The simplest dishes are the hardest to cook really well. To fry eggs, you just need to break a few eggs in a skillet. But to make it perfect, you have to try! We reveal the main secrets used by chefs!
How to make the perfect fried eggs
1. Choose only fresh eggs. The white should be firm and not flowing, and the yolk should be pale yellow and convex;
2. Before cooking, remove the eggs from the refrigerator to warm them up to room temperature;
3. Warm up the oil well in advance so that it spreads evenly over the surface;
4. Make sure that your oil is suitable for heat treatment. For example, some types of olive in a skillet spoil and spoil the dish;
5. Try a mixture of vegetable and butter - about 1: 1. Vegetable will give the desired temperature, and creamy - a pleasant taste;
6. Jamie Oliver recommends not to save on the amount of oil, and then simply remove the excess with a paper towel;
7. To keep the yolk intact, break the shell on a flat table top, not with a knife;
8. Lucinda Scala Queen, the creator of cookbooks, thinks that you need to add a spoonful of water to an egg. This will make the protein more tender;
9. Fry eggs over medium heat and do not cover immediately if you do not want hard boiled yolk;
10. For classic fried eggs, the lid can be put on in about a minute;
11. Cook the dish under the lid for 1-2 minutes, based on your preferences in frying;
12. To make scrambled eggs with a delicate and flawlessly smooth texture, break the eggs into slightly warmed butter, keep the heat on low and fry for longer. This is exactly how the world-famous French chef Fernand Poin advises to cook;
13. If the scrambled eggs have already started to burn on one side, and the top is still almost raw - turn it over for 30 seconds. The yolk inside will still turn out to be a little liquid;
14. Another option is to pour over the underfried protein with hot oil, on which the eggs are cooked;
15. To gently remove the eggs, choose soft but thin shoulder blades. For example, silicone;
16. Salt and pepper with fried eggs right on the plate. According to Gordon Ramsay, this will help preserve texture and color;
17. Experiment with recipes. Add tomatoes, spinach, all kinds of vegetables, herbs and spices.
