For small bites alongside other Christmas treats, Streeckgenoten Mini Crisp Egg Cakes are a good fit: according to Albert Heijn’s product details, a 100 g pack contains 10, averaging 10 g each. If you’d prefer to serve each guest a soft egg cake, consider Jumbo Mini Egg Cakes, with 10 portions of 25 g, or AH Mini Egg Cakes, with 8 portions of 28 g. Streeckgenoten are crisp and listed by Albert Heijn as available in store only; check the latest packaging for ingredients and allergens for all three options.
Who are these sizes for?
Hosts putting together a buffet of bites
If the egg cakes are going alongside other treats, a smaller piece may be more convenient than a larger portion. According to the product details on Albert Heijn’s website, Streeckgenoten contains 10 crisp mini egg cakes in a 100 g pack; the soft versions from Jumbo and Albert Heijn have portions of 25 g and 28 g respectively.
Hosts who want to serve one to each guest
If you want to offer every guest a soft egg cake without having to cut it, Jumbo packs contain 10 and Albert Heijn packs contain 8. Check the weight per portion too: ‘mini’ doesn’t mean the same amount in each case.
Hosts who need to check allergens
For guests with relevant allergies, always go by the latest packaging. The product information for the three mini versions mentions egg, wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients; Streeckgenoten also lists possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin.
What should you consider when choosing?
First decide whether the egg cake is intended as a small buffet bite or a portion in its own right. Then match the number of pieces, texture and ingredients to your guests.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming every ‘mini’ is equally small
According to product details from Albert Heijn and Jumbo, the portions mentioned range from an average of 10 g for Streeckgenoten to 25 g for Jumbo and 28 g for AH. That difference affects how much room each egg cake takes up among the other bites.
Compare the weight per piece before deciding how many packs to buy; don’t just look for ‘mini’ on the front.
-
Only checking for egg
The product information for all three mini versions also mentions wheat, milk and soya. Streeckgenoten additionally lists possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin.
Check which ingredients are relevant to your guests, then read the latest ingredients list and allergen information on the pack.
-
Planning to have an in-store product delivered
Albert Heijn lists Streeckgenoten Mini Crisp Egg Cakes as ‘In store only’. So don’t count on having this particular version delivered.
Check how you can buy it before planning the rest of your Christmas shopping.
A trip to the shop takes extra time; if the version isn’t available, you’ll need to choose something else while you’re there.
-
Treating crisp and soft as the same eating experience
A crisp egg cake has a different texture from the soft mini egg cakes from AH and Jumbo. Bolletje also describes a crisp cinnamon version with a milk coating, but it hasn’t been confirmed as a mini size.
Choose the texture you want to serve, and check the size and ingredients again if you opt for a different version.
