Answers:
I would make custard---one whole egg and 3 yolks--

Heat 2 1/2 cups milk to scalding

Whisk together in 1 qt baking dish:
1 whole egg and 3 yolks
1/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Whisk in one ladle of hot milk at a time into egg mixture to temper eggs until you have added about 1/3 of milk!. Then pour remaining milk into egg mixture!.

Place baking dish into another pan and add boiling water until it comes up 1/2 way up side of baking dish!. Bake at 350* for about 30 minutes or until center of custard is set!.

Cool and serve!. Nutritious and yummy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here's a recipe for garlic aioli, which is really good on top of things like steamed veggies (especially asparagus!)

4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cold water
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Add the garlic and salt to the mortar bowl and grind slowly with the pestle, moving in one direction only!. (you can also do this first step in a food processor, and then put the garlic and salt mixture into a medium-sized bowl)!. Whisk in the mustard first, then the egg yolks!. At this point you can transfer the mixture back into the mortar or use the whisk in the bowl!.

Add in half of the oil!. This must be done very slowly or the oil will not emulsify and your sauce will not thicken!. Add the oil in a slow, fine stream while either whisking with a wire whisk or using your pestle!. Once the first half of the oil is incorporated, then add the water and the lemon juice and mustard, whisking or stirring constantly with the pestle!. Then slowly add the rest of the oil!. The mixture will thicken as you continue to blend it!. The mixture should be slightly thinner than commercial mayonnaise!. If it becomes too thick you can add a bit more warm water, one teaspoon at a time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

How to Make a New York Egg Cream
How to Make a New York Egg Cream
By Melissa Maroff


A genuine New York egg cream with Fox's U-Bet syrup
Rate: (11 Ratings)

Whatever happened to the egg cream!? That foamy, chocolaty, refreshing glass of heaven you could find at candy stores and luncheonettes on just about any street corner in the Big Apple!. They went the way of the soda fountains, but not to worry!. No matter where you live in America, you can recreate the greatness that is the egg cream with milk, plain ol' grocery store seltzer, and of course, Fox's U-Bet syrup!. Just keep in mind something very important--since an egg cream is only one ingredient away from being chocolate milk--it’s all in the way you make it!.

InstructionsDifficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup
Cold whole milk
Cold seltzer or club soda
16 oz!. glass
Spoon (preferably a long handled teaspoon)
Straw
Step1Pour 1 inch of U-Bet syrup into the glass!. If you like it a little sweeter, add a little more!. U-Bet is still being made in Brooklyn, as it has been since the late 1800s!. It has to be U-Bet for the true egg cream experience, although a classic brand like Hershey's will do in a pinch!.
Step2Add 1 1/2 inches of milk on top of the syrup!.
Step3Fill the glass with seltzer or club soda and leave some room at the top, so it doesn't overflow!.
Step4Stir vigorously to get most of the chocolate from the bottom and sides of the glass!. A perfect egg cream should have 1 to 2 inches of foam at the top!.
Step5Stick your straw in and drink right away before the foam disappears!.
