Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "You can do this," Plodd says, handing me an egg. "This is a classic egg dish. I learned how to create it perfectly when I was in France. In Metz, to be exact. It is essentially an egg custard with bacon, in a pastry shell, and real men do eat it!" What dish is Plodd teaching me how to create?

Answer: quiche lorraine

The northeastern French province of Lorraine is home to the savory dish known as quiche lorraine. The original recipe included a bread base, topped by an egg custard with bacon bits, and was cooked in a cast iron pan. Over the years the recipe has evolved, replacing the bread base with a pie crust or puff pastry crust, adding cheese (usually Gruyere), and baking the dish in an oven.

There are numerous variations, including versions with asparagus, mushrooms, onions and/or tomatoes.
2. The kitchen is hot, with the rice, smoked haddock and hard-boiled eggs cooling, and Caparica hands me a bowl of sliced onions. "Fry these," he says, "until they are soft. Then add the spices, while I flake the fish. This is an old family recipe, but the basic dish is from India. Do you know what it's called?"

Answer: kedgeree

Kedgeree is a dish which originated in colonial India, and became a traditional UK breakfast dish. It can be served hot or cold, accompanied by lemon wedges, yogurt, chutney, ketchup, and a crusty baguette or naan bread. And, kedgeree is not just for breakfast!
3. I'm in the kitchen with Puddles_08, and she is showing me how to make a truly impressive breakfast dish. "Timing is critical when you are poaching the eggs," she says, handing me two split English muffins. "Pop those in the toaster while I stir the Hollandaise sauce and check on the ham. Everything is almost ready, but do you remember the name of this dish?"

Answer: Eggs Benedict

There are several stories concerning the origin of Eggs Benedict, but whatever the true story is, the dish has become a treasured brunch treat. Usually served with a potato side (hash browns or roasted potatoes), the dish is a combination of textures and tastes, and often considered a delicacy or extravagance.

While the basic recipe is toasted muffins, cooked ham, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce, the dish has a multitude of variations. Depending on the different ingredients used - crab meat, asparagus, steak, mushroom, biscuits and others - Eggs Benedict becomes a dish with a different name.
4. I'm learning a lot about cooking from george48! "I spent some time on a farm in Mexico," he says, handing me a plate of corn tortillas. "Keep those warm, while I fry the eggs." He lowers the flame under the pot of salsa. "I learned how to make this egg dish while I was there. Do you know what it's called?"

Answer: huevos rancheros

A very basic breakfast dish which originated in Mexico, huevos rancheros is simply fried eggs served on hot corn tortillas, and topped with heated salsa. The dish is often accompanied by sliced avocado, spiced rice, black beans or refried beans, cheese, cilantro, hot sauce and sour cream.
5. "You are going to love these," moonraker2 says, handing me a bowl of hard boiled eggs. "While you peel the eggs, I'll get the sausage ready, and make the breading. The deep fryer is ready, and I'm starving!" What treat is moonraker2 teaching me how to make?

Answer: Scotch egg

Also known as egg devils, Scotch eggs are basically hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage, then breaded and deep-fried. A popular picnic, snack or pub treat, Scotch eggs are usually eaten cold, often with pickles or salad. As with most recipes, there are numerous variations.
6. "I had this when I was on vacation in Hawaii," maudy2 says, "and there are lots of different ways to make it, but I prefer the basic recipe. So, while the rice is cooking, you can make the hamburger patties, and I'll heat the gravy and fry the eggs." Once everything is cooked and plated, what Hawaiian dish are we going to have?

Answer: loco moco

While there is a bit of controversy over just who invented loco moco, one fact is sure - it originated in Hawaii, and has become a traditional dish, not just for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner. Basically, the dish consists of white rice, topped with a hamburger patty, a sunny side up egg and gravy.

It can be topped with sliced green onion, served with macaroni salad, made with sausage instead of hamburger, brown rice instead of white - and the possibilities are endless!
7. I'm in the kitchen with Jennings, and he is showing me step by step how to make a particular sandwich. "I perfected this sandwich when I was living in Paris," he says, gesturing at the ingredients lined up on the counter. "Bread, Dijon mustard, baked ham, butter, cheese and eggs. With these, we will make an unforgettable sandwich." Feeling rather silly, I say, "Well, I already forgot. What is this sandwich called?"

Answer: croque madame

A croque madame is essentially a grilled ham and cheese sandwich topped with a fried egg. Based on the classic croque monsieur, which originated around 1910, the croque madame is believed to have been created in 1960. Some recipes for both the croque monsieur and the croque madame call for a topping of a cheesy béchamel sauce.
8. I'm in the kitchen with CoachinChina, and she's at the stove, stirring the contents in the wok. "We have to heat the chicken broth, and while that's warming, take the eggs and beat them lightly." I crack the eggs into a small bowl, and watch as she adds white pepper, salt and sesame oil to the broth. "When this is hot enough, we add the eggs, stirring them in carefully - first clockwise, then counterclockwise." What dish is she teaching me how to make?

Answer: egg drop soup

Also called egg flower soup, egg drop soup is a light, chicken broth-based soup. The feathery strands of egg are created by pouring the eggs slowly into the hot broth, first stirring them one way, then the other. Depending on the recipe, sugar may be used in place of the white pepper, and the sesame oil can be omitted. Also, other ingredients may be added, including green onions, tofu, grated ginger, corn, frozen peas and bean sprouts.
9. With nothing more than a mixer and a scraper, marym0901 seems to be creating something as light and fluffy as a cloud. "All you need," she says, "are egg whites and sugar. A bit of patience, too, but once you master this, the reward is sweet and light - and fat free!" What is she teaching me how to make?

Answer: meringue

Meringue is a very simple dish, that can be used to top a dessert such as pie - as with lemon meringue pie - or baked and eaten as a stand-alone dish. There are a few tricks to creating a successful meringue - separate the eggs while they are chilled, being sure not to get any yolk in with the whites. Let the whites come to room temperature before whipping them. Use a glass or stainless steel bowl, and make sure it is spotless. And, do not add the sugar until the whites have been whipped to soft peaks.

A popular way to shape meringue is to use a pastry bag with a decorative tip. And, to use the leftover egg yolks, the Brazilian custard known as quindim is relatively simple to make.
10. "This is actually a very easy drink to make," peewee2 tells me. "Eggs, cream, sugar, and cinnamon or nutmeg - that's all you need." She grins and tries to look innocent. "And sometimes alcohol, depending on how naughty you decide to be!" Returning her grin, I ask "Just what is this beverage called?"

Answer: eggnog

Eggnog is a common beverage treat over the Christmas season in the US and Canada, and elsewhere as well. It is also a decadent alternative to beaten eggs when making French toast, or other recipes which call for cream or milk. Eggnog mixes well with rum, brandy, whiskey and vodka - and was popular in Victorian England as a beverage known as sack posset.

The basic eggnog recipe uses eggs, cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Some recipes call for the eggs, milk and sugar be cooked into a custard, some recipes include alcohol in the initial creation, and some store-bought versions are made with soy or rice milk.
