THE HUMBLE, YET MIGHTY EGG

Almost all of us have eaten eggs at some point in our lives and many of us reach for the egg carton first thing in the morning. Apart from making bacon and eggs, why is it that eggs are called for in so many recipes? What is it about eggs that keep us hungry for more?

Well, for one, eggs are a complete protein checking off all the essential amino acids. Eggs also have a number of B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, minerals, and other nutrients you can easily look up online. They’re nutritious, they keep us full, and they’re relatively inexpensive.

We don’t usually think about these things when we fry, scramble, or poach these edible gems. They’re humble in that they’re depended on, yet overlooked. When’s the last time you’ve been grateful for eggs? During rationing in WWII, eggs were a precious commodity and unless folks kept their own chickens, dried egg powder took the forefront. Gross. Indeed, eggs are humble, but they’re also mighty.

DID YOU SAY GARLIC DEVILLED EGGS?

Garlic devilled eggs, huh? They’re not that garlicky, but they do add a small little punch of flavour that is quite enjoyable. It’s like the secret ingredient in a sought-after recipe, the small addition that makes a big difference. I mean, you’re welcome to add more garlic to your batch if you really want to step things up, but we’re taking these to a potluck. We don’t want to give anyone garlic breath, do we?
