Eggs: facts and recipes

I am just crazy when it comes to eggs. I liked them boiled, fried, poached, oven baked, frittatas, omelettes. And yes, i eat the yolk too. I am not a white-egg-only person. Eggs are considered to be one of the earths healthiest food as it contains almost every essential vitamin and mineral that our  body needs to function.

One of the biggest nutritional myths is that eating eggs raises your cholesterol levels. The dietary cholesterol in eggs has very little to do with the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood stream. Cholesterol is an essential fat and the amount of cholesterol is very strictly regulated, and if there is too little cholesterol that is assumed by the diet the body produces it itself.  

Here come some of my favorite egg recipes of the moment :
