Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- For boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil for 6-12 minutes depending on your desired doneness.
- For scrambled eggs, whisk eggs with salt and pepper, heat butter in a pan, add the eggs, and stir until just set.
- For fried eggs, heat a small amount of butter in a pan over medium-high heat, crack in the eggs, and cook until the whites are set and the yolk is at your preference.
- For poached eggs, simmer water with a splash of vinegar, create a whirlpool, and gently drop in the eggs, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until whites are set.
- For baked eggs, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), crack eggs into a greased ramekin, season, and bake for about 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Fresh eggs are best for poaching as they hold their shape better.
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to scrambled eggs.
- Experiment with seasonings and herbs to elevate the flavor.
