How people cook with it

You can crack these eggs directly into a bowl for whisking into omelets or batters. For frying, heat a little oil or butter in a pan and cook them to your desired doneness. When baking, eggs act as a binder and leavening agent, contributing to the structure and texture of goods like cakes, cookies, and muffins. They can also be boiled, either soft or hard, for a quick and satisfying meal or addition to salads.
