Eggs are a kitchen superstar, endlessly versatile, filling and delicious. They underpin countless recipes, from omelettes to Scotch eggs and shakshuka, and elevate so many more – topping a dish with a fried egg is always a good idea, as far as we're concerned. The quality of the eggs you choose is essential, a topic Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® is something of an expert on. They produce award-winning eggs, working with a family of trusted farms to guarantee consistent quality.

We've been working with them to put their eggs centre stage – below, you'll find stunning recipes which let their vibrant amber yolks shine, as well as crowd-pleasing classics which will go down a treat whoever you're cooking for. But that's not all – we've also tasked our chefs with dreaming up new recipes, and you'll find their fantastic brunch creations below. If you're interested in getting to grips with curing egg yolks, meanwhile, don't miss our feature with all your need-to-knows – it's much easier than you think.

Showstopping yolks

A pop of amber adds vibrancy to any dish, as these stunning recipes show. Our version of the famous Georgian kachapuri bread is topped with an oozing yolk from a Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® - the perfect centrepiece for a special brunch or family occasion. Or how about treating yourself or your loved one to a steak tartare topped with a golden yolk for the perfect oozy texture? Our recipe comes with frites tossed with garlic, parsley and lemon zest for the perfect side. There's also Turkish ezme inspired salad of roasted vegetables and perfectly hard boiled eggs, finished with a tangy sumac dressing. All are showstoppers – they'll impress whether you're cooking for a crowd or treating yourself at home.

Cracking crowd pleasers

Sometimes we just need a hearty, easy meal that will see everyone clear their plates. Our avocado toast with grated egg and everything bagel seasoning is just that; a richer take on avocado toast, it's made with a perfectly boiled then grated Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® and topped with a super savoury seasoning. There's also our cannellini beans with charred Tenderstem, a flavour-packed sundried tomato sauce and a perfectly poached egg. Or how about our egg bhurji, a wonderfully spiced version of scrambled eggs; served with warm parathas and paneer cooked in brown butter, this is a guaranteed hit. 

 

Ingredient focus: cured egg yolk

Cured egg yolks have become chefs' go-to garnish and a pantry staple for home cooks – find out more about the delicious ingredient and how to make them at home.

Beautiful brunches

Brunch is nothing without eggs! Richard Bainbridge tops a soft-boiled Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® egg with a fragrant vanilla caramel and serves it with crunchy slices of toasted pain au chocolat – perfect if you have a sweet tooth. Meanwhile, Anna Søgaard pairs eggs with buttery leeks, spring green and spinach for her take on shakshuka, and Jozef Rogulski bakes a rosti with thyme-infused butter before finishing it with a beautifully poached egg.
