Giant British ostrich eggs have arrived at Waitrose for foodies preparing a big breakfast or brunch this weekend.

The eggs, which weigh a mighty 2kg, are making their annual appearance at selected supermarkets across England and cost £19.99 each.

One Clarence Court ostrich egg is equivalent to 24 large hen eggs and will take you 50 minutes to perfectly boil, which Waitrose suggests serving with toast or asparagus soldiers.

The ostrich eggs are laid seasonally on a farm in Lincolnshire and the birds are precise in the manner in which they lay them. The dominant female will lay around seven to 10 eggs in the centre of the nest and the other females place their eggs to the outside. Both the female and male birds take turns to incubate the eggs, which can take up to 42 days.

Jay Ledwich, egg buyer at Waitrose said: ‘Although traditional hen’s eggs are a shopping list staple, our range of speciality eggs make a lovely treat. Our ostrich eggs are perfect for a big birthday breakfast or weekend brunch.’

Last month, Waitrose introduced Cornish Blue Duck Eggs from wild mallard ducks on a Cornish farm, which are available until mid-June, priced at £2.75 for six. Turkey, quail and goose eggs are also available from the supermarket.
