Eggs are the most versatile source of protein. They can be fried, poached, sauted, baked, steamed, hard or soft boiled, scrambled, basted, or made into omelettes. Some people pop an egg in the microwave to make a quick hard-boiled egg. It’s a good idea to have some hard-boiled eggs in the fridge to quickly slice up and eat on toast. They’re used in baking, of course, as liason (a binder) in some sauces, used in Swedish egg coffee to clarify the coffee, sharpening the taste. Use an egg wash on pastries or bread that you want to brown off. It’s used in a breading station for meats or as binder in meatballs and meatloaf.
The Biker Chef is a skilled, one handed egg cracker.
He can flip the eggs with a toss of the pan. One time, he flipped 18 eggs at once while cooking for Andre’ the Giant at the Sofitel. That stunt won him a case of beer!
And, they’re fun to color at Easter!
Deviled Eggs Recipe from the Biker Chef who has done up to 10 dozen eggs for big banquets and Easter brunches.
For a dozen eggs:
Bring your water to a boil, add your eggs very gently to the boiling water for about 14 minutes. Cool down your eggs by draining off the hot water, running cold water over them, or adding ice to them in a bowl to cool them down as quickly as possible.
Peeling the eggs under cold, running water makes it easier. Cut them in half, take out the golden yolks and put them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork or potato masher, add
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp. of granulated garlic
2 tsp. of Dijon mustard
1/2 cup, or so, of Miracle Whip to achieve a creamy texture
1 tsp. fresh ground horse radish
Mix well and spoon it into the egg whites. You can also put the yolk mixture into a ziploc baggie, seal the top, cut a corner off the bottom and pipe it into the whites.
Garnish with paprika, olives, fresh dill, pimentos, or anything else that makes your eggs look festive.
I LOVE EGGS! ok i really do though and WHAT?!? you can make a hard boiled egg by putting it in the microwave? do tell!! I don’t just color eggs like many I make cascarones or confetti eggs but that comes from my mexican heritage. If you want to know how to make those I can share it. I love this post on eggs good job!

Yes. I’m not sure how long, but you can look it up.
Thanks for sharing the recipe, Mary. Love the picture of the Biker Chef. MMM good. Makes me hungry.
I actually had boiled eggs for lunch just two days ago. It wasn’t very filling, but it was delicious. What would we do without the amazing, versatile egg?
Eggs are my fave! Keep me full all morning. 🙂
At Easter here in Greece the shells of hard-boiled eggs are dyed red. You smash your egg against someone else’s and whoever has the unbroken egg should get good luck. Sounds plausible to me.
The egg-flipping photo is really cool. I’m a fan of eggs, too; been eating a lot of them lately on my lower-carb eating plan. And deviled eggs, yum! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for visiting, Roxane. I’ll make you eggs next time you come to my house, or if we’re ever on a retreat together again!
Eggs are my go to meal choice when we want something different. I love making omelets for dinner. My kids loved Andre. What memories…
Andre, was a big man with an enormous appetite. The Biker Chef enjoyed cooking for him!
Eggs are my favorites breakfast food!
Love your recipe!
AND WOW! Andre The Giant?! And flipping eggs? Does he break the yokes when he does that?

Most of the time, he doesn’t break any. He’s that talented.
Have you ever hear of a Scottish Egg? I hadn’t until my daughter became involved with a Renaissance Faire that was having a Scottish Theme. Google it.
Yes, I had my first Scottish egg at the RenFest in Minnesota!
I LOVE deviled eggs. Why don’t I make them more??
