Before we knew about cholesterol, eggs were called the 'perfect food.' Even now, eggs can save the day when extra people show up for brunch or lunch, provide a nutritious breakfast in minutes, or dress up drab sandwiches. If you have a dozen eggs in the refrigerator, you can whhip up plenty of meals in a snap, from egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs to fried egg and cheese on a biscuit.

Or, if the whole crowd is hanging out at your place to watch a game, hold off on the standard pizza in favor for eggs and the leftovers like ham, cheese, spinach, broccoli, and onions. Let everyone make their own omelet and you might start a fad for drop-in omelet parties.

Power Snack

Eggs are full of 'complete' protein and provide vitamins A, D, E, B6 and B12, along with calcium, iron, and potassium. At under a hundred calories an egg, that's an impressive array of nutrients per calorie.

Unfortunately, most of the nutrients are in the yolk which also contains the egg's cholesterol, so you can't just eat egg whites and hope to get the nutritional food. Egg's cholesterol is from unsaturated fats, so people who are on a low-cholesterol diet may need to worry about the fat content.

Testing Freshness

To test a raw egg for freshness, cover it with water. If the egg remains on the bottom, it's fresh. If it floats, it's getting old. That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, just that the egg has been around long enough for air to seep through the shell. A floating egg can be tested for edibility by cracking it open and sniffing - a spoiled egg will be very obvious to the nose.
