Eggs and 5 Recipes You Don't Want to Miss

I really love eggs. They are so versatile and you can cook almost anything with them. Eggs are not only one of nature's most nutritious and economical foods but they are also available year round to provide not only delicious meals on their own. They are also an essential ingredient for the many baked goods and sauces that would never be the same without them. Eggs are the ultimate nutritious fast food. They are packed with protein, vitamins A, D, E and B, and minerals. A breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and fruit spread kept overweight women full longer than a bagel, cream cheese and yogurt breakfast with the same calories.

You can add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to help the process along.

Matches well with: anchovies, asparagus, bacon, bread, butter, capers, caviar, cheese, chicken livers, chives, crab, cream, ham, hollandaise sauce, mushrooms, onions, Parmesan cheese, parsley, pepper, potatoes, scallions, shallots, shrimp, smoked salmon, spinach, tomato, truffles.
