How people cook with it
Eggs are a staple ingredient in kitchens worldwide. They can be prepared in numerous ways or incorporated into a wide array of dishes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried for sandwiches
- Used as a binder in meatballs
Eggs can be cooked using various methods. They can be scrambled, fried, poached, or boiled. For baking, eggs often act as a leavening agent, helping to create a lighter texture, and also as a binder, holding ingredients together. When whisked, they can create foams that add volume to dishes like meringues or soufflés. The yolk and white can be separated for specific culinary applications, with the yolk contributing richness and emulsification, and the white providing structure when cooked.

Large fresh eggs differ from other egg sizes primarily in their weight and volume, which can affect recipe outcomes. Freshness is also a key factor; fresher eggs tend to have a firmer yolk and thicker white, which can be desirable for certain preparations like poaching.
