Turns out, the fridge is indeed the best place for your eggs—food safety experts confirm it keeps them fresher and reduces the risk of contamination. If you've been leaving them on the counter (like many Europeans do), you might want to rethink that habit.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just about preference—it's about avoiding foodborne illnesses. Different countries handle eggs differently (like washing them in the U.S. versus not in Europe), which affects storage rules. Knowing the right way matters for keeping your breakfast both tasty and safe.
