Eggs

Eggs are a staple ingredient in Italian cuisine, used in various dishes to add flavor, richness, and texture. One classic egg-based dish is the frittata, a hearty and flavorful omelet that can be filled with a wide range of ingredients, including fried leftover spaghetti. Another popular dish is the torte salate, a savory Italian pie made with eggs, cheese, and other ingredients like vegetables, cured meats, and herbs. Not to forget the fresh homemade pasta made with eggs and semolina flour. And for those with a sweet tooth, eggs can also be used in various delicious desserts, including meringue-based treats like pavlova Monte Bianco and Italian meringue buttercream frosting.
