Different Ways to Cook Eggs

Eggs can be cooked in various ways to suit different preferences. Here are some common methods for cooking eggs:

Boiled Eggs: Eggs can be soft boiled or hard boiled depending on your taste or the recipe. Soft boiled eggs cook for a shorter amount of time and have a runny yolk, whereas hard boiled eggs take longer to cook and have a fully set yolk.
Scrambled Eggs: Scrambled eggs only require a couple of minutes in the pan. If you prefer your eggs to have a creamy texture, cook them gently for a couple of minutes or for a firmer texture, extend the cooking time a bit longer.
Fried Eggs: A fried egg will take around two minutes in a hot and oiled pan. You have the option to cook your egg sunny side up, where you don’t flip it or over easy, which means the egg is cooked on both sides before serving.
Poached Eggs: This method of cooking eggs is very similar to boiling. However, in this case, the eggs are cooked without the shell and placed in simmering water.
