    I had a friend that raised lots of ducks. He would bring them to me a dozen at a time.

    1. They make really good and BIG deviled eggs....just make your favorite deviled egg recipe....but triple the ingredients!

    2. I you make an omelet..you only need one egg!

    3. If you bake a cake, use only one egg!

    I am a former chef and have had them in a number of ways, the fresh ones in North America, they often use them in Asian for the 1000 yr old ones along with what is known as the Pai Tan it is preserved in a lye solution and then buried in ash and clay, there is a salted one that has a clay and straw coating, these preparations change the structure and chemical properties of the egg.

    In Vietnam they have what they refer to as a fetal duck egg, like the Balut in the Phillpines it is a fertilized egg that the cooked and serve for breakfast. Regular duck eggs are slightly bigger than a extra large chicken egg, lower in cholesterol and richer in flavour some say, not usually available in grocery stores, but some farmer markets that sell fresh eggs, I have had others like emu, ostrich, quail, turkey, and the Peruvian one were the shells are light green, blue and a slight pink.

    Yes. Duck eggs can be served still as unfertilized eggs wherein they can be made into omellettes, devilled eggs, scrmabled eggs, boiled etc. They taste the same as ordinary chicken eggs.

    They are also made into Century Eggs (The black gelatin-like eggs in Chinese food). If you want them like this, just cover the eggs in VERY alkaline mud for about 100 days, and Voila!

    If the eggs are fetilized they are usually made into "balot" or "balut". (You know, the ones they always try to feed to the participants in Fear Factor?) and they are quite good actually. Not even half as bad as how they react in the tv show.

    I love duck eggs, they are larger than chicken eggs. I use them just like chicken eggs. Good for baking. You will want a reliable source.
