Egg question? Know it's a bit silly but...

[cinderellabelle]

I really want to make a raspberry flan the recipe calls for 2 egg yolks i have to boil them up to form a custard. Will they be cooked long enough to be ok for me to eat? Know i sound completely OTT just a bit of a frantic worrier don't want to hurt baby. I'm 23 weeks pg atm. Thanks for all advice.

I would do it

I would have thought this was OK as they are cooked, not raw.

Will be fine.

I have eaten runny poached eggs throughout my pregnancy and not had any problems. The custard will be cooked then cooled so i would eat it happily.

I'd eat it. The advice says that eggs must be thoroughly cooked so egg white and yolk are firm. They would be for that recipe.

I think the egg advice is out of date now. ALL lion stamped eggs - basically all eggs sold in shops - are from hens vaccinated against salmonella. I interpret this to mean I can't catch salmonella from them and happily eat all my eggs runny.

My MW always said to make sure they were lion marked and then stop fretting. They'll be vaccinated so of no concern. I ate runny poached eggs through both pregnancies.

Thanks everyone have just finished a big slice without feeling guilty. Advice is changing so much.

I argued the lion mark thing in my last pregnancy and MW told me advice was still that runny eggs are out. I am grudgingly avoiding them but I strongly suspect you are absolutely right PrimaBallerina

OP, sounds like eggs will be cooked and therefore fine to me.

I think MWs have to toe the party line, whatsoever
