Trick Your Brain Into Thinking You’re Eating Cheese With Grated Eggs

As you can see, this technique is, plain and simple, a cool culinary hack. Just boil the eggs and grate them. A rotary grater may prove to be the most convenient option, but you can also use a hand or box grater, or a Microplane. If you fancy using only the whites or the yolks, you can easily do that, too.

As for how to incorporate grated eggs into your dishes, here are some ideas: sprinkle them on toast, add them to breakfast tacos or sandwiches alongside or instead of cheese, stir them into salads, or use them to top your homemade pizza. Options are limitless!

If you want to be super extra, you can pickle eggs beforehand. Thus, you will add even more flavor and color to your meal. Plus, you can play around with all the different sizes and shapes of grater holes to see which yields the best texture.

From now on, you can incorporate grated eggs into your breakfast or brunch! Have you ever tried this before? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below, as we’d love to know!

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
