Eggs can be cooked in numerous ways. For breakfast, they can be scrambled, fried, or poached. In baking, they act as a leavening agent, contribute moisture, and help bind ingredients together, creating structure in cakes, cookies, and breads. They are also essential for custards and meringues. For savory dishes, they can be used in omelets, frittatas, or as a coating for fried foods. The yolk can be emulsified into sauces like hollandaise or mayonnaise.
