Eggs can be cooked in numerous ways. For breakfast, they are often scrambled, fried, or made into omelets. They are also essential for baking, acting as a binder in cakes and cookies, and providing richness to custards and quiches. The yolk contributes fat and emulsifiers, adding moisture and tenderness.
