@Citrine1 That is the way I was taught too and still do it to this day. I had a double yolk egg a couple of months ago. Hadn't had that happen in years. Purchased the eggs at a grocery store.

Blood is in all meats. It really doesn't make any difference in an egg if it is used in baking. But if you can't stand it, give it to the dog! LOL!!!

For those on a health kick, just remember that double yolks = double cholesterol!

The cholesterol in eggs has almost no effect on our blood cholesterol levels. Your cholesterol levels are more influenced by the saturated and trans fat we eat. If you eat your eggs with a side of bacon it is likely the bacon will have more effect on your cholesterol levels than the egg.

There are a small percentage of people in the community that are more sensitive to eating dietary cholesterol than other people. This means that when they eat food containing cholesterol, their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels rise more than other people. If you want to know more about what your cholesterol level is and how to manage it, talk to your doctor or health practitioner. Read more about blood cholesterol

You can eat up to 6-7 eggs each week. That is 1 egg a day or 2-3 egg filled meals a week.

one egg = 186 mg cholesterol

double yolk egg = 235 mg cholesterol

Hmmmm... the American Heart Asssociation paints a much different picture. I think I'll listen to my cardiologist!!

Update: While eggs ounce for ounce are the best balance of protein vs calories vs cholesterol -- re: heart disease, this is the link I was referencing:
