Hard-boil it: Swedish egg, dill and beet sandwich

Soft boil it: Shoyu eggs

A perfect hard-boiled egg may be 12 minutes, but a perfect soft-boiled egg? Just half the time. Get the recipe.

Poach it: Eggs over sautéed greens and toast

When properly poached, the white is cooked but remains very tender and subtle, far from the rubbery texture that can accompany a fried egg. We like them best over crisp toast, sauteed greens and prosciutto. Get the recipe.

Separate the whites: Pavlova

Whip those egg whites to make meringue. Crispy, chewy and sweet (a killer combination) they're easily dressed up with whipped cream and juicy fresh fruit. Get the recipe.

Separate the yolks: Lemony hollandaise

You used the whites, but now what should you do the yolks? Make a hollandaise! This brunch favourite is beautiful over sautéed asparagus or a poached egg (eggs benny, anyone?). Get the recipe.

Scramble it: Scrambled eggs

Whether you're in a hurry, or you just prefer your yolks and your whites homogeneous, the classic scamble can do no wrong. Get the recipe.


 

We love eggs - they're great for a leisurely weekend brunch yet fast enough to scramble on a weekday morning for a protein boost.

Temper it: Carbonara

Stirring your eggs (or yolks) quickly with hot pasta water gets you that signature rich and creamy coating on your carbonara's noodles. Get the recipe.
