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
