- Scrambled for breakfast
- Baked into cakes
- Fried for a side dish
- Used as a binder in meatballs
Eggs can be prepared in many ways. For a simple meal, they can be cracked into a heated pan with a bit of oil or butter and cooked until the whites are set and the yolks are to your liking, whether sunny-side up, over easy, or hard-cooked. They are also essential for baking, providing structure and richness to cakes, cookies, and breads. In other preparations, they can be whisked into batters, used to create sauces like hollandaise, or emulsify dressings. Their ability to bind ingredients makes them invaluable in dishes like meatloaf and quiches.
