What to do with eggs

Eggs can become breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a quick snack with only a few minutes of cooking. They work on their own and also make vegetables, grains, and toast feel like a complete meal.

What it tastes like

Mild and savory, with a soft texture that changes depending on how you cook them.

Why it's useful

Eggs are a flexible protein that can anchor a meal when time and ingredients are limited.

3 ways to use it

  1. 01
    Scramble them

    Whisk, pour into a lightly greased pan over medium-low heat, and fold gently until just set.

  2. 02
    Hard-cook a batch

    Cook several at once for grab-and-go snacks, salads, and breakfast plates throughout the week.

  3. 03
    Make a vegetable skillet

    Cook vegetables first, add beaten eggs, and finish with a little cheese or seasoning.

Keep it fresh

  • Keep raw eggs refrigerated in their carton; FoodSafety.gov lists 3–5 weeks for refrigerated shell eggs.
  • Refrigerate hard-cooked eggs and use them within 1 week.
  • Cook egg dishes until the whites and yolks are set, or use a food thermometer for mixed dishes.
