About This Article
Liquid eggs are blended whole eggs that usually have citric acid added to help preserve the color. They have the same flavor as whole eggs but may have a thicker texture. A quarter cup of liquid eggs is equivalent to one egg. To cook liquid eggs, try replacing whole eggs in a recipe. For example, if your recipe calls for 3 eggs, use 3⁄4 cup (180 ml) of liquid eggs. You can use liquid eggs in a frittata, to coat french toast before cooking, or to make a large batch of scrambled eggs. Keep liquid eggs in the fridge and use the opened package within 3 days.
