What’s In
Eggs are an important building block in many food recipes, which is why so
many cuisines emphasize their importance. A recipe may call for yolks, whites, or
the whole depending on its desired outcome.
What’s New
Collect pictures of egg dishes and try to identify what culinary use of egg is
applied. Share your work in class.
What is It
Ingredients for Egg Dishes
Scrambled Eggs
Serve with toasted bread Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 10 ml vegetable oil
- pinch of salt if desired
- pepper
- 40 ml of low-fat milk

Method:
1. Sieve the flour in a bowl and make a hole at the center of the flour and drop
egg with ¼ of the milk.
2. Stir the egg mixture with wooden spoon.
3. Add the rest of the milk slowly, beating well to avoid lumping.
4. Pour a thin layer of the mixture on a hot, non-stick pan.
5. Use a spatula to turn the pancake over when bubbles start to appear on top.

- pinch of salt and pepper if required
- 4 eggs

2. Add the onions and cook until soft.
3. Add the red pepper, cook for 5 minutes.
4. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add salt and pepper.
5. Stir he potatoes, parsley and fried vegetables into the egg mixtures.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the heated frying pan spread evenly to the edge
7. Cook for 5 minutes until the egg mixture comes away from the side of the
pan.
8. Place the pan under a preheated moderate grill for about 3 minutes to cook
the top of the omelette.
Due to their high fat content, yolks add flavor and emulsifying power to any
batter. Fatty yolks enrich the flavor of many pastries and create a velvety texture.
Additionally, the yolk uniquely binds liquids and fats together through an emulsion
process. In cremes or custards, yolks add thickening when warmed gently over low
heat.
Whites can be whipped to create a stable foam that is often used as a leavening
agent in more delicate goods. Sponge cake, for example, uses whipped whites for a
lift. Whites can also be whipped with sugar to make meringue.
The perfect cake requires a balance of elements. Excess flour, for example,
causes dryness, and excess cocoa creates bitterness. Similarly, you must use caution
when substituting yolk for white or vice versa. Too much yolk can overwhelm a dish
with "eggy" flavor, and their tenderizing function weakens a cake's structure. Too
much white, on the other hand, will create an awkward batter and a dry cake.
Using the whole egg gives you the best of both worlds. They carry many of the
emulsifying properties of yolks and act as excellent binding agents in batters.
Additionally, they combine with starchy elements like flour to coagulate and form the
structure of baked goods, and they contribute to the wonderful golden-brown color
and moist texture of many pastries.
