Dumb cooking question

If you crack open your egg and it has two yolks, does that count as one egg or two for the recipe? And yes, I do find it ironic that I buy FH chicken eggs.

Just one egg. The overall volume is the same, just less of the white and more of the yolk.

Thanks. I did think of the volume thing, but I dont really love the yolks so I hesitate to put another one in. I guess we will just have a little extra cholesterol tonight, yum!

Depends on what your making, but I usually count it as 1. If the egg wasn't big enough that you could tell it was a double without cracking it open, then it's probably fine. I have one in my fridge that is so big it doesn't fit in the carton, so if I bake with it, I'll count it as two.

Thanks Kristy! I am making french toast (yep, healthy dinner at my house.)

Sounds yummy! Since it won't effect the liquid measurement, like in a cake or something, it's no big deal.
