What to do with 2 duck eggs?
I've been given 2 duck eggs at the farmers market. Whats the best sweet use for them so i can really showcase them? I normally bake cakes but they might get lost in that, I was also thinking brownies but you probably couldnt tell the difference...

poach them and put them on top of a salad or pasta or other dish so you get the runny yolk oozing over everything...mmm

I realize you asked for sweet but not the best use in my opinion. I say poached over crispy pancetta slices and a toasted english muffin then drizzled with hollandaise. Duck eggs benedict

If you want a dessert, you could try a creme brulee, flan, or some other custard. The final result will be pretty similar to that achieved with chicken eggs though; possibly a little richer, on account of the larger yolks. Poached or gently fried is the way to go if you really want to be able to tell that the eggs are duck eggs.

I love @climbhighak's suggestion. Hollandaise would be the best, but maybe chimichurri if that is what you have.

I raise ducks for their eggs. They can be used just as chicken eggs are. They are wonderful for baking as they help make the product raise a bit better and helps hold the shape better.

I ended up scrambling them for breakfast on wilted spinach. They were good but actually too rich for us in that form, almost like cream cheese! I think they would be great in a custard though and I've heard they are great in a cake as it makes for a sturdier cake.
Word of warning, apparently the whites are no good for meringues, since they dont whip up to a foam.
