Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Egg

    Take the egg out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Cooking Method

    Choose your preferred cooking method (boiled, scrambled, fried, poached, etc.).

  3. 3

    Boiling the Egg

    For a boiled egg, place the egg in a saucepan and cover it with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 9-12 minutes depending on desired doneness. Remove from heat and place in cold water to stop cooking.

  4. 4

    Scrambled Egg

    For scrambled eggs, crack the egg into a bowl, whisk with a fork, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little butter or oil, and pour in the eggs. Stir gently until cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Fried Egg

    For a fried egg, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Crack the egg directly into the skillet and cook until the whites are set, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side up. Flip if you prefer over-easy or over-hard.

  6. 6

    Poached Egg

    For a poached egg, bring a pot of water to a simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
