My two sons and myself had Ova Easy eggs for 4 breakfasts this summer in Quetico.
The results were great. Mix with bacon bits or summers sausage or omelet with onion, peppers and cheese. No need to take real eggs.

Been using them for 4-5 years now. They are very easy to use, and good tasting. Used them for french toast (before the new Ova-easy french toast recipe) and they worked great for that as well. Found the best price at Amazon or Ebay, when buying 4-6 packs at a time. Note that at best, one pack is equal to a dozen MEDIUM eggs.
They are a little spendy, but it's much better than oatmeal every day.

I portioned my last pack into 1-2 egg ziplocks had a couple left over, put them in the fridge when I got back. Used them a few months later and they were fine

Okay, okay...I am one of those people that really do not like powdered eggs. Been avoiding taking any kind of prepared omelette/egg product because of the texture & taste. After reading the rave reviews, I went ahead & I bought a few packages of the OvaEasy eggs. This past weekend I finally got the chance to make them. Wow, I am pleasantly surprised. It's eggs folks! It cooks like eggs, firms up like eggs, tastes like eggs (because it's eggs). I never told my husband his breakfast came from a pouch, he scarfed it down.
Here are some pictures for those of you that need convincing. Yay! Eggs are back!

I am normally a boil water kind of cook these days in the wilderness but picked up two packs of these at REI this week on a whim.
Then I found a really light fry pan at Goodwill along with a set of really small cooking utensils from IKEA and a Primus stove. I think it is a sign from the gods that I am meant to cook these eggs up on my next BWCA trip!

I noticed that the manufacturer has the smaller 2.0oz packets on their website, with free shipping. Not sure if that is still valid or not.
I also saw that they might have had a recall of some sort last year on a few select product datecodes. I am thinking of trying these, but I'll probably give them a little extra cooking just in case, since they are a real egg product.

Just ordered the 2 oz. package to try and yes, free shipping is still on.

I've never really been the best scrambled egg cookerer. :) I make a couple over medium eggs about every day. I've been happy with the ovaeasy eggs, but I "thought" they lacked the ability to really get fluffed. Our fire department cooks the Easter breakfast for the church. One of our guys makes an awesome scrambled egg. I watched him all morning. Very simple really... I tried his technique this morning with my ovaeasy eggs and wa la, best scrambled eggs I've ever made... Thanks Frank!

Guess you'll have to come to one of our breakfasts... Haha. From the time he tosses them on he just keeps sort of scaping into a pile and kind of chopping them. Nothing fancy... I add any spices right in the mix. I do mix with some pwd milk when I m mixing.
