- Scrambled for breakfast
- Fried for sandwiches
- Baked into cakes
- Used as a binder
Eggs can be cooked in many ways. For a simple meal, they can be fried in a pan with a little oil or butter until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. They are also excellent when scrambled, whisked together and cooked gently in a pan. For baking, eggs contribute to the structure and richness of cakes, cookies, and breads. They can also be hard-boiled or soft-boiled for salads and snacks. Their ability to emulsify makes them useful in sauces and dressings.

This means they contain more whites and yolks per egg, which can affect the outcome of recipes where precise measurements are important. They offer a greater volume for dishes like omelets or custards.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining eggs in their original carton in the refrigerator. Keep them on a main shelf rather than the door, as the temperature is more consistent there. Ensure the carton is closed to prevent odor absorption and potential contamination.
