How to Use It
For Scrambled Eggs or Omelets:
Whisk 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice per 2 eggs before cooking. You’ll notice fluffier eggs with a subtle citrus note.
For Boiled Eggs:
Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the boiling water. It can help make peeling easier and reduce that “eggy” smell.
For Egg Salad:
A splash of lemon juice in place of some vinegar or mayo adds brightness and a gourmet touch.
In Baking with Eggs:
Lemon juice can be added alongside eggs in cake or meringue recipes to enhance flavor and help stabilize whipped egg whites.
Pro Tips
- Fresh is best: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and results.
- Don’t overdo it: A little goes a long way. Too much lemon can overpower the eggs.
- Pair it well: Lemon juice pairs beautifully with herbs like dill, chives, or parsley in egg dishes.
