In this collection it's most often cooked with feta, fresh dill, fine sea salt, onion, olive oil and butter. The dishes here span greek classics ready in as little as 30 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
