Preparation

Step 1

Hard-Boiled Eggs

To cook hard-boiled eggs, place eggs in a pot with water (the water should cover the eggs). Bring to a boil and cover the pot. Turn off stove, remove the pot from the stove and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of cold water, then crack and peel the shells.

Step 2

Soft-Boiled Eggs
You can cook soft-boiled eggs the same way as hard-boiled eggs, but steep in hot water for less time. To eat, use a knife to take the cap off of the egg (you can eat it straight from the shell).

Step 3

Tea Eggs
A traditional Chinese snack made by cooking hard-boiled eggs that are then cracked and steeped in a spiced tea mix.

Step 4

Deviled Eggs

Make hard-boiled eggs, remove their yolks and replace with a creamy filling.

Step 5

Scrambled Eggs

Crack eggs in a mixing bowl and scramble together with a fork. Add milk and continue whisking. Pour into a pan with butter and cook for a minute. Use a spatula to push the eggs into the center of the pan.

Step 6

Sunny Side-Up
Carefully crack eggs into a frying pan one at a time. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Omelet

Whisk egg whites with salt, pepper and seasonings. Pour into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When finished cooking, add toppings, fold and serve.

Step 8

Poached Eggs

Break 4 eggs into simmering water. Cook for 1 minute. Loosen from bottom of pan with a spatula. Poach for 3 to 5 minutes, to desired doneness. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 9

Baked Eggs
A fun twist on eggs and toast. Crack eggs into dinner rolls that are sliced open. Bake until the eggs are set and bread is toasted.

Step 10

In a Burrito

Chop up hard-boiled eggs and mix together with toppings (we like salsa, cheese and beans). Fill a tortilla and roll.
