How Brazilian cuisine cooks with eggs
Brazilian food is bold and communal, from smoky churrasco to coconut-rich seafood moquecas and the slow-cooked comfort of feijoada. When Brazilian cooks work with eggs, they reach for garlic, lime, coriander, dendê (palm) oil, coconut and malagueta chilli, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are baking, boiling, frying and sautéing.
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 all-purpose flour, whole milk, neutral oil, tomato paste, sweetened condensed milk and onion. The dishes here span brazilian classics ready in as little as 13 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.

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
