Frying a $169 Ostrich Egg in a Skid Steer Bucket

We just made breakfast on the jobsite with ostrich eggs, and they’re huge- just look at one next to an average size construction worker. They’re not easy to open either – I used a Sawzall with a special metal cutting blade. Just one of these jumbo-sized ostrich eggs is equal to 30 chicken eggs. I wanted to scramble this egg, so I used my drill with an 1 ½” spade bit to beat the egg. To fry the egg we heated up the skid steer bucket with a torch. I put down a shovel full of butter so the egg wouldn’t stick. It’s crazy that all of that came from just one egg. I had this egg flown in from New Mexico and it cost me $169.00. I wanted to keep this simple- salt, black pepper, and some of my homemade Fuego powder- this stuff really is deadly. Finally, I added some sharp cheddar cheese. Once all the cheese melted, I garnished the egg with parsley. I’ve never had ostrich egg before, but it tastes a lot like a chicken egg. I’m on a diet, so I was proud of myself for only eating one egg. The New Guys sucked his up like he was a vacuum cleaner. @hausplans #construction #heavyequipment #cooking #contractor #chef
