She has left me again, What ingredients do i need to make a nice boiled egg ?????

Answer 1

If you can't boil an egg at your age I'm not surprised she left ya!

Answer 2

Pan, salt, water, and of course, and egg.
Firstly, boil enough water in the kettle to cover the egg. While the water is heating up, prepare the rest of the breakfast.

If you are removing the egg straight from the fridge, them prick the rounded end of the egg with a pin. This prevents the egg from cracking when put into the water.

When the water has boiled, pour the required quantity into the pan. Turn on the heat, and wait until the water boils furiously. Now you put your egg into the water, taking care not to burn your fingers. Try not to drop the egg in, as the shell will crack, causing the egg white to spill everywhere in the pan. You can use a slotted spoon if you don't want to get too close to the boiling water.

At this point it might be useful to ask the person who is having breakfast with you, or yourself, 'how you would like your egg?' (which is incidentally also a common chat-up line, used by the unoriginal to the unattainable). There will be a number of responses, but the most common answers deal with how long (approximately) the egg should be boiled for. Timing should start when the water comes back to the boil after you put the egg in.

Soft boiled

This is the egg with a runny yolk and a lightly cooked white. The egg should be boiled for no longer than three minutes for this state to occur. This applies, regardless of how many eggs there are in the pan. The soft boiled egg causes the most problems, as there are many questions due to the timing and their safety. British guidelines state that those in vulnerable groups, ie, very young children, those who are pregnant and the elderly, should not eat this type of egg. On the other hand, this does take the fun out of consuming it, as you cannot have 'Eggy Soldiers' with them (Toast cut into strips.)

Hard Boiled

This is the egg with a solid white and a completely solid yolk. Considered the safest, but also the less fun option. Boil for about eight minutes. This state of boiled egg inevitably causes problems due to timing, because if you remove the egg from the water too soon, you will end up with an egg with a soft centre.

Answer 3

1 bunch asparagus
4 eggs, room temperature
Maldon or other sea salt


Cut the woody ends off the asparagus, and cook in a shallow saucepan of boiling water until tender but still has some bite - about 5 minutes. Then drain them and keep them warm while you cook the eggs.
In a saucepan, bring some water to the boil into which you have dropped a matchstick; according to my Aunt Frieda this stops the white from billowing out into the pan should the egg crack while cooking. Am I going to promise this works? Well, all families have their folklore.

Lower the eggs into the water and cook them at a steady boil for about 4 minutes. Take them out of the water and immediately slice the top of each one; the yolk should still be runny enough to dip the asparagus spears in.

Make sure that there's salt on the table for sprinkling into the almost aggressive blandness of the egg and spear, as you eat, with the warm asparagus. and may i suggest doing it at sunset on your porch and have some scented candles lit of her favorite smell

Preparation Time:
Serves: 2

Ingredients
2 Large Lion Quality eggs
Water for boiling
Pinch of salt
Buttered toast cut into soldiers to serve (optional)

5 minutes for firmer yolk and white
6 minutes for hard boiled with lightly soft yolk

3. Reduce heat slightly to keep water bubbling but not fast boiling and stir the egg once more.

4. Once cooking time is complete, remove the egg from the pan with slotted spoon, place into egg cup and serve immediately with hot buttered toast soldiers.

Cooking Tip

To prevent egg cracking, make a small pin prick in the shell at the rounded end to allow the steam to escape.

Answer 5

2 eggs, 1 pan of boiling water, and 4-6 minutes, depending on how hard you want the yolk to be.

After you shell the egg, a pat of butter and a sprinkle of pepper go well with the egg. Chop it all up, and eat with a slice of toast.

Now I'm hungry again....

Answer 6

Pan of boiling water and an egg which has been pricked at both ends and cooked for 5 minutes for white to be set and yolk to be still runny enough for dipping with soldiers.

Answer 7
