I have 85 laying hens and sell eggs as an extra income stream. I've eaten plenty of raw eggs over the years, feed them to my dogs, and sometimes back to the hens in their feed.

Nary a problem. Granted, you sure wouldn't WANT Food Poisoning, but the chances are pretty slim that you'll get it if you just observe standard cleanliness in the kitchen. :)

Can I have your French Silk Pie recipe? Please, Oh, Pretty Please? :)

I agree with you about eggs. I have eaten raw ones in stuff for many many years and never had a problem. Wish I could have some of your fresh ones! Unfortunately, I sell goodies and need to cover my behind with the pasteurized ones.
As to that French Silk recipe, sssshhhhh......it's secret, so don't tell anybody, OK?
crust
1/2 C butter
1/4 C brown sugar
1C flour
1/2 C nuts

filling
1/2 lb butter
1&1/2 C sugar
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs, chilled
Whipped cream (the real stuff)

Mix crust ingredients together.
Spread in a 9x13 pan and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Stir with a fork to break into little pieces.
Pat into 10 inch deep dish pie pan.
Save extra to sprinkle over finished pie

Filling:
Cream butter and sugar together. Add melted chocolate and vanilla.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating 2 minutes after each.
Continue to beat until creamy, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into crust and chill 1 hour before serving.
May be topped with whipped cream and extra butter crunch.

A word of caution. Do not let this get too warm while you are beating it. It will break and not come together. I usually use extra fine sugar to help make sure it all dissolves.
