"Lara Ferroni's cookbooks confirm my belief that great things come in small packages. This is a tight collection of well-thought out, clear, concise and easy to follow recipes for exactly the egg dish you were craving--no fluff, no filler--and a number of ways to use eggs (savory and sweet) you'd never thought about, but will be enticed to try through the photos. As with her previous books, I know I will share this with friends, gift it, and most importantly thoroughly use it."
--Kristina Gill, Design*Sponge "That Lara has chosen one of nature's miracle foods to focus on doesn't surprise me: Her egg-cellent paean to the incredible edible egg is a comprehensive yet concise curating of decadent recipes starring the golden orb, coupled with her signature gorgeous photography, each one of which is worthy of plastering on posters and screen savers. Starting with doughnuts and now with eggs, Lara is pointing her talented lens on the most delicious foods life has to offer."
--Tanya Wenman Steel, Epicurious & Gourmet.com
"The beauty of the egg is that it's an endlessly versatile ingredient, something that Lara Ferroni underscores again and again in this book... Her recipes are diverse and endlessly creative, from basic comfort foods (egg sandwiches and kimchi fried rice) to the slightly bizarre (scrambled egg-topped hot dog?!)... Through it all, there's Ferroni's signature voice, that combination of good humor and straight talk that has bolstered her readers through both of her previous books, Doughnuts and Real Snacks."

"Instantly, I fell in love with the photography and author, Lara Ferroni. She is after my heart! Finally, here's a gal who appreciates eggs and all their glory as much as I do. This cookbook is filled with a beautiful "how-to" section in the beginning. Everything that you wanted to know about cooking eggs is covered. Next, it's onto seventy delicious egg recipes! There are traditional eggs to even creative ones like eggs on hot dogs. I must also add that there are many recipes that call for less than ten ingredients. I love that! Lara makes cooking eggs appear easy, approachable, and for any level cook."
--Tilly's Nest
"Her recipes are exciting because she's taken a different approach on cooking eggs. Instead of creating a dish in which eggs are an afterthought, she has created dishes in which eggs are an integral ingredient. It's not just that you add an egg to a sauce, you create the shakshuka (Israeli eggs in peppers and tomatoes) sauce and then gently include the eggs which are as important as the tahini that is drizzled over the top... Each of the recipes are also introduced by a short story or bit of advice which makes this a book as lovely to look at as it is to read... Put an Egg on It is a sophisticated and unique approach to viewing eggs as more than just something that sits scrambled alongside bacon. Put an Egg on It is a good one which belongs in any egg lover's cookbook collection."
