How Russian cuisine cooks with eggs
Russian cooking is warming and substantial — rich braises and dumplings finished with the cooling tang of dill and soured cream. When Russian cooks work with eggs, they reach for dill, soured cream, onions, butter, mushrooms and bay, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are boiling, baking, frying and simmering.
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, sour cream, butter, fine sea salt, granulated sugar and buckwheat flour. The dishes here span russian classics ready in as little as 25 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
