We’ve all been there. You’ve scaled down a recipe and it suddenly occurs to you: How the heck do you add half an egg?
A little bit like nailing jelly to a tree, chopping through your yolk and whites won’t quite work. Unfortunately, this frustrating conundrum often occurs while you’re trying to cook a recipe for just yourself. Luckily, our cookbook, Cooking for One, has the answer.
So, half an egg will measure two tablespoons by volume or close to an ounce when weighed (. 875 ounce, but most digital scales won’t give you that fine a measurement). Since even eggs labelled as large vary by weight, don’t stress too much if your halved egg weighs more or less than an ounce.
