Eggs can be prepared in numerous ways. They can be gently whisked and cooked over low heat for a creamy scramble, or beaten vigorously and cooked quickly for a fluffier result. For baking, eggs contribute structure, richness, and leavening. They can be incorporated whole or separated into yolks and whites, each offering different properties. When frying, the cooking time can be adjusted to achieve desired yolk consistency, from runny to firm. Their ability to emulsify also makes them essential in sauces and dressings.
