Much better than "Essentials"
We had always bought the Waitrose Essentials Eggs but fancied a change. Wow... The yolk is much more vibrant and the flavour is superb! Will be buying these all the time from now on.

Great eggs.
They're great eggs. Tastes good. I make tiramisu and souffle's with them. But, upon ordering it, the packers seem to think the eggs are not fragile and packed them with bottles. Last delivery I had with these eggs, 5 were broken. So, I usually end up buying them off the shelf at Waitrose most times.

Great flavour but shells weak
These have the taste of free range but not the shells to match. It is hard to crack them cleanly when baking as the shells fragment. I suggest trying more grit in the poor birds diet.
Recipes
Eggs Cocotte with Smoked Salmon and Tarragon
Something a bit different for breakfast which will give the family a break from a fried egg on toast, but with all the goodness you expect from eggs plus a bit more.
