Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. For a simple breakfast, they can be scrambled, fried, poached, or boiled. In baking, eggs provide structure, richness, and leavening to cakes, cookies, and breads. They also act as emulsifiers, helping to bind ingredients together in sauces and dressings. For a quick meal, an omelet or frittata can be made by whisking eggs with vegetables, cheese, or meats.
