  • Publication number: 20230028204
    Abstract: A method and process for providing a cooked egg product having controlled curd shapes and few fines. By mechanically manipulating (e.g., dicing) a cooked egg product only after it has been cooled below a target setting temperature, resulting curds can be provided with a more controlled, even regular, shape as well as a low percentage of fines. Also presented is an egg composition with minimal fines and curds of cooked egg. The egg composition comprises cooked liquid egg, fines with a dimension less than 2.8 mm, and curds with a diameter less than 2.5 cm.

  • Publication number: 20180343903
    Abstract: A food product involving an integral combination of an egg layer and an edible, grain-based solid substrate can be provided by a method that involves providing a precursor product which then is heated to provide the food product. The precursor product can be provided by introducing an egg mixture to a primary surface of the edible solid substrate. The heating of the precursor converts the egg mixture into the at least partially cooked egg layer of the food product.
