BEFORE COOKING:

We thoroughly wash ostrich eggs with cold water.

COOKING:

We place the ostrich eggs into cold water. Boil for 45 minutes for soft-boiled or 60–70 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. We start timing from the moment the water reaches a boil. We salt the water to prevent the shells from cracking.

AFTER COOKING:

To make peeling easier, after boiling, we rinse the eggs with cold water and let them sit for 3–4 minutes.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Boiled eggs are great for various spreads for sandwiches, salads, and broths. Hard-boiled eggs can also be stuffed with ham, tuna, salmon, mushrooms, and many other ingredients.

Enjoy your meal!
