Breakfast

Essential breakfast Tips

Eggs:

Eggs are not just a breakfast staple – they’re one of nature’s most perfect foods. Packed with high-quality protein (containing all essential amino acids), vitamins, and minerals, eggs offer exceptional nutritional value. They are considered the gold standard for protein quality, with a biological value of 100, making them the most bioavailable protein source for human consumption.

Cooking Times for Perfect Eggs:

• Soft-Boiled: 5-6 minutes (runny yolk)
• Medium-Boiled: 7-8 minutes (slightly firm yolk)
• Hard-Boiled: 9-10 minutes (fully cooked yolk)
• Poached Eggs: 3 minutes in simmering water
• Scrambled Eggs: 2-3 minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly
• Sunny-Side Up: 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat
• Over Easy: 2 minutes first side, 30 seconds after flipping
• Omelet: 2-3 minutes total cooking time

Pro Tips:

• Always start with room temperature eggs for even cooking
• For boiled eggs, place in cold water after cooking to prevent grey ring around yolk and make peeling easier and faster
• For poaching, add a splash of vinegar to the water to help whites set
• For the fluffiest scrambled eggs, beat in a small amount of milk or cream
• Season eggs after cooking to prevent watery results
