Choosing & preparing eggs
How to choose
Fresher eggs sit flat with a domed yolk and sink in water; older ones float. Pasture-raised eggs tend to have deeper-coloured, richer yolks.
Prep & storage
Room-temperature eggs whip to greater volume and are less likely to crack when boiled. Crack into a separate bowl first to catch shell and check freshness.
When is it done?
Soft-boiled: 6 minutes; jammy: 7–8; hard: 10–12. Scrambled eggs are best pulled off the heat while still slightly wet — they keep cooking.
Nutrition
A complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, plus choline, vitamin D and lutein — mostly in the yolk.
Classic flavour partners: butter, chives, cheese, tomatoes, spinach, black pepper
