Truffles, champagne and caviar – move along! There’s a new diva in town. Just in time for Easter egg hunts and seasonable patio brunches, the once humble egg has staked a formidable claim to become the culinary world’s reigning luxury ingredient du jour.
Beloved by bodybuilders, picky children, home bakers and breakfast aficionados alike, it’s no stretch to say there is no food more universally adored than the glorious egg. Even so, thanks to its traditionally omnipresent accessibility, this versatile, yet integral staple has rarely been given the star status it deserves. In fact, it is more often relegated to the role of underappreciated friend -- always content to let its more ostentatious counterparts take center stage.
Those days are (over)done. Soaring egg prices have scrambled the status quo, turning yolks into liquid gold. While once almost exclusively found by the dozen, some retailers have even begun selling singles for those not willing to shell out for a full pack.
Yet, even with no end to the shortage in sight, there is a sunny side. Long gone are the days of the powerhouse egg being underappreciated and overutilized. For anyone who cares about their nest egg, that is.
