]]> Everyone loves breakfast in bed. It’s a great way to start a day and shows a lot of thought and consideration has gone into the act. Here’s a special breakfast that you can make for that special someone.

Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a wonderful staple of a cooked breakfast. To make them extra special, cook them with a bit of butter and olive oil to get a great flavor and texture. Add your salt and pepper at the end to get the most flavor and avoid discoloring your eggs.

Sauteed Kale

Kale is a delicious addition to your cooked breakfast and adds some vibrant color to the plate. To cook it, all you need to do is cook it in a bit of olive oil for 6 minutes and squeeze some lemon juice and black pepper over it to get the best flavor out of it.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are not everyone’s bag, but if your special someone likes them they make a great addition. To get the best results, fry them in a small amount of oil for about 10 minutes and once they release their water, add some salt and dried thyme to season them. Let them cook in their water until it is reabsorbed.

Hash Browns

Hash browns are a classic breakfast treat and you can pop them in the oven for 20 minutes whilst you prepare the rest of the breakfast. You can also put some mayonaisse or ketchup on the plate to dip them in!

Fried Tomatoes

Fried tomatoes are very healthy and delicious and bring a lot to the color palette of your plate. Cut a medium tomato in half and fry in olive oil for about 5 minutes on each side. Enjoy!

]]> The famous bacon-and-eggs breakfast is a key part of American food culture, and has been for a long time now. But while we’re used to thinking about traditions, and especially food-related traditions that have deep cultural roots, the origin story behind this one is slightly different.

It turns out that the American tradition of eating bacon and eggs for breakfast is the result of no other than a successful marketing campaign! The campaign was generated in the 1920s by none other than PR professional Edward Bernays, who also happened to be the nephew of the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud.

A Funny Story

In short: blame Freud (this seems to apply to many things in life, doesn’t it?). Well, allegedly, he was the one to initially recommend a full breakfast to his nephew. But to be honest, if you’re looking for anyone to blame, it should probably be Bernays.

As a PR consultant to a bacon company, Bernays job was basically to increase bacon sales by making the food more appealing to Americans. In order to do so, he came up with a deviously genius idea: conducting a study (which was more like a survey) among 5,000 physicians, asking them whether the healthier option having a light or a heavy meal for breakfast.

As most physicians sided with the latter, Bernays simply used the results in his favor. He used the results to push bacon and eggs as the ideal breakfast, and an American tradition was born.

]]> If you have eggs in the fridge, the number of recipes you can follow is almost endless. Eggs appear in both sweet and savory dishes, either as the star of the show or as supporting actors. Considering how versatile the little guys are, we’re certain these hacks will come in handy. 

Holy Yolk

Meringues, crème brûlées, and hollandaise sauce all have something in common besides being French. They all require the eggs to be separated. Even a skilled professional can find it tough to keep the white and yellow apart, especially when making large quantities. There is a super easy way, however. Place a wire rack above a dish and crack the egg on top. The white will fall through, while the yolk stays perfectly whole above.

Hard-Baked

Another trick that works egg-cellently (sorry, we had to) when needing hard-boiled eggs en-masse, is to forgo the stove. Opt for the oven instead. Place the eggs in a muffin tin and bake in a 325°F oven for 22-27 minutes, depending on how hard you’d like them to be. Then, pop them into an ice bath and let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling. 

Chop Chop

Before putting away that wire rack, you should know that it’ll save you so much time when it comes to chopping eggs. If egg salad is on your agenda, squish the hard-boiled eggs through the rack and marvel at the easiness.

]]> While breakfast sandwiches are a great way to start the day, sometimes you simply don’t feel like a bun, especially if on a strict diet. Fortunately, there are some ways to enjoy a scrumptious yet bunless meal first thing in the morning. Here is your guide to cooking a bunless bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice cooked bacon
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 avocado

Instructions

  1. Place two mason jar lids in a medium nonstick pan with the centers removed. Spray the pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Then, crack the eggs into the center of the lids.
  2. Use a fork to poke the yolks and mix them up with the egg whites. Cook them through for about 3 minutes, until the whites are cooked through. Remove the lid and top one egg with cheddar.
  3. Cook for another minute until the cheese is melting. Place the one egg bun onto a plate and add the bacon and avocado before topping with the other egg.

