Today is Egg Day so I feel we need to honor these little globes of goodness.
I remember as a kid gathering eggs with my great grandmother. Then fast forward to the numerous times the chickens got out as I was gathering eggs growing up. Now it is always interesting when new free-range chickens decide to hide where they lay their eggs, a never-ending egg hunt, haha. When you do discover that location, how can you tell which eggs are good? We will get to that, but first let’s start with the history of the egg.

Eggs really are versatile. You can boil, bake, fry, whip, some even eat them raw.
I found these recipes that might give you some other interesting ways to cook an egg.

Finally for this celebration of Egg Day we should answer that age old question, which came first the chicken or the egg? I have heard arguments for both sides including the idea that only a chicken’s body could create the egg shell, but this video says the egg was the first to arrive.
