How to cook eggs

Eggs are great value, high in protein and one of the most versatile foods around.
Poached, scrambled, boiled, fried, or made into an omelette, eggs need never get boring. 

Eggs have many other uses - they can be used to glaze pastry, to thicken sauces, as a raising agent in meringues and soufflés and to set custards and batters.

Dressed up or pared down, make eggs your go-to for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

It's good news for lovers of eggs. Contrary to popular belief, there's no recommended
limit on how many you should eat.

 Advice from the NHS is that if you eat a balanced diet, you only need to cut down if your doctor has told you to.

Nutrition-wise it's best to cook and eat eggs without adding salt or fat. Using a low-calorie method like poaching or boiling can reduce fat content by around 50%.

Hen's eggs

A popular every day egg and a great all rounder. 
 

Braddock White duck eggs
Larger than hen's eggs with creamier yolks. Their light texture and
rich flavour makes them ideal for cakes 
  
Blue duck eggs

Slightly smaller than their white counterparts with a less intense flavour.
Great for baking, their subtle taste works a treat for breakfast dishes too.

Quail eggs
Dainty – ideal for bite-sized scotch eggs, simple canapés or delicate salads.
Boil for just 30 seconds for a soft yolk.

Turkey eggs
Laid from April to June, these are a treat, with a large yolk-to-white ratio.
Try them poached (5 - 6 minutes).
