Show off your duck egg meals and/or baked goods!

[OneEggToRuleThemAll]

So my ducklings are just three weeks old--we obviously don't have eggs yet. But to prepare for them to start laying, I searched the forum for "duck egg meals" and "duck egg dishes" and didn't have any luck. I'd LOVELOVELOVE to see photos of your scrambled duck eggs with toast and (meat- or soy-based--we're not picky!) bacon, duck egg omelets, duck egg custard pie, duck egg fried rice, pancakes made with duck eggs, fried duck eggs with RUNNY YOLKS, quiche, cake, muffins, duck eggs benedict, hard boiled duck eggs on all the salads, DUCK EGGNOG (omg is this a thing?!), French toast, deviled duck eggs, traditional ramen with those marinated (duck) eggs, SHOW ME THE FOODS!

I'm thinking this can just be some kind of ongoing thread full of duck egg food pics!! So newbies, like me, can get hungry some inspiration! Feel free to post old photos, new photos, photos of food being cooked RIGHT NOW...I think I need some breakfast, haha!

Oh yeah, I forgot that they don't lay when they molt! About how long does that take?

A month or more first they lose most of their feathers then they have to grown the back. Never had any of my ducks look naked but boy some of my chickens can. lol

Naked chickens, lol! So do all of the ducks molt at the same time? I guess I better learn how to preserve eggs!

I'm getting one egg every other day or so, from one of my nine runners, and this is the first time my ducks have ever laid in the winter. I froze some eggs this summer to get us through the dry period. First time doing it. Haven't tried thawing and using them yet. My Bielefelder chickens are also slackers, seven months old and haven't laid a single egg yet.
