About Egg wash

Egg wash is a mixture made by whisking raw eggs, sometimes with added water, milk, or cream, depending on the recipe. Commonly used in baking and cooking, it has origins in European cuisine, where it enhances the appearance and texture of pastries, bread, and pie crusts by giving them a glossy, golden finish when baked. While egg wash contributes minimal nutritional value, the eggs provide small amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Variations with cream or milk add fat content, which should be considered for dietary needs. Egg wash is typically used in small quantities, so its impact on calorie intake is negligible for most recipes. However, individuals with egg allergies or dietary restrictions should avoid it or seek alternative options like plant-based washes. As a versatile culinary tool, egg wash elevates both presentation and quality without substantially altering a dish's nutritional profile.
