  6. Bake in the skillet in the preheated oven until eggs are firm, about 25 minutes. Remove, cut into wedges, and serve with more pesto if desired. From the Editor: Duck eggs can be found at farmer's markets. They are larger than chicken eggs, and the yolks are proportionately larger, so they are more rich. You'll need about 8 large chicken eggs to substitute for 6 duck eggs.
