Cooking with eggs

Eggs do a lot of jobs. They can be the star of the plate, like fried, poached, or soft scrambled eggs. They also hold cakes together, thicken custards, and give pancakes a nice rise.

In this section you will find omelets, frittatas, quiches, deviled eggs, egg salad, and baked dishes. Most use gentle heat and a few pantry staples. Unlike other ingredient pages, these recipes often come together fast, so they are good for busy nights.

How long should I boil an egg?

For a soft yolk, about 6 to 7 minutes is common. For a firm yolk, try 10 to 12 minutes. Cool them in cold water after.

Kitchen tips

  • Cook eggs over medium-low heat so they stay tender.
  • Let eggs sit out for a few minutes before baking if the recipe asks for room temperature.
  • Crack eggs into a small bowl first to catch any shell.
  • For easy peeling, cool boiled eggs in cold water before you peel.
  • Keep eggs in the fridge and check the date on the carton.
