E is for Eggs

Eggs are basic.

Probably the biggest mistake people make with eggs is in cooking them too fast on heat set too high. The result is a rubbery, brown, slightly bitter mess.

We don't want to reinvent the way to fry, boil or scramble eggs. Just about every general purpose cookbook will have excellent directions about how to hard boil, soft boil and every other way of cooking eggs. The question is what will appeal to your kids?

Jill: When I was sick as a kid, my Mom always made a soft-boiled egg tossed with toast and a little bit of salt and pepper. Today, that's still one of my comfort foods. Except now I put the egg and toast on top of a bed of spinach, maybe add a strip of crisp bacon, and a tablespoon of Angerona Farm Salad Dressing with the mustard addition. (See D is for Dressings) This works just as well with a fried egg.

Eggs are a wonderful way to feed kids something nutritious, high in protein, and in a hurry. Just remember to keep the heat about medium if you are using a skillet. What will result is a soft, silky, beautiful egg with the delicate flavor that makes eggs so unique!
