How people cook with it
Eggs are a cornerstone of many culinary preparations, from simple breakfasts to complex desserts. Their unique properties make them indispensable in a wide range of recipes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried as a side dish
- Used in custards
Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. For scrambling, whisk them with a splash of milk or water and cook gently in a buttered pan. When baking, eggs often serve as a leavening agent, helping cakes and cookies rise, and as a binder, holding ingredients together. They can also be poached, boiled, or used to create emulsifications like mayonnaise. The yolk adds richness and color, while the white provides structure when cooked.

How to keep the rest
To keep remaining eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the refrigerator. Avoid washing them before storage, as this can remove the natural protective coating. Ensure they are kept away from strong odors that they might absorb.
