The Perfect Egg Recipes

Creamy and rich, eggs are one of the world’s finest gifts to the cook, delicious scrambled, poached, whisked or fried. Thus, this week’s delivery is devoted to the glorious egg, and an extra-special one at that, too, with decadent oversize duck eggs in addition to those from our own brood of heritage-breed hens. Also filled with an assortment of egg-friendly pairings—think: smoked salmon, Italian Rustica bread, and Fontina cheese to help craft an Italian-style fonduta—plus, a bevy of fresh produce like asparagus, spring ramps and buttery Hakurei turnips, this box will help you craft the perfect egg.
