Coddled duck eggs with asparagus offer a rich, creamy breakfast or light meal, usually prepared by steaming eggs in small jars with butter and seasonings alongside sautéed asparagus and pancetta. This refined dish cooks in roughly 10 minutes (after prep) by simmering jarred eggs in a pan of water.

Duck egg custard is a rich, exceptionally creamy, and velvety dessert prized for its silken texture and deep, intense flavor, far surpassing chicken egg custard. Because duck eggs have larger, more fatty yolks and a thicker white, the resulting custard is incredibly smooth and holds its shape well when baked.
