Whether you’re making eggs for the first time or if you’re an experienced egg cook, there are a number of steps to follow to make sure that they’re cooked correctly. From the temperature of the water to the temperature of the egg, here’s everything you need to know to make delicious, boiled eggs.
Boiled eggs
Whether you are looking for a tasty snack or a nutritious addition to your next salad, a boiled egg can be an excellent choice. These easy-to-make and tasty treats are also a great source of high-quality protein. In fact, each large egg has around 70 calories, so it’s a good idea to add them to your diet on a daily basis.
The secret to cooking perfect boiled eggs lies in timing. The longer you wait to cook the eggs, the less they’ll absorb. Similarly, reheating a boiled egg can lead to an overcooked egg. To prevent these pitfalls, try to plan ahead and buy your eggs a few days before you need them.
Shakshuka
Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or simply for yourself, Shakshuka is a delicious and easy way to cook eggs. This one-pan dish is full of flavor and can be served with your choice of bread. It’s also a great vegetarian option for a protein-packed breakfast or lunch.
To make Shakshuka, you first need to make the sauce. It can be made with a variety of ingredients, including tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and spices. For more of a spicier shakshuka, you can add red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika.
To make the tomato sauce, you’ll need a large skillet. This pan should have a lid and you’ll want to line the bottom with a kitchen towel. This will help to capture any condensation that builds up during the steaming process.
After you have poured the sauce into the skillet, you’ll want to crack the eggs into the pan. Then you’ll need to mix the eggs and tomato mixture together. This will help to cook the eggs through.
Then you’ll want to let the tomatoes and vegetables simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is cooked, you’ll want to add in your bell pepper and onion. This should be done after you’ve added the paprika. Then you’ll need to season the meat with salt and pepper.
Once you have your vegetables and meat mixed in, you’ll want to cook them with the tomatoes for 15 minutes. You can also swap out some of the veggies. You can use feta cheese or a combination of peppers, onion, and bell pepper.
Over-medium
Whether you are frying up some eggs for breakfast or dinner, you can’t go wrong with over medium eggs. They come in many varieties from pancakes to sandwiches. They can be served with just about anything. You can add some cheese to the mix for a deluxe breakfast. And best of all, they are quick and easy to make.
Over-medium eggs are simple to make. All you need is a non-stick pan, some cooking oil, and a few minutes. In fact, you should preheat the pan for at least 5 minutes before you start.
First, you’ll want to be sure the pan is sprayed with enough butter to cover the bottom. This is to ensure the eggs don’t stick to the pan. Then, you’ll need to season the egg with salt and pepper.
You’ll also need to pre-heat the oil or butter for a couple of minutes. Finally, you’ll want to make sure the frying pan is low enough to prevent the eggs from burning. You can do this by turning the heat down slightly. If you are using a cast iron skillet, you may want to increase the oil or butter.
Aside from the usual condiments, you’ll need a fork or a spoon. The fork should be used to poke the egg and let the liquid trickle down. This can help you see how much liquid the egg has.
Finally, you’ll need to flip the egg. Doing so will not only make the dish look more appealing, it’ll also help the yolk not break.
Over-hard
Whether you’re looking for a healthy breakfast or a quick snack, over-hard eggs are a delicious choice. They’re also a cheap source of protein and are Whole30 compliant.
To make over-hard eggs, you’ll need a skillet and some butter. The key is to cook the eggs slowly and thoroughly to prevent them from overcooking. When the yolk is firm and the whites are opaque, you’re done. If you prefer a runny egg, you can add a little extra cooking time.
Once you’ve made your eggs, they can be refrigerated for up to two days. They’re also perfect for sandwiches. You can reheat them in a pan for a few minutes per side.
To start, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little butter to coat the bottom of the pan. When the butter has melted, add the eggs. Use a spatula or fork to break up the egg. This will help distribute the yolk throughout the egg. Once you’ve cooked the egg, turn the pan over to let the egg cool.
After a couple minutes, flip the egg. When you flip it, remove the pan from the heat. You can also place the egg under a lid for a few minutes to keep the yolk from overcooking.
To finish, you can top your eggs with cheese or bacon grease. The extra flavor from the bacon grease will help give your egg that extra crispiness. You can also sprinkle additional seasoning on your eggs to add even more flavor.
