10 ways to cook an egg!

Fried – Put about 1 tbsp. butter or margarine in a frying pan on Medium heat. Let it melt and get hot. When a drop of water thrown onto the pan sizzles then crack the egg over the frying pan and drop the whole egg (minus the shell) onto the pan. Let the egg cook until the white turns white and no longer transparent. Turn with spatula.

Sunny-side Up – Same as fried, but don’t turn the eggs over. Let them cook an extra 30-60 seconds then remove with spatula.

Scrambled – Break an egg into a bowl. Add about a tablespoon of milk. Whip with a fork until blended. Pour into hot, optionally greased frying pan. Mix with a spatula while cooking.

Hard-boiled – put the egg with it's shell in a pot of water. Water should cover the eggs, at least. Bring to a boil. After the water is boiling, boil eggs for 20 minutes. When 20 minutes are up, remove the pan from the stove and pour out the boiling water. place under the tap of cold water  for several minutes, until they are cool to the touch.
Soft-boiled – Boil water in a pot. After the water is boiling, add eggs in shells.  boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from water and run under cool water for about a minute. Carefully remove from shell (the yolk is still soft!) and put the egg into a bowl. Eat with a spoon or sop up with bread or toast.

Fried in Bread – Cut or tear a hole in a piece of bread. Place in frying pan (with butter or grease, if desired). Crack egg into the hole. Fry as normal, turning once (can’t do sunny-side up this way).

Deviled Eggs –  Slice a hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the yolks into a bowl. Add about ½ tbsp. mayonnaise to the yolks. Mix with a fork until fairly smooth. Using the fork, put a scoop of the filling back into the hollows created in the whites. Can sprinkle paprika on top prior to serving.

Omelette – Whip eggs in a bowl, without milk (or shells!). Pour into a large skillet or omelette pan. Let cook until it’s a solid disc. Add omelette fixings (cheese, veggies, pre-cooked meat, etc.) to one side of the disc. Fold the other side over the filling side. Let the cheese melt and stick everything together. Serve hot.

Scramblers – Make scrambled eggs, but put spices in egg mixture before scrambling, and add fixings (meat, veggies, cheese) when the eggs are almost done.

Easter Eggs – Dip hard-boiled eggs in egg dye: 1 tbsp. white vinegar, 1 cup boiling hot water, food coloring as directed on the box.
