With Eggs, You're Prepared

A Complete Food
Eggs have long been considered a 'complete' food. While that is a bit of an exaggeration, they certainly do pack a lot of nutritional value in a very small space.
Eggs are a source of significant amounts of protein and are much more economical than protein's most common source: meat. Eggs are also an excellent substitute for meat, except for people who need to limit their cholesterol intake. For most people, an egg dish in lieu of meat two to three times a week is a healthy swap.
Safety Concerns for Egg Sandwich Recipes
Although rare, salmonella is a risk associated with eating eggs. Today's salmonella infections come from eggs produced by hens infected with the bacteria. Since the bacteria is actually inside the egg, washing or disinfecting it won't solve the problem. Most of the infected chickens on the East Coast have been identified and eliminated, but you need to recognize the possibility of salmonella poisoning when deciding how to cook eggs.
Salmonella is destroyed by cooking, so recipes that keep eggs raw are the riskiest - runny-yolk and poached eggs, for example.
Many healthy people can get infected with the salmonella bacteria and suffer little or no effects. It is most dangerous to the very young and old, and those with compromised immune systems. Weigh the risks before deciding how to prepare eggs.
Since most egg sandwich recipes require thoroughly cooked eggs, this is a great way to enjoy them without the worry of salmonella.
