American Eggs Recipes

American cooking is a melting pot of comfort food — from slow-smoked barbecue to skillet classics, big on bold, crowd-pleasing flavour. When American cooks work with eggs, they reach for butter, smoked paprika, brown sugar, mustard, hot sauce and good stock, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are baking, boiling, simmering and roasting.

The kitchen's great multitasker — binder, leavener, emulsifier and a fast meal in their own right. In this collection it's most often cooked with unsalted butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, all-purpose flour, plain flour and buttermilk. The dishes here span american classics ready in as little as 13 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
