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 crispy Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker® eggs above are coated in a crunchy, moreish Parmesan coating – just look at those oozy yolks. There's also our vivid green spaghetti, finished with a chilli gremolata and a golden egg yolk, and our delicious fried chicken sandwich, which is crowned with a spicy, honey-cured yolk and served with furikake-sprinkled chips. 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 cowboy beans are just that; a spicier, richer take on baked beans, they're made with chocolate and coffee and topped with a perfectly fried Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker®. There's also our Japanese tamago sando, packed with a fine, rich eggy filling and a gorgeous egg in the centre for extra yolky goodness, and our cheesy, crispy egg in a hole, with plenty of Italian scamorza. 

 

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, as our chefs have been busy proving. 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.
