Egg Shop: The Cookbook

by Nick Korbee

An appealing, stunningly designed full-color cookbook featuring more than 100 recipes for favorite food and drinks from the Egg Shop, New York City’s beloved all-hours brunch-and-cocktails hangout.

For first-time restaurateurs Demetri Makoulis and Sarah Schneider and chef/partner Nick Korbee, eggs aren’t just an easy, protein-packed breakfast go-to, but an extraordinary complement to New York’s wealth of local produce and artisanal meats, grains, and cheeses. With Egg Shop anyone can create their delicious Egg Shop experience at home—whether it’s a quiet breakfast for one or a boozy brunch for twenty.

Inside you’ll find proper egg-cooking techniques as well as instructions on incorporating eggs into super-delicious dishes from the health-conscious to the decadent, using fresh, delicious homemade seeded rye bread, the best-quality bacon, and the perfect melting cheese. After mastering the most common and useful egg cooking methods (scrambled, poached, fried) Nick Korbee teaches you how to unlock egg superpowers—coddling them in Mason jars full of truffle oil and basting them with coffee-infused compound chocolate-bacon butter.

Egg Shop includes flavorful favorites like Eggs Caviar, Classic Eggs Benedict, Pop’s Double Stuffed, Double Fluffed American Omelet, Egg Shop Egg Salad, and The Perfect Sunny Up. Nick shows how to build on those basics to create sandwiches, bowls, and other egg-citing dishes such

I was super excited to look at this cookbook. It's super pretty. But, when I started to try the recipes, I realized that they are not designed for a home cook. Each step of every process was a different pot, was made with overly complicated procedures, and seemed to have a lot of filler. A full cup of mayonnaise for 6 deviled eggs? No thank you.

So many great recipes. I did have to give them the sideeye for putting meringue on their key lime pie. #stopit

The food looks great, but like most restaurant cookbooks, it expects me to spend three days making components for every recipe. That works fine in a restaurant when you are going to make hundreds of egg sandwiches but not at home when you are going to make one or two sandwiches. When I'm eating eggs, it's because I want the cooking to be quick and simple! I also didn't appreciate the "edgy" tone of the writing.

Not 3 minutes or less

You love eggs as a meal? So do these guys. The most compelling theme is eggs as the center stage, but with other facets prepared to go with them (often needing more skill and time, but worth it). Very useful addition to the library!

pretty good, some recipes not super practical for the average home cook, but fun to flip through and nice recipes

Breakfast is the best!

A rather random list of recipes involving eggs, but with no clear structure. I'm sure there's no recipe the Internet hasn't seen in at least 3 versions.

Lots of fun snarky lines, gorgeous photo series, and everything you want to know about cooking eggs.

Great recipes. Would rather go to the shop than make myself

Nice pictures, inventive recipes.
One star reduction for too many self referential recipes and needing to flip to multiple other recipes to make one item.
