Egg : Eggs 

• an ovum, the female, larger of the two gametes, that fuse in sexual reproduction, or
• a body consisting of the resulting zygote, partly nutrient for the developing organism (the yolk[?]), and partly a buffer to protect the zygote (the albumin or "egg-white").

Reptile eggs, bird eggs, and mammalian monotreme eggs are surrounded by a protective shell, either flexible or inflexible.

Eggs in Cooking

Birds' eggs are commonly regarded as a food source by non-vegans. The most-used eggs are chicken, duck and goose, but smaller eggs such as quail eggs are occasionally used as a gourmet ingredient. Eggs are frequently used in both sweet and savoury dishes as a source of protein and/or to bind the other ingredients in a recipe together. Egg-yolks contain a small amount of fat and cholesterol, and people on a low-cholesterol diet may feel the need to cut down on egg consumption, though scientists are unsure of the merit of such a move. Egg-whites consist primarily of water (⁷/₈th) and protein (¹/₈th) and contain no cholesterol or fat.

The primary cooking techniques for savoury eggs are:

• poaching
• boiling
• frying
• scrambling[?]
• omelettes
• soufflé[?]
