This is neat, and Omega has asked me to talk about eggs, so.....eggs it is!! I personally love eggs, they're versatile, delicious, easy to cook and difficult to screw up too badly. Eggs are also nutritious and has a very high absorption rate. There are a few ways to eat eggs, but the most simple are boiled, scrambled, poached and fried. With some oil and a non-stick skillet, you can have a delicious meal any time of the day. [b]Boiled[/b] There are three types of boiled eggs, soft, medium and hard. For the purpose of this thread I'm going going to talk about hard boiled, since it's I feel the easiest. You'll need a pot, some water, a burner or stove, and duh, eggs. [list=1] [*]Put the number of eggs you want to boil in a pot, I'd say use a small pot for up to 4 eggs.[/*] [*]Cover the eggs with cold water until they're submerged. Cover the pot with a lid.[/*] [*]Put the pot over medium heat. Turn off the heat once the water is bubbling boiling.[/*] [*]Keep the lid on and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 7-10 minutes. The eggs will be perfectly boiled.[/*] [/list] [b]Scrambled[/b] This is one of the simplest ways to eat eggs fast, and again, any time of the day! For one person, you'll need 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, personally I use coconut, but butter is also good, and a splash of milk or water. Salt and pepper would be good for seasoning. [list=1] [*]Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat, melt the butter and/or heat the oil up. Oil is hot enough when a drop of water sizzles.[/*] [*]Crack the eggs into a bowl, mix in salt and pepper and a splash of milk or water. The milk adds flavour but both liquids will add volume to the eggs, making them more fluffy.[/*] [*]Once the oil/butter is hot enough, pour in the eggs and let the bottom firm up. If you like fluffy soft eggs, start stirring the egg in the pan immediately until it's a fluffy lump. If you like your eggs more firm, then let the bottom firm up then slowly flip the eggs, breaking them into bite size pieces.[/*] [*]Serve with bacon, salsa, fruit, or just eat them plain![/*] [/list] [b]Poached[/b] Poached eggs are delicious, but they're somewhat difficult to make unless you're extremely patient. There is an easy way to do it though, they don't turn out as round as in restaurants, but they're just as good. [list=1] [*]Fill a non-stick pan with about 2 inches of water. Heat the water over medium heat until you see bubbles on the bottom of the pan, but the water isn't boiling.[/*] [*]Crack open an egg and gently drop it into the water, try not to disturb the eggs as much as possible. Wait until all the whites have turned from clear to milky white, then scoop it out with a spoon. One that won't damage your non-stick pan.[/*] [*]Poach eggs one at a time if you're new at this, two max since any more will drop the water temperature.[/*] [*]Serve on toast, with fruit, or just eat them straight out of a spoon. [/*] [/list] [b]Fried[/b] Fried eggs and bacon is one of my favourite breakfasts. Easy as hell to do and yet never fails to impress. To make the eggs extra good, cook bacon in the pan first, just heat the pan and lay down strips, then drain the bacon on a piece of paper towel and save the bacon grease. [list=1] [*]Heat pan over medium heat, if you've just cooked bacon in the pan then scrape out the black bits from the bacon first.[/*] [*]Heat up two tablespoons of cooking oil or bacon fat or butter in the pan.[/*] [*]Crack open two eggs and drop them gently into the heated pan. The egg whites should start to cook up immediately. Turn the heat down to low to prevent burning. Cook untl all the white is solid. Cover with lid and cook the top of the yolk as well if you prefer over easy.[/*] [*]Serve with bacon, fruit, on toast, or whichever. [/*] [/list] There are countless more ways to cook eggs, but those are the most basic ones, they also require the least amount of time and effort and you can do them with minimal pantry supplies. Hope this helps!
