NO ICE CREAM! Keep eggs whole for MONTHS!! The most delicious egg recipe!

By Lesia

It sounds like you’re describing a method of preserving eggs, likely in a solution that allows them to remain edible for an extended period without refrigeration, and then using those preserved eggs in a delicious recipe. Here’s a breakdown of egg preservation methods and a likely delicious egg recipe:

Egg Preservation Methods (No Ice Cream, Long Storage):

  • Waterglass (Calcium Hydroxide):
    • This is a traditional method where eggs are submerged in a solution of calcium hydroxide (lime water).
    • The lime seals the egg’s pores, preventing bacterial growth and moisture loss.
    • Eggs preserved this way can last for months.  
  • Mineral Oil:
    • Coating eggs with mineral oil seals the pores and prevents spoilage.  
    • This method is less effective than waterglass but still extends shelf life.

Important Notes on Preservation:

  • Use fresh, unwashed eggs for preservation.
  • Cracked or dirty eggs should not be preserved.
  • Preserved eggs may have a slightly different texture and taste than fresh eggs.  

Delicious Egg Recipe (Using Preserved or Fresh Eggs):

A frittata is an excellent and versatile egg dish that can be adapted to many tastes.  

Frittata Recipe:

  • Ingredients:
    • 6-8 eggs (preserved or fresh)
    • 1/2 cup milk or cream
    • 1/2 onion, chopped
    • 1 bell pepper, chopped
    • 1 cup spinach or other greens, chopped
    • 1 cup cooked ham, sausage, or bacon, chopped (optional)
    • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)  
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Olive oil
  • Instructions:
    1. Prepare the Vegetables:
      • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
      • Sauté the onion and bell pepper until softened.
      • Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
      • If using meat, add it to the pan and cook until browned.
    2. Prepare the Eggs:
      • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper.
    3. Assemble the Frittata:
      • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables and meat.
      • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
    4. Cook the Frittata:
      • Cook on the stovetop over low heat for about 5-10 minutes, until the edges are set.
      • Preheat the oven’s broiler.
      • Place the pan into the oven under the broiler until the top of the frittata is golden brown, and the center is set. This might take 3-5 minutes.
      • Alternatively, cook the frittata fully on the stovetop, covered, over low heat.
    5. Serve:
      • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Variations:

  • Add different vegetables, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini.
  • Use different cheeses, such as feta or goat cheese.
  • Add fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or basil.  

This frittata recipe is delicious and can be adapted to use eggs preserved with the methods mentioned earlier.
