Mastering the Breakfast Egg

Achieving the perfect breakfast egg requires attention to detail and technique. Start with medium-sized, room-temperature eggs, pricked at the blunt end to release air.

Boil them for 5-6 minutes for a soft-boiled texture. Avoid refrigeration, as ambient temperature is optimal for flavor and freshness.

When preparing scrambled eggs, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of milk per egg enhance the taste. Fry them over high heat, but be cautious not to over-mix; gentle whisking preserves a fluffy structure.

The cooking time varies depending on the stove, water amount, and egg age, so adjust accordingly. For the best results, use fresh, organic eggs and incorporate seasonings like fresh chives at the end.

Mastering these techniques will elevate your breakfast experience, ensuring each egg is a delightful start to your day.