]]> Scrambled eggs are one of the easiest and most satisfying lunches out there. Eggs are high in protein as well as plenty of beneficial nutrients such as vitamin D and B vitamins. And whipping up scrambled ones to have on toast couldn’t be simpler. Here are some tips to take this easy meal even further. 

Use Butter

Try using salted butter instead of vegetable oil to cook your eggs. Eggs are ultimately quite bland, and so they soak up flavors really well. Cooking them in butter will give them a deliciously rich, buttery taste that makes them much more appealing.

Be Careful With Heat

Scrambled eggs ideally want to be cooked on a low and slow heat. If they get too hot then they’ll quickly become dry and leathery which is not at all what you want. You can even take them off the heat a bit before they’re done and let the final cooking take place from their own residual heat. 

Add Salt and Pepper at the End

It can be very easy to overdo the seasoning and end up ruining the overall flavor of the eggs. Adding salt and pepper early on also affects their flavor. Leave it to the end and sprinkle a tiny bit in – this will enhance the flavor without being too much.

Fortunately, with the right guidance, you can perfect your technique. Here are two techniques you can use to cook the perfect soft-boiled egg.

With Boiling Water

  • Boil a pot of water over your stove.
  • Gently submerge the eggs into the water, allowing into simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the eggs from the pot using a slotted spoon.
  • Place eggs in a colander and put under cold running water to stop the cooking.

Starting With Cold Water

  • Place eggs in an empty pot and fill with cold water.
  • Boil over the stove for one minute.
  • Remove the eggs and drain.

]]> Hard-boiled eggs are a staple snack, and you might think they’re super simple but they can easily go wrong. The last thing you want is your egg cracking in the water, so try these simple tricks to reduce cracking and mess when boiling eggs.

Take them Out of the Fridge

There’s a neverending debate about whether eggs should be kept in the fridge or not. Regardless of what your preference is, just make sure they’re not in the fridge for a while before using them. The sharp temperature change from fridge to boiling water will make the shells much more likely to crack than if they are left at room temperature for a while before the heat.

Put Plenty of Salt in the Water

Salty water causes egg whites to solidify much quicker than non-salty water, so this is a clever way to reduce the spillage if you do get a small crack. The egg white turning solid ultimately seals the crack and stops the egg’s insides from coming out entirely. 

Lower them in Gently With a Tablespoon

If you put the egg on the spoon and very gradually lower it in, letting some of the hot water come onto the spoon, and then eventually submerge the egg in water slowly this allows the shells to gradually build up to the boiling water. This also stops them from hitting into the pan too hard which is also a recipe for an instant crack.

]]> Eggs are a staple of so many people’s diets. As well as the many health benefits, they’re so versatile and delicious prepared in so many ways. Here are three different ways to try them.

Shakshuka 

This is a popular dish in many places and can be easily whipped up. Fry some onions, bell peppers, chili, and garlic, and then add some canned tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. After simmering for about 10 minutes, make some gaps in the sauce to crack eggs into, place a lid on, and leave for 5-6 minutes to let the egg poach.

Eggs Benedict

This fancy version of eggs on toast requires a bit of effort for the hollandaise sauce but is well worth it. Whisk some eggs with lemon juice and cold water and then place the bowl over some simmering water and continue to whisk. When thickened, add some melted butter and mix in slowly. 

Savory Egg Muffins

This is an easy and tasty way to have eggs with plenty of veg. Preheat your oven. Whisk some eggs in a bowl and fry your choice of veg in a pan, and then mix the veg into the eggs with some cheese. Pour this mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.

]]> When it comes to making eggs in the morning (or at any time of the day, for that matter), many of us tend to get lazy. Can anyone really blame us? It’s the morning, we’re groggy, and ultimately it’s the sheer simplistic nature of fried eggs that makes them such an ideal breakfast to make. However, if you’re willing to put in just a little bit more effort, and sauté a few veggies beforehand—it’ll make a world of difference.

A Sweeter Flavor

When you sauté veggies, it brings out the innate sweetness within those veggies that don’t normally taste. The best part about that is that veggies are still really healthy, so now you’re getting the best of both worlds. When you combine that with the protein-rich heavenly taste of fried eggs, it elevates it onto another level.

It’s Easier Than You Think

You might think it’s a huge hassle to cut up a bunch of a veggies and sauté them, but it’s really not. If you chop up all of your veggies at the beginning of the week and store them in a Tupperware container in the fridge, you can just access them easily whenever you want and get them nice and fried at a moment’s notice. In other words, your eggs just got a heck of a lot better and you barely had to do any work.

