Day 131 - Eggs: Straight From the Bird (no stops along the way)

Tonight I cooked with eggs straight off the farm. Recently I was talking with Quinn's aunt Gina who lives just outside Kansas City on a big piece of land. Over the last few months they have been raising chickens and getting a good amount of eggs from them. I expressed that I was interested in getting some, if they ever had any extras.

Well, we were all together for a family function the other day she brought us a dozen perfect farm fresh eggs.

Tonight, we had a bunch of left overs from the weekend so I decided to make a frittata(I have been hooked on these ever since I made my first on, back on Day 48) using the farm fresh eggs.

I was curious to see in I noticed any major differences. The one thing that was different was the eggs from Quinn's Aunt & Uncles chickens were much darker & pointier the the store bought farm eggs we usually buy. I had a couple store bought eggs still and compared the 2 side-by-side

I noticed other little things too (only because I was paying really close attention). One thing was the farm fresh eggs cracked open so easily - it was like they were more crisp (if that even makes sense) And the yolks also seemed more orangy than the eggs we usually use.

The frittata turned our great. Thanks Gina & David for sharing your eggs :)
