Egg recipes abound across the world
One of the most fundamental, versatile ingredients in any kitchen, the humble egg makes everything possible — from the traditional full Irish breakfast to the finest baking. The age-old question of how to cook an egg has flummoxed new cooks for years! Try the following options and practice until you have perfected the art, adding salt and pepper to taste to the finished results:
- A fried egg will take around two minutes in a hot and oiled pan.
- Scrambled eggs can take just a minute or so.
- The boiled option takes between 6-10 minutes, depending on your taste or the recipe.
In India, you might find them in a creamy curry, served with spinach. In the UK, Scotch eggs are a picnic staple, and North African shakshuka pairs the hero ingredient with tomatoes, peppers, feta, onions and herbs for an aromatic dish. They are essential for baking and for making crepes. Find them in beverages, such as rum egg-nog, and mixed with cream, sugar, milk and other ingredients to make custards and other sweet puddings.
