Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends choosing lower fat foods more often as part of a healthy diet. Using Egg Beaters is an easy way to get the protein you need with less fat and cholesterol. A high protein breakfast will keep you feeling fuller longer, which means you'll consume fewer calories throughout the day.
How Do I Use Egg Beaters?
Use Egg Beaters in place of whole eggs in your favourite dishes. You may already know they're great for scrambled eggs, omelets and French toast. They're also great in egg dishes like quiche, frittata and baked goods. Because they're pasteurized, Egg Beaters are safe and convenient to use in recipes that require uncooked eggs: Caesar salad dressing, protein shakes, smoothies, béarnaise and hollandaise sauces, eggnog and more.

Skillet Scrambling:
Pour desired amount into pre-heated non-stick skillet over medium heat. Let set for 30 seconds, then push cooked portion to center with spatula. Do not stir the eggs. Cook 1/2 to 1 minute more, gently turning to scramble.
Microwave Scrambling:
Pour the desired amount of Egg Beaters into a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook at high (100%) power for 1 minute. Stir. Cook 1/2 to 1 minute more until set but slightly moist.
Hard-Cooked:
Pour Egg Beaters into a pre-heated nonstick skillet. Cover; cook for 10 minutes over very low heat. Cool, chop into cubes and use in egg salad or egg sandwiches.
Breading:
Use Egg Beaters to coat chicken, fish or other foods before coating with bread crumbs or flour for baking or frying.
Open cartons of Egg Beaters keep in your refrigerator for up to seven days. Our convenient, re-sealable pour spout makes cooking easy and avoids messy refrigerator spills. They're perfect to take to the cottage or camping. Unopened refrigerated Egg Beaters can be stored in your refrigerator until the expiration date on each package.
Freezer Storage:
Frozen Egg Beaters packages have a longer shelf life than shelled eggs. A defrosted frozen package can be kept in the refrigerator for up to seven days. Do not refreeze Egg Beaters once thawed.
