Eggs can be prepared in many ways. For breakfast, they can be scrambled, fried, or poached. In baking, they act as a binder and leavening agent, contributing to the texture and structure of cakes, cookies, and breads. They are also used in sauces, custards, and as a coating for fried foods. When cooking, it is important to ensure eggs are fully cooked to a safe temperature, especially for vulnerable individuals. The size of the egg can affect the outcome of recipes, so using the specified size is often recommended.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of these eggs fresh, store them in their original carton in the refrigerator. The carton protects them from absorbing odors and prevents breakage. It is best to keep them on a main shelf rather than the door, where temperatures can fluctuate more. Use them within a few weeks for optimal quality.
