To add variety to your breakfast options, here are 7 different ways to cook eggs along with simple and tasty recipes so you enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n1) Scrambled Eggs<\/span><\/p>\nProbably the most typical way to cook eggs is to scramble them. Make sure the stove is set on low with gentle heat, and allow the eggs to start setting before scrambling. To make them extra fluffy, try adding in a half cup of cottage cheese for every two eggs, before pouring the mixture into the pan to scramble. To spice up your scrambled eggs, add in your favorite veggies or cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n2) Poached Eggs<\/span><\/p>\nPoaching eggs is probably the low-fattest option to enjoy eggs because it aids in stopping the egg yolk\u2019s fat from being oxidized or changed before and during cooking. There is also no added fat from butter or cooking oil.<\/span><\/p>\nEasy poached eggs:<\/span>
2 eggs, 2 t rice vinegar, shallow saucepan with cover, spoon, and pepper to taste. Bring water to a boil in the pan to nearly boiling and add vinegar. Crack each egg one at a time into a small cup, put the cup near water and drop the egg into the pan. Gently push the egg whites closer to the yolks with the spoon, turn off the heat, cover, and let it sit for about four minutes, until egg whites are cooked. Lift eggs out of the pan, add pepper, and enjoy with a piece of whole-wheat toast for a simple yet delicious breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n3) Omelet<\/span><\/p>\nMaking omelets is super easy and one of the best ways to get creative with your eggs. Possible fillings run the gamut \u2014 smoked salmon, mushrooms, avocado, kale, peppers, any kind of cheese \u2013 you name it. It can take a few times to perfect the omelet-making technique, but once you have it, it\u2019s quick and painless. Cook one omelet at a time with either two or three eggs, depending on how hungry you are. If you are making multiple omelets, you can keep the others warm in the oven while still cooking one on the stove.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n4) Hardboiled Eggs<\/span><\/p>\nHardboiled eggs can be used alone, for salad toppings, or just a plain, high-protein snack. They can also be transformed into mouth-watering and healthy egg salads. But sometimes peeling eggs can be a pain. For easy to peel hard- boiled eggs, buy eggs at least 7 or 10 days before cooking them and peel right after cooking. To store eggs, put them in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking and use during the next week.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n5) Baked Eggs<\/span><\/p>\nThe best alternative to frying eggs is baking them, which is a generally basic process. Just crack one or two eggs into a baking dish coated with nonstick spray, and sprinkle some pepper or other seasoning on top. Then, pour one tablespoon of water or milk over the eggs and bake 325 degrees F until the egg whites are completely set (about 12 minutes). To spice things up a bit, you can try adding toppings to your baked eggs, like cooked spinach, salsa, shredded cheese and chopped tomato.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n6) Sunny Side Up Eggs<\/span><\/p>\nWhile it is one of the most popular ways, cooking Sunny Side Up eggs can be hard because it is easy for the yolk to run too much. They can be easy to do in a skillet in the oven if you have not mastered them on the stove yet. Just make sure your nonstick skillet is oven proof. Then, carefully and evenly crack eggs into the skillet and place in the oven (at 350 degrees) for about four minutes.<\/span><\/p>\nEasy Sunny Side Up Pizza (serves 1-2):<\/span><\/p>\n7) Deviled Eggs<\/span><\/p>\nDeviled eggs are traditionally eaten as finger foods at parties in the spring and summer time, but they may be called \u201cdeviled\u201d for a reason. While delicious, deviled eggs can be prepared with lots of mayo and other unhealthy fats. Don\u2019t fret, because there are easy ways to lighten up the little delicious bites.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nKeep in mind, eggs must be stored in the refrigerator and cooked thoroughly to provide full health benefits. Anyone with high cholesterol levels should adhere to his or her doctor\u2019s dietary recommendations regarding eggs.<\/span><\/p>\nCOURTESY: http:\/\/www.builtlean.com\/2013\/06\/18\/different-ways-cook-eggs\/<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nALTERNATIVE USES FOR EGGS, EGG SHELLS AND CARTONS..<\/span>
Use egg yolks to make a moisturizing facial.<\/span>
If you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, an egg yolk makes a great natural facial. Oily skin does better with the egg white (to which you can add a little lemon or honey), and normal skin can take the entire egg. Separate the egg as needed, and beat the part that suits your skin. Then apply the beaten egg to the area you want to treat, relax and wait 30 minutes,<\/span><\/p>\nUse egg whites as glue.<\/span>
Out of regular white glue? Egg whites can act as a glue substitute when gluing paper or light cardboard together<\/span><\/p>\nUse eggshells in the garden compost.<\/span>

After boiling eggs, don\u2019t pour the water down the drain. Instead, let it cool; then water plants with the nutrient-filled water.<\/span><\/p>\nUse egg cartons or eggshells in the garden to start seeds.<\/span>
Plant seeds in eggshells. Place the eggshell halves in the carton, fill each with soil, and press seeds inside. The seeds will draw extra nutrients from the eggshells. Once the seedlings are about 3 inches (7.5 centimeters) tall, they are ready to be transplanted into your garden. Remove them from the shell before you put them in the ground. Then crush the eggshells and put them in your compost or plant them in your garden. You can also use a cardboard egg carton as a nursery for your seeds; once they’ve sprouted, divide the carton and plant each cardboard cell along with the seedlings.<\/span><\/p>\nUse eggshells to scrub the house.<\/span>
Ground eggshells make a wonderful (and nontoxic!) abrasive for those tough-to-clean pots, pans, and thermoses. Mix them with a little soapy water for a powerful clean.<\/span><\/p>\nUse eggshells to unclog drains.<\/span>
Keep a few ground eggshells in your kitchen sink strainer. They trap additional solids and when they slowly break down, they will help to naturally clean your pipes on their way out<\/span><\/p>\nUse eggshells in the garden to scare away slugs.<\/span>