]]> Traditional baking recipes almost always require a few eggs, but did you know that there’s a common egg mistake many people make that affects the baking result? Getting the wrong number of eggs can definitely mess up your effort, but we’re talking about something else today. The good news is that it’s very easy to prevent it!

People commonly store eggs in the fridge. That way, they last longer and can be stored for weeks before expiring. However, the egg temperature has a lot to do with the baking process, so it’s important to know when to get them out of the fridge.

If you just use cold eggs, they won’t mix perfectly with the other ingredients. Your cookies (or other baked goods) will probably be fine, but if you’re going for flawless results, the best thing you can do is to take the eggs out of the fridge the night before. This will allow them to slowly reach room temperature and enhance your recipe.

If you’re doing some last-minute baking and your eggs are still in the fridge, take them out and put them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. This is much better than using them straight from the fridge.

The sharp temperature change from fridge to boiling water will make the shells much more likely to crack than if they are left at room temperature for a while before the heat.

Put Plenty of Salt in the Water

Salty water causes egg whites to solidify much quicker than non-salty water, so this is a clever way to reduce the spillage if you do get a small crack. The egg white turning solid ultimately seals the crack and stops the egg’s insides from coming out entirely. 

Lower them in Gently With a Tablespoon

If you put the egg on the spoon and very gradually lower it in, letting some of the hot water come onto the spoon, and then eventually submerge the egg in water slowly this allows the shells to gradually build up to the boiling water. This also stops them from hitting into the pan too hard which is also a recipe for an instant crack.

]]> Eggs are a staple of so many people’s diets. As well as the many health benefits, they’re so versatile and delicious prepared in so many ways. Here are three different ways to try them.

Shakshuka 

This is a popular dish in many places and can be easily whipped up. Fry some onions, bell peppers, chili, and garlic, and then add some canned tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. After simmering for about 10 minutes, make some gaps in the sauce to crack eggs into, place a lid on, and leave for 5-6 minutes to let the egg poach.

Eggs Benedict

This fancy version of eggs on toast requires a bit of effort for the hollandaise sauce but is well worth it. Whisk some eggs with lemon juice and cold water and then place the bowl over some simmering water and continue to whisk. When thickened, add some melted butter and mix in slowly. 

Savory Egg Muffins

This is an easy and tasty way to have eggs with plenty of veg. Preheat your oven. Whisk some eggs in a bowl and fry your choice of veg in a pan, and then mix the veg into the eggs with some cheese. Pour this mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake for 15 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.

]]> When it comes to making eggs in the morning (or at any time of the day, for that matter), many of us tend to get lazy. Can anyone really blame us? It’s the morning, we’re groggy, and ultimately it’s the sheer simplistic nature of fried eggs that makes them such an ideal breakfast to make. However, if you’re willing to put in just a little bit more effort, and sauté a few veggies beforehand—it’ll make a world of difference.

A Sweeter Flavor

When you sauté veggies, it brings out the innate sweetness within those veggies that don’t normally taste. The best part about that is that veggies are still really healthy, so now you’re getting the best of both worlds. When you combine that with the protein-rich heavenly taste of fried eggs, it elevates it onto another level.

It’s Easier Than You Think

You might think it’s a huge hassle to cut up a bunch of a veggies and sauté them, but it’s really not. If you chop up all of your veggies at the beginning of the week and store them in a Tupperware container in the fridge, you can just access them easily whenever you want and get them nice and fried at a moment’s notice. In other words, your eggs just got a heck of a lot better and you barely had to do any work.

]]> Traditional baking recipes almost always require a few eggs, but did you know that there’s a common egg mistake many people make that affects the baking result? Getting the wrong number of eggs can definitely mess up your effort, but we’re talking about something else today. The good news is that it’s very easy to prevent it!

People commonly store eggs in the fridge. That way, they last longer and can be stored for weeks before expiring. However, the egg temperature has a lot to do with the baking process, so it’s important to know when to get them out of the fridge.

If you just use cold eggs, they won’t mix perfectly with the other ingredients. Your cookies (or other baked goods) will probably be fine, but if you’re going for flawless results, the best thing you can do is to take the eggs out of the fridge the night before. This will allow them to slowly reach room temperature and enhance your recipe.

If you’re doing some last-minute baking and your eggs are still in the fridge, take them out and put them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes. This is much better than using them straight from the fridge.
