Step by step recipes

Among the abundance of options for delicious egg breakfasts, we have selected 5 of the most interesting, in our opinion. Cooking such dishes does not require a lot of time, which is so valuable in the morning.

Poached egg

A traditional French dish that gives you the opportunity to enjoy the soft yolk, the consistency of which is reminiscent of cream, and the delicate protein.

This recipe was a godsend for me. Previously, I cooked poached poached, trying to gently pour the contents of the egg into boiling water. But even with all care, the albuminous membrane sometimes torn, and the contents spilled into the water. The use of cling film was an excellent solution to the problem. Moreover, the cooking process is much faster, because you do not need to monitor each egg separately. All the blanks in the film are immersed in boiling water at the same time. The bags are neat and very appetizing.

Ingredients:

• egg;
• olive oil.

Cooking steps:

1. Cut a square with sides about 20 cm from the cling film.

2. Place the cling film on the table and brush with olive oil.

   

   Olive oil can be substituted for refined sunflower oil

3. Lifting by the edges, transfer the blank to a small bowl, then pour the egg into it.

   

   Eggs can be salted both before and after cooking.

4. Tie the edges of the plastic tightly to form a pouch.

5. Repeat all steps, preparing the required number of eggs for breakfast.

   

   The edges of the film must be carefully sealed, otherwise the egg will spill into the water during cooking.

6. Dip the pieces in boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes.

7. Remove the poached eggs from the water, cool slightly, remove the cling film and place on a plate.

   

   Separate the film from the egg carefully so as not to damage the protein shell

8. Serve the poached egg with croutons, fresh vegetables or porridge.

Quail eggs baked in avocado

A great start to the day for everyone who likes to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal in the morning.

• 10 g of hard cheese;

   Any kind of hard cheese is suitable for this dish.

3. Use a spoon to remove some of the pulp, making the indentations larger.

   

   The extracted avocado pulp can be used as a spread for a small toast

4. Place the grated cheese into the avocado plates.

   

   If you put the cheese not inside, but on top, during the baking process, the food will be covered with an appetizing golden crust

5. Pour 2 quail eggs into each piece.

   

   If chicken eggs are used, only 1 piece is driven into each half of the avocado

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

   

   In addition to salt and pepper, the dish can be supplemented with other favorite spices and seasonings to your taste.

7. Place the avocado and eggs in an ovenproof dish, greased with butter. Place the dish in a hot oven and bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes.

Having repeatedly tested the preparation of an omelet according to this recipe, I came to the conclusion that you can add whatever your heart desires to it. The husband prefers pieces of boiled chicken or sausage as a filler, the eldest daughter prefers a mixture of cheeses, and I like green peas or canned bell peppers. In any case, it all depends on your taste preferences.
