Egg-cellent recipes is a great book for those egg lovers out there. The dishes selected will teach any individual to cook and create a wonderful meal that will impress any one at anytime. Whether you are

cooking for family, a loved one, or yourself.

As a college student, I must depend on myself to provide

an inexpensive, yet tasty meal. I put together this recipe for

those struggling students looking for various ways to turn

your simple egg concoctions into tasteful, clever meals.

The beginning of this book contains delicious appetizer recipes for various egg dishes. These tasteful appetizers were created by Elise bauer.

An appetizer is a small dish that is given at the beginning of a meal. I have set this chapter up to focus primarily on simple starter dishes that contain if not the whole egg, then at least parts of an egg.

Deviled Eggs

Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil. Cover, and remove from heat. Let sit covered for 12-15 minutes.

2 Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over the eggs. Let sit in the cool water a few minutes, changing the water if necessary to keep it cool. Peel the eggs. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half, lengthwise. Gently re-move the yolk halves and place in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.

2 When orzo or rice is nearly done, but mostly cooked, drain the boiling water and add the pasta or rice to the chicken broth. Add the diced chicken breast to the pot. Let this cook 5-8 mins., then taste the soup for salt. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Whisking constantly, add lemon jice to the eggs.

3 Temper the eggs before you add the egg-lemon mixture to the soup. With one hand, whisk the egg-lemon vigorously. Slowly pour in a ladle’s worth of hot borth. Do this at least twice. Turn the heat off the soup. Whisk the soup with one hand while you pour the egg-lemon mixture with the other.

Blend on medium for 30 seconds until eggs lighten in color.Transfer to a container you can use for pouring and set it on a warm service.

2 Poach the eggs. Working one egg at a time, crack an egg into a small bowl and slip it into simmering water. Once it begins to solidify, slip in another egg, until you have all four cooking. Turn off heat, let sit for 4 minutes. When it comes time to remove the eggs, gently lift out with a slotted spoon. You might have to experiment a little with your set up to figure out what you need to do to get eggs the way you like them.

3 As soon as all the eggs are in the poaching water, begin toasting your English muffins. If you can’t get all muffins toeasted by time the eggs are ready, gently remove eggs from water and set in a bowl. To assemble, butter one side of muffin. Top with two slices of ba-con. Put a poached egg on top of the bacon, then pour hollandaise over.

To boil eggs, cover with 2 inches of cold water, bring to boil, cover, remove from heat, then rinse with cold water. Hard boiling works best with eggs at least a week old.

2 Peel the eggs and place in the bottom of a clean glass jar, quart sized. In a medium pan, add vinegar, water, onion, sugar, and spices. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.

Secure close the jar’s cover. Refrigerate up to a month. Pickled eggs will be ready to eat after a few days. The longer the eggs sit in juice, more the juice will penetrate eggs.

method

. fresh eggs- 1 to 2 tsp. vinegarequipment- shallow saucepan with cover- slotted spoon

1 First bring water in a saucepan to almost boiling. If the water is already boiling, lower heat until no longer boiling. At this point, you can add one or two teaspoons of vinegar to the water. The vinegar will help the egg whites to congeal more easily. Seasoned rice vinegar is the preferred.

2 Working with the eggs one by one, crack an egg into a small cup, then place the cup near the surface of the hot water and gently drop the egg into the water. With a spoon, nudge the eggwhites closer to their yolks. This will help the egg whites hold together.
