I love to use eggs for baking and cooking, but I especially love to enjoy their natural taste. In this article, I’m going to share with you a few ways to cook eggs. Note that if you are preparing eggs as a meal (for example, for breakfast), three eggs is considered a full portion.
Chef Tom FounderDisclaimer:
The decision to consume raw or undercooked eggs is totally your responsibility (including all potential health consequences), which I am not responsible for. Note that undercooked eggs are not recommended for infants, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with a compromised immune system. To prevent undercooked eating eggs, avoid any kind of egg prepared with a partially or fully runny yolk. To avoid the risk of salmonella, use pasteurized eggs only.
Properly cooked soft-boiled egg have mostly solid egg whites and egg yolks that are runny. They are best for a nutritious and delicious breakfast or snack, but they also work equally great for salads, in soups, or on top of steak or fish.
Chef Tom FounderPerfect hard boiled eggs have a solid egg with a solid yolk as well. Perfectionists will also try to target when the total center of the yolk (with a diameter of about ¼” or less) is shiny and almost runny. Hard-boiled eggs are great for sandwiches, salads, or even a quick healthy snack.
Chef Tom FounderPoached eggs are poached without the shell in water at a temperature between 170° to 190° (poaching is gentler than cooking in boiling water). The final result is a cooked egg white with a runny egg yolk. Poached eggs are considered versatile delicacies: most commonly, they are used for eggs benedict, but can also be used for salads and soups too.
Chef Tom FounderSunny Side Up Eggs are prepared on a fry pan with frying oil. Properly cooked sunny side up eggs have the whites partially or fully cooked and the yolk runny.
This kind of egg preparation is very popular and is suitable, not just for breakfast, but also for salads, toasts, and burgers.
Chef Tom FounderOver-Easy, Over-Medium, Over-Hard Fried Egg are a slightly upgraded version of a sunny-side-up egg. The preparation is similar to a sunny-side-up egg, but there is an additional flip after you reach sunny-side-up.
Chef Tom FounderScrambled eggs are prepared on a fry pan with constant stirring until done. Scrambled eggs are great as a quick snack and also like a delicious topping on toast or in a sandwich (goes great with fresh chives).
Chef Tom FounderOmelette (Omelet) is prepared on a fry pan with frying oil. After you master making them, it will be one of the easiest meals you can prepare. The main trick is to use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned regular pan.Omelets are great, not only for breakfast, but also for lunch, supper, or as a snack since they can be very filling. You can serve them with bread on the side or as a sandwich!
