Ingredients for Eggs

Method

Directions for Cooking Eggs

  1. 1

    To Poach Eggs

    Bring water and vinegar to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    To Scramble Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula until they are softly set but still creamy. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

  3. 3

    To Fry Eggs

    Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs directly into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set and the edges are crispy, about 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up or flip for over-easy. Season with salt and pepper.
