WHERE TO USE THE EGG STRINGS
When we think about egg threads: how to make them and where to use them, sometimes it seems that there is a lack of ideas beyond the typical egg lamprey or simply placing them in a bowl on the dessert table. But egg yarn is much more versatile than you might think! Here are some tips on possible uses.
Decorate pies and cakes
You know that almond pie or walnut cake you always make for parties? Take the opportunity to place them in a very simple dish, white or transparent, preferably; the egg strands do the rest of the work (and the sparkle)!
garnish the pudding
Egg pudding is another classic on Portuguese tables. After taking it out of the mold, put strings of eggs in the pudding hole and flanking it. You can also add some pearls and sugar and the result is truly phenomenal!
sprinkle eclairs
You can even buy the eclairs done. But take care of the presentation! Is someone coming to your house for coffee? Serve these mini delights on a platter with soft eggs on top. It will be a real success.
garnish the roast turkey
Yes it’s true! Egg strands don’t just serve sweet purposes! Try putting a handful of these threads around the platter where the roasted ham is served, along with orange slices, for example.
They will bring a fantastic color to the dish. And even if the guests eat them, the sweet/salty mixture will be quite interesting!
Wrap the soft eggs
Finally, as a last usage tip is a possibility that may seem obvious but is not used very often. If in your house it is customary to present soft eggs at party tables, place them wrapped in egg threads. In addition to being delicious, it creates a very funny gastronomic environment.
