Eggs are great. This page will contain all sorts of "basic" ways of having an
|
|
egg. Feel free to suggest more, as per the instructions on the
|
|
[homepage](/index.html).
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- eggs
|
|
- butter
|
|
- cheese(optional)
|
|
- milk (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
### Boiled eggs
|
|
|
|
1. Bring water to boil (about enough to cover the eggs when submerged).
|
|
2. Place eggs in water.
|
|
3. Keep heat high enough to keep a rolling boil, boil until desired consistency
|
|
(about 5 or less minutes for soft boiled and very runny, 8 minutes for medium
|
|
runny, 10+ for hard boiled).
|
|
|
|
Tip: if your eggs are cracking when you put them in boiling water, you might
|
|
improve your chances of them not doing so by first warming them up in warm water
|
|
for a few minutes beforehand.
|
|
|
|
### Sunny-side up
|
|
|
|
1. Heat up butter or oil on small pan.
|
|
2. Crack egg(s) into pan.
|
|
3. Cook on low heat for an evenly cooked white and runny yolk.
|
|
4. Serve seasoned with salt and pepper.
|
|
|
|
### Scrambled
|
|
|
|
1. Heat up butter or oil on pan.
|
|
2. Crack eggs into pan.
|
|
3. Start scrambling with wooden spatula.
|
|
4. Cook until desired dryness.
|
|
5. Season with salt and pepper.
|
|
|
|
### Scrambled and fluffy
|
|
|
|
1. Prepare as normal.
|
|
2. Crack eggs into pan and let them coagulate maybe twenty or thirty seconds before scrambling.
|
|
3. Use a rubber spatula to sort of scrape the egg towards the center of the pan.
|
|
You're pushing the cooked egg towards the center while letting the raw egg spill out to be cooked.
|
|
Give the egg a couple seconds to cook before pushing it back towards the center.
|
|
The more you scramble the less fluffy the egg will be.
|
|
4. Finish as normal.
|
|
|
|
Scrambled eggs are easy to customize. E.g. start by frying any of: onions, bits
|
|
of ham, mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, etc., before cracking the eggs in.
