My chess pie sometimes has a bit of an eggy taste, and I'm not sure why. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? I'd love to get some advice on how to get that perfect balance of flavors. Thanks!
An eggy taste in chess pie can happen if there are too many eggs or if they’re not well mixed. Try reducing the egg yolks or making sure everything is blended evenly. Adding a bit more vanilla or citrus zest can also help balance the flavors!
Another possible reason your chess pie tastes eggy is that you overcooked it. Overcooking can cause the eggs to become firmer and taste more prominent. Make sure to bake the pie until it's just set. See if it has a slight jiggle in the center.
