Goose eggs are about three times the size of chicken eggs. They are delicious and can be cooked in the same ways as hen eggs. With their richer flavour, they are great for omelettes and Spanish-style tortillas. The eggs have bigger yolks and less white than chicken eggs, which can lead to heavier, moister, denser baked goods. Chefs appreciate goose eggs for making pasta for the rich flavour and the more elastic texture, than hens eggs. Geese only lay about 40 eggs a year, which combined with their massive size, explains the price. The shells are much harder than chicken eggshells.
