Eggs are a versatile and nutritious ingredient that can be used in countless dishes, from breakfast to dinner. They're packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them an excellent choice for a healthy diet. Whether you prefer them scrambled, fried, poached, or baked into a quiche, eggs offer endless possibilities for delicious meals. Here are some easy egg recipes that will inspire your culinary creativity.
Scrambled Eggs Perfection
Ingredients:- 2 large eggs (approx. 100g)
- 15g unsalted butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with salt and pepper until well combined. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and gently stir them with a spatula while they cook. Remove from heat just before the eggs are fully set for perfectly creamy scrambled eggs.
Avocado & Egg Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients:- 2 large eggs (approx. 100g)
- 1 ripe avocado (about 200g), sliced
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- Juice from half a lime
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Boil the eggs to your desired doneness (soft or hard-boiled). While they're cooking, assemble the avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro leaves in a bowl. Once the eggs are done, slice them and add them to the bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
Spanish Omelette (Tortilla Española)
Ingredients:- 6 large eggs (approx. 300g)
- 400g potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- Olive oil for frying
- Salt to taste
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions, cook until soft but not crispy. Drain most of the oil, keeping just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently shake to distribute evenly over the potato and onion mixture.
Cook on one side until set (about 5-7 minutes), then carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and flip it back into the pan to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
