World Egg Day: Working Professionals Share How Eggs Are Their Go-To Choice For A Meal

‘Omelette’, ‘sunny-side-up’, ‘scrambled eggs’, ‘French toast’, ‘shakshuka’, are not mere recipes. These dishes are in a literal sense breakfast of the champions hustling every day to reach the office on time, keep the home together, look after their family, and ensure their bodies get enough nutrition.

Eggs are one of the few ingredients in your pantry that you can use anytime for baking, preparing snacks, or cooking a meal without hassle or standing hours on one food to prepare a healthy meal. Eggitarians have it easy, break an egg in a bowl, whisk it, season it, and spread it on a hot skillet.

Eggs are indeed blessings in disguise. This World Egg Day, Slurrp connected with working professionals to bring you stories about how eggs make their lives easy. They also shared a few of their recipes that will wake up the chef inside you.

“As a foodie, I love indulging in various cuisines, but I’m also very mindful of maintaining a balanced diet, especially with my tight schedule. Eggs are my go-to solution when I need something quick, healthy, and versatile,” says Debaditya Chaudhury, Managing Director, Chowman.

“Whether it's a simple omelette or an elaborate dish, eggs always find a place in my meals. One of my favourites is the classic French toast which is both flavorful and packed with protein. It's the perfect dish to keep me fueled throughout the day,” she adds.

“Eggs are like the secret superheroes in baking—they hold everything together, add moisture, and give that perfect lift to cakes, cookies, and pastries. But they’re also tricky! Getting the right texture for things like meringues or macarons requires precision, like science in action. Even when it comes to balancing the eggy smell, a dash of flavour can make all the difference,’ says Mandeep Kaur, Founder of The Bake Lineup.

She adds, “For me, baking with eggs is where science meets creativity—and magic happens.” She makes egg pizza (surely many of you might not have heard about it). Whisk an egg with three egg whites, and top it with vegetables and seasonings for a burst of flavour. Either bake, pan-fry, or air-fry the pizza after topping with mozzarella. Every slice will be a treat for your taste buds.

“We eat eggs like anything. We consume around 300 eggs in a month,” says Ishan Kumar, Manager Business Consulting at an IT firm. He loves to add eggs to clear soups, eat boiled eggs with chilli oil, rice, and dal, and relish deviled eggs with mocktails and cocktails. His favourite egg preparation is Eggs Kejriwal.

“I drop two eggs, salt, pepper, extra butter, and some shredded cheese (optional) in the microwave at the lowest intensity for two minutes ( while I prepare other things). Just churn it a bit when it's done and you will have French scrambled eggs of the highest quality,” he says. Ishan Kumar adds that if you try to replicate his recipe, you might come across a few hits and misses but once you crack the code, it will be a part of your weekly indulgence.

Kamal Chauhan

Kamal Chauhan is a food blogger based in Delhi. His Instagram page (@delhiciousness) will guide you to find the best spots in the capital to indulge in your favourite delicacies. He is a foodie who also enjoys experimenting in the kitchen.

He says, “I used to make this fried rice with leftover boiled rice and add eggs. Follow the same steps (as we do to make fried rice) starting with adding oil, onion, turmeric and other spices. Just put 2-3 eggs on top of the vegetables, add rice, and mix. It’s a quick recipe for a heavenly meal.”

Mallika

Mallika is a PR Executive, living in Gurugram. She is a working woman who lives alone, and hence, eggs help her make quick and fulfilling breakfast spreads. “One of my favourites is a microwave mug omelette. It’s a lifesaver when I'm crunched for time — whisk an egg with a splash of milk in a mug, toss in leftover veggies or cheese, and microwave it for a minute or two. It’s like a mini, easy-to-eat omelette, but without the fuss of a pan and the horror of flipping it. It’s fast, mess-free, healthy, and perfect for those busy mornings,” she adds.
