3 Quick and Easy Ways to Cook Eggs

There are many ways to cook eggs. Here are three of the fastest and easiest. The first and easiest method is to boil them. The second method, which is almost as easy, is to fry them. The third method, which is almost as easy as the first two methods, is to scramble them in the microwave.
 
To boil eggs you'll need a sauce pan deep enough to cover the eggs in water. Place the eggs in the sauce pan and cover with water. Turn the stove burner to high. When the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and submerge in cold water for 2 minutes. Peel the eggs under running water. Slice and serve with salt and pepper.
 
To fry eggs you'll need a frying pan and a spatula. Coat the bottom of the frying pan with a layer of olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Heat pan over medium heat. Cook the eggs for three minutes. Turn eggs with the spatula and cook another two minutes. Remove eggs from frying pan and serve with salt and pepper.
 
The third method is to scramble the eggs in a microwave oven. I do this often at work (much to the amazement of my co-workers). It's really simple and the results are very good if you do it right. First, spray a microwave safe bowl with cooking spray. Stir in the eggs. Microwave the eggs on high for 20 seconds. Stir the eggs and microwave again for 10 seconds. Stir the eggs and microwave again for ten seconds. The eggs should be almost done at this point. Fluff the eggs and microwave for ten seconds.
 
There you have it!  Boiled, fried or scrambled. Serve with a nice slice of turkey ham, a little sautéed broccoli rabe and a piece of fruit and you have a delicious, complete meal that's fast and easy to prepare.
