It is my belief that eggs are an invaluable resource in the world of cooking. Whether you want a simple breakfast, a trendy lunch, or a show stopping dessert, eggs are your best friend.
Simply boiling an egg in different ways can achieve different effects. For example, boiling an egg for a long time will cause the yolk to solidify. You are able to cut the egg in pieces. Many people like to scoop out the yolk out of the egg white, and mix it with cheese or sauce before returning it to the egg white. However, boiling the egg for a short time will result in a hardened egg white and runny yolk, similar to fried eggs done sunnyside up. This is when you put it in an egg cup and scoop out the insides like a kiwi fruit, and it's my favourite way to eat an egg. This is but one way to prepare the cornerstone of your breakfast ‒ other ways include frying and poaching.
The ways in which eggs can be used in both savoury and sweet meals is limitless. This has been true since modern society began. For example, the one thousand year egg has been enjoyed in China for centuries. This dish is prepared by encasing an egg in cement and herbs for months or years at a time! Understandably, it is a very polarising dish.
Many different types of eggs can be used, such as quail eggs, though most recipes will call for standard chicken eggs. Be careful as they come in different sizes, which can affect the outcome. Free range as opposed to caged eggs are always recommended.
So get out there, and get eggsperimenting!
