Pasture‑Raised • 1 Dozen

Rich, creamy, and nutritionally packed—our pasture‑raised duck eggs bring extra depth to both savory and sweet dishes.

Health Benefits:

• Higher in Protein & Healthy Fats: More yolk per egg means extra protein, omega‑3s, and vitamin D.
• Vitamin & Mineral Booster: Excellent source of B12, choline, selenium, and zinc for brain, heart, and immune support.
• Easier on Sensitive Stomachs: Thicker membranes can be gentler for those with egg sensitivities.

Versatile Uses:

• Baking: Superior richness makes cakes, pastries, and brioche fluffier and more tender.
• Cooking: Ideal for custards, quiches, omelets, and frittatas—yolks stay silky.
• Pickling & Preserving: Firm whites and sturdy yolks hold up beautifully when pickled.

Recipe Ideas:

1. Herb‑Folded Frittata: Whisk 6 duck eggs with chives, thyme, and goat cheese; bake until puffy and golden.
2. Classic Carbonara: Swap in duck eggs for velvety, indulgent pasta sauce (no cream needed!).
3. Decadent Custard Tart: Use duck yolks for a luxuriously smooth vanilla or chocolate filling.
4. Pickled Duck Eggs: Simmer peeled eggs in vinegar brine with spices for an elevated snack.
