197 Eggs Recipes From 80 Cuisines.

The most versatile ingredient in any kitchen — binder, leavener, sauce base, garnish and main course in one shell. World cooking is full of egg signatures: the soft-boiled ajitama on a bowl of ramen, shakshuka in North Africa, tortilla española in Spain. A 6½-minute boil gives the jammy yolk most of those dishes rely on. Buy the freshest you can for poaching; slightly older eggs peel easier when boiled.
