list. Egg-fried rice sounds interesting, sara and bensmum, I'm googling for recipes right now. And I lurv spinach!
Hi again Swedeheart... I have no idea what other names light soy sauce goes under... one used to be able to only get one type - called soy sauce - but then I started noticing dark soy sauce and light soy sauce.... tried both and found I preferred the light soy sauce taste - it wasn't as salty or as rich as the dark one...
How about egg mayo - hardboil some eggs, allow to cool, then peel and mash up with some mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Lovely served up with crunchy iceberg lettuce on wholewheat bread.
You could start making your own mayonnaise - that uses eggs too ! I make mine up in the food processor or blender - too much like hard work to do it by hand with a balloon whisk.
A nice variation on potato salad is to add a well chopped hardboiled egg to the still warm cooked new potatoes, as well as finely chopped spring onions, mayonnaise and chives and mix well.
