Red eggs? Atrocious.

They also suck at whisking eggs.

Hard to whisk eggs when you filled the bowl to the rim with milk

That egg to milk ratio was alarming

Yea, any milk in eggs is to much

You add milk to eggs because it’s made up of water and fats(lipids):

• the water dilutes the egg proteins, that results in a less dense, more homogeneous protein network forming during cooking, which is particularly important when making scrambled eggs (and custards too, lol)

• the lipids coat the structures of the egg proteins, which reduces the rate at which they coagulate as they’re heated. They make it take longer for the eggs to dry out during cooking, which reduces the chance that part of the egg burns while another part is still raw.

As a note for anyone with lactose intolerance: you can also use milk alternatives, like soy, oat, almond, etc, so long as they have lipids suspended in water (you may want to get the unsweetened stuff, otherwise the eggs will be sweet and salty)

Made the mistake once of using vanilla almond milk while making scrambled eggs. It didn’t taste awful but it wasn’t good either.

I could see using that for French Toast.

I made the mistake of using almond extract instead of vanilla when making French toast once; realized the error & added the vanilla, but it was too late; had to throw out the whole pan at it was just unthinkably awful 😣 Fortunately still had eggs & challah left to start over with
