eggs 101...

so i'm a week into my block 3 class and this month we're focussing on eggs & breakfast cookery and basic baking & deserts. you're probably thinking to yourself, "are you serious? eggs? i know how to make eggs!" well... you'd be surprised at how many don't! you might also be surprised at how much harder it is than it looks. fried eggs over-easy... ermmm... easy, right? yeah, probably not rocket science but it does take a bit of skill and timing to flip that baby over without breaking the yolk. ham & cheese omelet? pretty basic but still requires proper execution from pan to plate. and believe me, an omelet can look pretty unappetizing if it's not folded/rolled properly or broken with the filling oozing out from everywhere. shirred eggs? what's that?!! how about a perfectly poached medium egg? you're kidding, right? nope. heard of a 3 minute egg? did you know that it takes 4 minutes? believe it or not, eggs are done to order and should be brought out to the customer that way. even the usual fail safe scrambled eggs can be messed up... seriously! there's nothing worse than overcooked, dried out scramble! so the next time you make yourselves eggs, be patient and put a little love into them... they'll look and taste that much better :).
