- Fried for sandwiches

Eggs can be cooked individually or incorporated into larger recipes. For simple preparations, they can be fried in a pan with a little butter or oil until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. They can also be whisked vigorously and cooked in a non-stick pan to create fluffy scrambled eggs. When baking, eggs act as a binder, helping to hold ingredients together, and also contribute to the texture and richness of the final product. They are essential for making custards and custardy fillings.
