Eggs – A Culinary Foundation

Eggs are one of the most versatile foods in the kitchen. They can be prepared in countless ways, including boiling (soft, medium, or hard), frying (sunny-side up, over easy/medium/hard), scrambling, and poaching. Beyond that, eggs play a vital role as an ingredient in dishes like omelets, frittatas, quiches, pastries, and baked goods.
