What do you use Duck eggs for? I have made a cake and frosting with them but do you have any good ideas on what else to make with them. Or anyway to use them?

Traditionally Duck Eggs were used for baking (especially in French cooking) as they have a higher protein and fat level than chicken eggs, hence their richer flavor. However, that said, we use them just like we use chicken eggs.

when we had ducks we used the eggs for anything we'd use chicken eggs for. I LOVED the duck eggs and they were SO much bigger!

I need some seed money to get going and buy ducklings and put together a fence :( I just found out there's a farmers market that targets to the more pretentious hobby chef crowd (translation, too much money, too much time!) that would be a perfect venue for duck eggs.

Thank you so much. Looks like I am doing some baking tomorrow. Jen-Duck eggs around here go for 5.00 a dozen. Makes good sense to sell them if you can.

You can use them just like you use chicken eggs, the flavor is just richer. I guesstimate that 1 large duck egg = 2 medium chicken eggs.
Duck eggs are supposedly the superior egg for people with diabetes and autism (can't remember why at the moment)but I'm planning to raise egg ducks instead of chickens for a sell-able egg crop. Too much competition for farm fresh chicken eggs around but the duck egg market is untapped. French style cooking favors duck eggs too!

they make great omletts and scrambled eggs, pancakes,just remember they are usually larger than chicken eggs, and way richer...
