Gourmet eggs: What role can pasteurised eggs play in the kitchen?

In haute cuisine and fine dining, chefs place an emphasis on using high-quality products which they elevate with their meticulous preparations and cooking, not to mention their elegant presentations. Gourmet eggs have emerged as a choice ingredient that allows chefs to continuously invent new concoctions. 

Our pasteurised eggs are a real culinary revolution. Thanks to their outstanding flavour and guarantee of optimal food safety, Cocotine egg products have won over even the most demanding cooks and pastry chefs.

 

Advantages of pasteurised eggs in the kitchen

Our liquid egg products for food service provide many benefits that make them a must. While it is certainly possible to work with shell eggs in the kitchen, they entail risks of bacterial contamination that require compliance with very strict hygiene standards throughout their storage and handling. The presence of salmonella in an egg inevitably leads to food poisoning and very bad press for your establishment!

The process of pasteurising egg products ensures impeccable food safety, so long as you adhere to the indicated storage temperatures and shelf lives. The greatest chefs utilise liquid egg with perfect peace of mind, even for the trickiest preparations that call for raw or barely cooked eggs.

What is more, fresh and frozen pasteurised eggs are known for their convenience and for the time they save. These products are ready to use, eliminating the need to break and separate your eggs. Their format also makes it possible to measure out very precise quantities of product for recipes that must be accurate to the last gram.

 

Using pasteurised eggs in your gourmet recipes

Give free rein to your creativity when you use pasteurised liquid egg in your most iconic sweet and savoury dishes. Eggs are vital to preparing the most delicate sauces, making delectable, velvety creams and creating fluffy mousses that melt in the mouth.

With our egg products, you can revisit the classics or innovate with original creations that subtly blend gourmet eggs with the finest products, such as truffles, foie gras or caviar. Infinite variations on your recipes are possible – soft-baked eggs with morel mushrooms? scrambled eggs with smoked trout? – and are sure to delight your guests’ taste buds.

Don’t miss out on our 63-degree eggs in the shell, which are thoroughly cooked for 45 minutes at a low temperature, yielding firm whites and nice, runny yolks. It only takes a few minutes to reheat them, and they’re ready to serve. They are a real time saver for last-minute orders and a great way to add value to your menu by showcasing your use of free-range eggs.

For example, you could offer a 63-degree egg served with porcini mushrooms and a parmesan cream sauce: purée the porcini, make a parmesan emulsion and then add the pan-fried mushrooms, a drizzle of hazelnut oil and a few dried morels.

 

Cocotine eggs: Quality and animal welfare, guaranteed made in France

Whole egg, egg yolk or egg white: Cocotine’s egg products for food service stand out for their quality, their traceability and the brand’s commitment to animal welfare. 

Complete control over our egg value chain allows our cooperative to deliver high-quality products, made in France, with detailed traceability at each link on the chain. As soon as they are laid, our 230 farmers’ eggs are routed to our processing and packaging sites where they are turned into egg products that are ready for your kitchens’ refrigerators. 

The Cocotine brand is also known for our commitment to animal welfare, which is a growing concern for both consumers and chefs in search of the best products. Our replacement of caged eggs with alternatively farmed (cage-free) eggs guarantees that you are using products of the highest nutritional quality, whose production methods are more respectful of the animals.
