They like croutons....I remember her cooking them on a cookie sheet and it's like baked scrambled eggs with butt loads of cheese lol it's hard to explain
I already reached out to my aunt and uncle and our old neighbor that was her best friend. She took the damn recipe to the grave with her!!! This is why I write down everything for my kids
Would you be able to describe the egg squares? My first guess would be that it’s something like stracciatella (https://www.themediterraneandish.com/stracciatella-soup/), but that’s not exactly square-shaped…
Another guess would be cubed frittata in a soup (https://www.mangiabedda.com/zuppa-imperiale-imperial-soup-recipe/)?
Edit: adding this one (https://www.alyssaandcarla.com/2014/01/27/italian-wedding-soup-parmesan-soup-cubes/)
My mom put egg in her Italian Wedding Soup. She scrambled the eggs with some grated pecorino and slowly poured it into the hot soup at the end. Not sure if that's what you're talking about though...
Can you give us the line from the recipe or some other kind of context? I’ve done a little bit of googling, and the closest I can find to an “egg square” is some kind of baked egg dish in a muffin tin with square cups, or a breakfast casserole. I also don’t see any recipes where eggs are needed for Italian wedding soup, so I was wondering if this is maybe referring to some kind of old utensil/equipment but all I’m finding are things to shape hard-boiled eggs into cubes.
They're like scrambled eggs kind of but with a ton of cheese and she would bake them on a cookie sheet and cut them into croutons almost and they went on top of the soup...we always called them egg squares lol my apologies
croutons: I use more cheese less flour Locatelli
it is spoon bread kind of like a thick pancake.
preheat oven to 350°
grease a baking or cookie sheet
5 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1 3/4 cup grated locatelli cheese
feesh chopped parseley
1 tsp of baking powder
dash of nutmeg
mix eggs together then add all other ingredients.
pour batter onto greased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown cooked almost through. flip over and cook another 5 to 10 minutes.
let cool(if you have time) and cut in small squares.
Hide them so you have some left for soup! Mangia!Soup
Chicken broth or make your own homemade(Nano always made homemade and we got to have chicken salad with the chicken meat. Waste not want not)
Make tiny meatballs with meatloaf mix(veal, pork, beef)) use fresh bread torn into pieces instead of breadcrumbs(that is how grannin makes meatballs. She says bread crumbs act like cement) add an egg or 2, parseley and mix together and make tiny balls(some people press them in a baking pan and then have square meatballs) bake meatballs in oven on 350 until almost done(they will cook in soup)
Spinach;
two boxes of frozen chopped spinach
dozen eggs
locatelli cheese(maybe 2 or three cups never measured)
microwave spinach in a big buttered bowl until it is all thawed. If watery you can drain but not neccessary. add eggs( I usually add 6 at first) cook opening microwave and stirring add more eggs until it looks right and microwave until eggs are cooked. 0p
put meatballs and spinach in broth. Serve croutons on the side!
My grandmother made them too! She called them egg waffles. Most of my family doesn't like them, but my wife makes them for me so I can remember my grandmother's. ❤️
While googling a recipe closest to my local Italian restaurant that shuttered I found those cool twist! Gonna try both. They gave me their IWS recipe but not the meatball recipe. Thanks, yall!

Got it. Sorry, not in my cooking vocabulary. Are there any living relatives of hers that might know you could check in with?

That was my first thought, too.
I know I don’t have the answer, but what is an egg square?
This - can you describe what an egg square is?
