When it comes to talking about eggs, I remember a happy ad jingle ringing in my head. Growing up in India, we used to hear a popular ad jingle in Hindi on TV promoting eggs, like the “Got Milk“ campaign in US….”Sunday ho ya Monday, roz khao Anday” (Be it Sunday or Monday, Eat Eggs Everyday). Ardently believing in that philosophy, we do eat a lot of eggs on a regular basis, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack!
Egg is a great and easy source of protein and energy which we can add to our diets. And if we are eating a good quality egg we know we are eating right.
These days when we are aware of the ill effects of genetically modified food, hormones, chemicals and processed food, people are going back to the farms, shopping organic produce and diary, scouting farmers markets, organic gardening, cooking and eating only pure forms of food.
So when Nestfresh offered me to check out and review their cage free organic eggs, I welcomed the opportunity to adopt organic eggs in our diet. Today you can enter their free giveaway offer to try out a month’s supply of Nestfresh organic eggs with an accessories gift package.( rules below)
Nestfresh believes in making the most wholesome and natural organic eggs from cage free humanely grown chickens, accessible across America. Hence its using regional, family owned farms which are certified cage free to provide eggs to us, that satisfy our conscience. NestFresh eggs are certified cage free, natural, organic, eggs with no hormones, no antibiotics and chemicals. These eggs are farm fresh from cage free humanely grown chickens on a vegetarian non GMO diet!
I used these eggs to make my favorite sunny side up eggs, our kids favorite scrambled eggs, my husband’s favorite soft boiled eggs (http://hotsweetspicyrecipes.com/how-to-boil-an-egg-science-not-an-art/), French Toast, savory Bombay toast, spicy omelets for breakfast or these days for Saher/ eating before sunrise in Ramadan. Each time we made the Nestfresh eggs, they were delicious in taste and flavor besides being rich and pure in form.
Today I am adding a recipe for quick and easy eggs puff pastries snack I make often as appetizer, finger food in parties, with tea time, or perfect filling snack we can eat at Iftar or breaking of the fast at sunset in Ramadan.
Egg Puff Pastry Recipe
Ingredients
Puff pastry sheets- about 1/2 packet of the pastry sheets pack
Boiled eggs- 4
Red Onion- 1 small ( optional)
Red pepper powder- 1 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
Salt- to taste
Oil- as required
Egg – 1 for egg wash ( optional)
Directions
Boil the Eggs http://hotsweetspicyrecipes.com/how-to-boil-an-egg-science-not-an-art/ (medium or hard boiled) and shell and split each into half.
Heat oil in a pan, add sliced onion, and saute onion till its starts to turn golden brown, add red pepper powder, turmeric, cumin and salt and the split boiled eggs. Sauté on both sides to let the eggs have a spicy flavor along with the red onions. I prefer to caramelize the red onions because the yellow onions can get sweet. But you can also skip the onions and just sauté the eggs with the spices as variation too.
Allow this masala eggs to cool before setting on the pastry sheets.
Preheat the oven.
Lay out the thawed pastry sheets and cut into squares.
Spoon the masala eggs to the center of the pastry squares.
Fold two corners to the center, you can wet the finger to seal and overlap the tips and press with your fingers. You can seal all four corners if you want a different look too.
Beat an egg and brush the top of pastry with egg wash for a golden look (optional)
Place the puffs on a baking tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
Serve warm with Hot & Sweet chili sauce or mint chutney.
