Eggs might be the most underrated ingredient in your fridge. They’re cheap, they’re always there, and somehow they never get boring, at least not if you know what to do with them.

FAQ
How many eggs is it safe to eat in a day?
For most healthy people, one to two eggs a day is perfectly fine. If you have specific health concerns, it’s worth checking with your doctor about what’s right for you.
How do I know if an egg is still fresh?
A simple trick is to drop the egg in a bowl of water. If it sinks and lays flat, it’s fresh, and if it floats, it’s time to toss it.
Why do my scrambled eggs turn out rubbery?
Rubbery eggs usually come from cooking on heat that’s too high or leaving them on the stove too long. Low and slow, with a bit of patience, makes all the difference.
Can I make these egg recipes ahead of time?
Recipes like hard boiled eggs, egg salad, and the breakfast muffins hold up really well in the fridge for a few days. Dishes like poached or fried eggs are best made fresh.
What’s the best way to store leftover cooked eggs?
Keep cooked eggs in an airtight container in the fridge and try to use them within 3 to 4 days for the best taste and texture.
