Eggs are consumed all over the world as a fairly cheap and easily obtainable source of protein to the daily diet. The simple egg can be cooked in a number of different ways - some of which are recognised worldwide, while others are used mainly as local delicacies. Salt and pepper are indispensable when eating all types of eggs while chives, onions, ketchup and tomatoes bring more enjoyment to most egg recipes. ListWoo offers you a list of the most common ways to prepare eggs, but which one is your favourite? Put in your vote in the list below.

Boil an intact egg for around 10 minutes depending on the size of the egg. Cool the egg, peel it and slice it in half. Scoop up the yolk into a bowl and mash. Mix the mashed yolk with mayonnaise, basil, a little mustard, salt and pepper. Fill the yolk mixture back into the egg white and top with sliced onion.
Bury an egg in wet clay for several weeks or months. This causes the yolk to turn green and cream-like while the white becomes jelly-like with a transparent dark brown colour. Century eggs are usually eaten without further preparation, but can be hard boiled before consumption.
