Fried and slipped into a sandwich with a slice or four of crispy bacon; scrambled with a pinch of salt and pepper and plonked on top of some buttery toast; poached in the middle of a tangy tomato-and-pepper shakshuka sauce: There can be little argument that eggs done right are as tasty as they are nutritious.

It gets better: According to researchers at Loma Linda University Health in the United States, regular, but moderate, consumption of eggs can reinforce cognitive abilities.
