Common mistakes

  • Assuming all products labelled ‘mini’ are the same size

    The products covered here vary in weight: around 10 g each for Streeckgenoten, 15.5 g for Bolletje, 25 g for Jumbo and 28 g for AH. So the number of pieces alone doesn’t tell you how large each treat is.

    Compare the total weight and number of pieces before working out how many packs you’ll need.

  • Assuming a crunchy egg cake is the same as a soft mini egg cake

    Bolletje Brosse Eierkoeken have a milk coating and a different texture from the soft AH and Jumbo versions. That changes what you’re putting on the snack table.

    Choose the crunchy version if you specifically want that texture and finish; go for a soft version if you’re after a soft egg cake.

  • Overlooking the allergen label

    The products covered here list several allergens. Streeckgenoten also lists possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin.

    Check the label on the pack you buy, and keep the ingredients information handy for any guests who ask.

  • Opening all the packs well in advance

    Once opened, storage advice and shelf life may no longer apply in the same way. The Voedingscentrum points out that the printed best-before date often no longer applies unchanged after opening.

    Follow the label for your chosen product, open only what you plan to serve and seal any leftovers well.

Frequently asked questions

Which mini egg cake should I choose if I want to give one to each guest?

Choose a pack with enough pieces for your guest list, then decide what size you’d like to give each person. Jumbo Mini Eierkoeken contains ten portions of 25 g, while AH Mini eierkoeken contains eight portions of 28 g. Streeckgenoten also comes in a pack of ten, but at around 10 g each, they’re considerably smaller.

What should I look out for if my guests have allergies?

Check the current packaging of the exact product you’re serving. The soft AH and Jumbo mini egg cakes covered here list egg, wheat, milk and soya, among other ingredients; Streeckgenoten also lists possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains the requirements for declaring allergens on food labels.

Can I arrange the egg cakes on a platter in advance?

Yes, as long as you follow the storage instructions for your chosen product and seal any leftovers well. Bear in mind that, according to the Voedingscentrum, the printed best-before date often no longer applies in the same way once the pack has been opened.

Are standard egg cakes the same size as these mini versions?

Not necessarily: the number of pieces and the total weight together determine the size of each biscuit. Lidl and ALDI each list twelve pieces per 360 g for the standard egg cake packs mentioned here. Compare the details for each product with the size you want for your party.
