  • Patent number: 12239148
    Abstract: Formed, ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat egg products are prepared by mixing a liquid egg composition comprising liquid egg in an amount sufficient so that the liquid egg composition is flowable at 35° F. with solid food inclusions, wherein at least 50% of the solid food inclusions have a longest dimension size of from 0.6 to 12 cm. At least about 50% of the solid food inclusions are at a temperature of less than 34° F. at the time of mixing. The resulting extrudable egg-based matrix comprises from 50 wt % to 90 wt % of the solid food inclusions, and is formed into a predetermined shape to provide a shaped, ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat egg product that is self-supporting for at least two minutes at an ambient temperature of 40° F. The shaped, ready-to-cook egg product may then be cooked.
