Check out my latest article, Cracking the Code on All Things Egg, which runs through a laundry list of little-known facts about eggs.
Fresh Herb Egg White Omelet with Black Olives & Sun-Dried Tomatoes
So recently, I found myself with a bunch of spare egg whites. (Stay tuned to find out what happened to the yolks sometime later this week…) I was starving when this happened. I whipped them together quickly with a handful of stuff I had in the fridge, and…voila! A super light omelet that was packed [...]
Basic Cooking: The Secret to Perfectly Cooked Hard-Boiled Eggs
