Hi Reeni, just made this recipe, its in the oven
i’ll let you know….
My favorite way to have an egg is a 5 minute boiled egg, so that the yolk is still runny.
Delicious looking banana bread!
I love to scramble them up and eat them on toast with some cheese. My dad has a tradition he calls ‘flat-egg friday’ where every friday he scrambles up eggs and cooks them up so they’re flat–like a pancake. All his grandkids love it!

Hi Reeni. Great post and wow, what a great give-away. I use EB eggs. I buy them in as large of a quantity as I can, though I have to store them in other containers to fit in my tiny fridge. Great banana bread, healthier than the one I just posted (I’ll probably add ground flax seed to mine when I make it myself). My fav EB eggs are used in everything I make, although I like them best over-easy on a piece of toast, Love runny yolks soaked into the toast.
