Ah, eggs—the ultimate versatile ingredient! 🥚 They can be breakfast, protein-packed snacks, or the base for countless recipes. Here’s a quick guide:
🥘 Ways to Cook Eggs
1. Scrambled
- Whisk eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently until soft and creamy.
2. Fried
- Heat a little oil or butter in a skillet.
- Cook sunny-side up, over-easy, or over-hard depending on how you like the yolk.
3. Boiled
- Place eggs in cold water, bring to boil, then simmer:
- Soft-boiled: 6–7 minutes
- Medium: 8–9 minutes
- Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
- Cool in ice water and peel.
4. Omelette / Frittata
- Beat eggs, pour into a hot skillet, add veggies, cheese, or meat, fold or bake until set.
5. Baked / Shakshuka
- Crack eggs over tomato sauce or veggies and bake until just set—delicious for brunch.
💡 Tips:
- Adding a splash of milk or cream to scrambled eggs makes them creamier.
- Fresh eggs are best for poaching—they hold their shape better.
