Method 📖
Boiled Egg
1. Bring a pot of water to the boil.
2. Once boiling, place your egg into the slotted spoon.
3. Lower into the boiling water.
For the results:
4 minutes: Slightly set yolk
5 minutes: Medium cooked
6 minutes: Hard-boiled and soft yolk
8 minutes: Hard-boiled yolk
Poached Egg
1. Using the same pot of boiling water.
2. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of white vinegar into the water.
3. Crack and check the egg.
4. Using a slotted spoon/pasta spider, whirl the water around.
5. Add the egg in the middle of the whirl.
For a runny yolk: 3 minutes
For a set yolk, runny middle: 4 minutes
For a firm yolk: 5 minutes
Remove using the slotted spoon/spider & lay on a paper towel.
Fried Egg
1. Using a pan, add in a tablespoon of butter or margarine and melt it.
2. Crack and check the egg
3. Add the egg to the pan and cover with a lid
The timing depends on the pan. Check if your egg is cooked how you like it.
For a soft egg yolk, turn the pan off as soon as the white changes from translucent to white, keeping the lid on, lifting after a few minutes.
For a well-cooked fried egg, allow the yolk to be cooked and turn bright yellow, then turn the pan off, keeping the lid on, lifting after a few minutes.
Omelette
1. Crack and check two eggs.
2. Beat together to ensure that the white and yellow are well mixed.
3. Melt butter or margarine in a pan.
4. Using a spatula, scrape the sides away from the pan and slightly lift the pan to allow the runny parts to run to the sides of the pan.
5. Using the spatula fold over.
French Toast Versus Eggy Bread

2. Add milk to the eggs and whisk together in a flattish bowl.
3. Dip your bread into the mixture on both sides.
4. Melt margarine or butter into a pan.
5. Add the dipped bread and fry until it is brown.
6. Using a spatula, flip the bread over to cook and brown the other side.
7. Remove from the pan onto a plate.
8. Mix the icing/caster sugar and cinnamon together and lightly sprinkle on one of the breads to make French toast.
