How people cook with it
Eggs are fundamental in cooking, serving as binders, leavening agents, and emulsifiers. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a key component in countless dishes.
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried for sandwiches
- Hard-boiled for snacks
Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. For breakfast, they can be scrambled, fried, or poached. In baking, they are often whisked with sugar to create volume or beaten into batters to bind ingredients together. They can also be used to make custards, sauces like hollandaise, or as a coating for fried foods. The way eggs are cooked affects their texture and flavor, from a runny yolk to a firm, set white.
How it differs from similar foods
White eggs, like these, are produced by hens with white feathers and white earlobes. Brown eggs come from hens with red feathers and earlobes. The primary difference is the breed of the hen that laid them.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on eggs for their everyday culinary needs.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the refrigerator. The carton protects them from absorbing odors and prevents them from cracking. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator door, as the temperature can fluctuate more there.
