Even though they're super simple to use, you might have a few questions. Read the most common concerns and you'll be all set to cook!

   You can make anything that you usually use eggs for! Liquid eggs are great for omelettes—just pour as much as you like into a preheated skillet. Keep in mind that ¹⁄₄ cup (59 ml) of liquid eggs equals 1 whole egg. Add any fillings you want, like sliced mushrooms, cheese, or spinach, and flip the omelette once it's set.^[4]

   Stir liquid eggs in a skillet on the stove to make scrambled eggs. Heat a little butter or oil in a skillet and pour in liquid eggs once the pan is hot. Then, gently stir the eggs so they break into clumps while they cook. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top just before you serve them.

   Dip pieces of bread into liquid egg whites to cook tasty french toast. To make 8 big pieces of french toast, pour 1 1⁄2 cups (350 ml) of liquid eggs into a shallow dish and whisk in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of milk. If you want to flavor this base, whisk in 3/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) of cinnamon. Then, dip both sides of your bread into the custard and cook them on a griddle or in a skillet.^[5]

   Stir in your favorite spices to boost the flavor. Liquid eggs can be a little boring on their own, especially since they don't have salt or pepper added. Whisk spices like cumin, paprika, seasoned salt, or taco seasoning into the liquid eggs and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor before you cook them.^[7]

   • Want creamier eggs? Whisk ¹⁄₃ cup (79 ml) of milk or cream into the eggs along with the salt and pepper.

   Add hot sauce if you want spicy eggs. Try adding a few squirts of hot sauce like Tabasco or sriracha sauce. Fresh red salsa, salsa verde, tomatillo sauce, and spicy adobo sauce are also fantastic in liquid eggs.^[8]

   • You don't need to let the eggs absorb the liquid seasonings—just stir them in and you're ready to cook!

• If you're using powdered seasonings like cumin or curry powder, whisk it into the liquid eggs and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to develop the flavor.^[10]

• If you've got cartons of frozen liquid eggs, thaw the unopened containers in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. ^[11]

About This Article

Article Summary X

Liquid eggs are blended whole eggs that usually have citric acid added to help preserve the color. They have the same flavor as whole eggs but may have a thicker texture. A quarter cup of liquid eggs is equivalent to one egg. To cook liquid eggs, try replacing whole eggs in a recipe. For example, if your recipe calls for 3 eggs, use 3⁄4 cup (180 ml) of liquid eggs. You can use liquid eggs in a frittata, to coat french toast before cooking, or to make a large batch of scrambled eggs. Keep liquid eggs in the fridge and use the opened package within 3 days.
