When I was young I was always asked “if you were trapped on an island and could only have one thing what would it be?” and I would say “eggs” because with eggs you can do so many different things. Here are some examples of different things that you can do with your eggs.
1. Hard Boiled: The easiest thing that you can do is hard boil them. All you need to do is get a pot and add some water then let it boil. Drop in your egg, and boil it for fifteen to twenty minutes. When it’s done peel the egg and add a sprinkle of salt.
2. Salad Flavor: Now the next thing you can do is the same as the first, only when it’s done peel the shell and cut the egg up and add it to a salad. It will add great flavor to it.
3. Poached: Next is poached, this is also very simple to do, bring a pot of water to boiling, crack two eggs open and drop them in the boiling water. Boil from three to five minutes depending on desired consistency. Get two pieces of bread and toast it, then when you get your eggs out put them on your toast, it should still be a little runny. Add some salt and enjoy.
4. The next cool thing to do with eggs is fried. Take out a frying pan and add one tablespoon of butter. Turn the burner on medium heat. When the butter is melted, crack open the eggs and let them drop into the pan. Let them cook on one side for one minute then flip. Let cook on that side for one minute. When they are finished slide them onto a plate.
5. Now we are going to make scrambled eggs. Take out a small bowl. Take two eggs and crack them into the bowl. Add a splash of milk, and mix well. Now you can do the same as number four, add the butter to the frying pan and after the butter is melted, add the egg mixture. Constantly stirring while the eggs are cooking. This will make them nice and fluffy. When they are finished add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
6. Egg Salad is also a great egg recipe. The first thing you need to do is hard boil four eggs using the directions from number one above. Boil your eggs for fifteen to twenty minutes. When they are done peel and put into a medium sized bowl. Take a fork and mix up until crumbly. Next add half cup mayonnaise, two tablespoons garlic powder, two tablespoons onion powder, a pinch of salt and pepper, one tablespoon mustard or mustard powder, and one teaspoon white vinegar. Mix all ingredients together. Now you can add your egg salad to bread or toast.
7. Next is deviled eggs. For this you will need four eggs hard boiled and peeled. Set them into a small bowl until cooled. Now take a knife and cut the eggs long ways in half. Scoop out the yellow part into a small bowl. Set the egg whites aside. Mix yokes and four tablespoons of mayonnaise, until it appears smooth. Next mix in one tablespoon garlic powder, one tablespoon onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. When you are finished mixing all of the ingredients together, take a spoon and scoop up a spoonful and put it in the egg half. Once you have all of the filling added to each egg half sprinkle paprika over all of the eggs. Set in the refrigerator for one hour or serve immediately.
These are just a few ideas that you can do with your eggs. There are so many ways to cook and enjoy your eggs. I hope you will try these ideas and serve them to your friends and family members.
