Eggs · Food pairing guide
What goes with Egg?
Egg is composed of approximately 75% water, 13% high-quality proteins and 10–11% lipids, with the fat concentrated almost entirely in the yolk. The white contains albumen proteins responsible for coagulation and foaming, while the yolk provides lecithin, phospholipids and emulsifying capacity.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Egg?
Egg pairs exceptionally well with asparagus, black truffle, butter, mushrooms, Parmesan, spinach, smoked salmon, chive, potato and bacon. Its relatively neutral flavour and functional capacity to bind, enrich, foam and emulsify make it one of the most versatile ingredients in savoury and sweet cooking.
