How people cook with it
Eggs are incredibly versatile, serving as a binder, leavening agent, or the star of a dish.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried for a side
- Hard-boiled for snacks
Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. For scrambling, whisk them with a splash of milk or water and cook gently in a lightly oiled pan. Frying involves cracking them directly into a hot pan, cooking until the whites are set and the yolk is to your preference. Baking often requires them to be beaten or separated, contributing structure and richness to doughs and batters. They are also excellent when boiled, either soft or hard, making them convenient for meal prep.
How it differs from similar foods
Medium eggs are smaller than large or extra-large eggs. This size difference can affect recipes where egg quantity is critical, as fewer medium eggs might be needed compared to larger sizes. Their internal composition, however, is generally consistent with other chicken eggs.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs rely on eggs for countless recipes.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store uncooked eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator. Keep them on an interior shelf, not in the door, where temperatures fluctuate more. They are best used before the expiration date printed on the carton.
