| One of natures near perfect foods, eggs are a good source of high-quality protein, low in fat, and low in calories. True, they are a source of cholesterol, but contrary to the cholesterol found in foods linked to saturated fats, most of us are able to efficiently metabolize the dietary cholesterol found in eggs. In fact, studies have shown no appreciable effect of daily egg consumption on blood cholesterol. 'Nuf said about all that, though.
Eggs taste great. On their own - simply poached or hard-cooked, scrambled or fried, versatile eggs also lend themselves to a multitude of culinary creativity, from appetizers to desserts, from early breakfast to late-night noshing. To prepare this perfect food to perfection, we've got the perfect tools. Okay, so maybe I've used the word "perfect" too many times, but it's true - has nature provided us with any high-protein food as versatile as the egg?
Try recipes for Right Way Scrambled Eggs, Uovos Benito, an Italian-style Eggs Benedict, or finish a meal with Zabaglione, an egg-based dessert made with Marsala wine.
Good Cooking,
