Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Egg

Take one fresh egg from the refrigerator. If you prefer your egg scrambled, beat it in a bowl. If you want it fried or boiled, proceed to the cooking steps directly.

Cooking

2

Fried Egg

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Once heated, crack the egg directly into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

3

Scrambled Egg

If you are scrambling the egg, pour the beaten egg into the skillet over medium heat. Stir continuously with a spatula for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.

4

Boiled Egg

Place the egg in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 6-8 minutes for a soft-boiled egg or 10-12 minutes for a hard-boiled egg. Once done, place the egg in cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel and season as desired.
