For eggs that won’t crack so easily when you boil them, try using room temperature eggs. Gently simmer, don’t boil rapidly.
The best way to scoop it out is with… yup, an eggshell.
For perfect poachies, use super fresh eggs. Gently simmer about 10cm of water in a deep pan and add a splash of white wine vinegar. Break each egg into a cup and pour slowly into the water, white first.
Leftover egg white can be added to omelette, scrambled eggs etc.
Hard cooked eggs can be difficult to peel if they’re too fresh. Fresh eggs are best poached, fried or soft cooked.
Eggs keep fresher in the fridge. Allow eggs to come to room temperature before baking with them.
4 x Cottage Lane Tortillas
16 x Frenz Free Range Eggs
300g cooked sausage or kransky
250g bacon
100g mushrooms, cooked
250g cooked potato
1 tomato
100g grated cheese
seasoning
Butter a "clip side" cake tin. Place a Cottage Lane tortilla in the base with edges evenly up the side, cut sausages into pieces and place inside. Crack in 6 Frenz Eggs, break yolks, season and add another Cottage Lane Tortilla (gently flattening out). Slice potatoes and place on stack, crack in another 5 Frenz Eggs, break yolks & season. Add another Cottage Lane tortilla, then the bacon and crack in the remaining Frenz Eggs, season and top with mushrooms and cover with the last Cottage Lane Tortilla. Trim off excess tortilla edge to fit tin if needed.
Place sliced tomato on top, sprinkle with cheese and bake for 60-80 minutes at 170 degrees until the egg is cooked. Leave for 10 minutes, remove from tin, cut into portions and serve! Great with hash browns and grilled tomatoes. Serves 6-8.

6 Frenz Organic Free Range Egg Whites, at room temperature
Pinch of Salt
1 ½ cups Caster Sugar
2 tsp Cornflour
1 tsp Vinegar
TOPPING:
Lewis Road Creamery Organic Single Cream
Fresh Berries to serve
Berry Compote to serve (optional)
Heat the oven to 180°C (not fanbake). Line a baking tray with baking paper and mark a circle about 16cm diameter with a plate. Place the egg whites into the clean bowl of an electric beater. Add the salt and beat until stiff. Slowly add the sugar with the beater running. Beat for about 10 minutes at high speed until the meringue is thick and glossy – it should be thick enough not to fall from the beater. Last of all, whisk in the cornflour and vinegar. Use a big spoon to drop dollops of meringue into the circled area of baking paper. Form into a circle of meringue, making swirls with the spoon on the top rather than flattening to a neat tidy disc. Bake at 180°C for 5 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 130°C and cook a further hour. Turn off oven and leave pavlova to cool in the oven. Dollop whipped Lewis Road Creamery Organic Single Cream, drizzle with berry compote and top with fresh berries…then decide whether to share!
