A Yellow Eye on Your Plate!By Colleen Messina

I am often thought of as a breakfastfood. I can be eaten in many forms. If Iam made sunny side up, a bright yelloweye will look at you from your plate.This yellow "eye" is called a yolk. Youcan eat me at different times of day. Ican be fried and scrambled forbreakfast. I can also be poached orboiled. Sometimes I am even coddled!You would not want to cuddle thiscoddled food, however! Being coddledmeans being slightly cooked. I can bedeviled or made into a salad. I have myown "carrying case," but you still need to carry me carefully. Youwould not want to eat my shell. What am I?
