Besides coming in cartons of 10, Japanese eggs or tamagos as they are known around here, are a little bit different than American eggs. They are extra fresh and extra orange. Today, I made my first batch of sweet treats in Japan. This was also my first time baking with Japanese eggs. I have made scrambled eggs & boiled eggs, but this was my first time baking. Knowing I needed a fail proof recipe, I made crowd pleasers – salted caramel chocolate chip cookies. I snapped a picture of the eggs before I mixed the dough. Can you identify the Japanese egg?

The eggs when boiled also look a little different than normal America eggs. Can you differentiate between the two?
Hard Boiled Eggs
The freshness of the tamagos make them a little bit harder to peel as witnessed by the choppy white edges of the orange yolks. No worries, with these eggs & tamagos, I made egg salad! So, chopped was good.
