You can use two small eggs instead – or scramble one of the 2 eggs and pour half of it into another container for later use or discard.

I’d be the only one eating it, so definitely don’t need two. Sounds great though.

That looks wonderful. So glad it was found and not lost for ever as you had thought and thank you so much for sharing. Definitely putting it on my list to try. I can’t begin to imagine the heartbreak of losing husband AND son. Their favourite foods must have reminded her of her loss everytime she cooked, and as you say, it is sad she didn’t give them to family members. Thowing away all her most treasured recipes in her heartbreak, while a great pity, makes perfect sense to me and reminded me in particular of the last verse of one of my favourite poems, “Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone” by W H Auden.
I’ve posted a link rather than the poem because it IS very sad and, while beautiful and moving, may not be something you want to read especially as you too have suffered an awful loss.
