How many ways can you cook an egg?
Here are some different ways you can cook eggs, and it all comes down to what you cook it with and which you prefer:
- Hard-boiled: This refers to how hard the yolk is once cooked. Usually boiled in water with its shell for 10-12 minutes. A trick for easy peeling eggs, place the ready boiled eggs in an ice bath for about 5 minutes.
- Soft Boiled: Soft boiled eggs means the yolk will remain somewhat runny. Cook the same way you would a hardboiled egg but for only 6 minutes. Also, place in an ice bath for easier peeling.
- Hard Scrambled:Â Most like their eggs hard scrambled. Often times it is what it sounds like. Scrambled but cooked through and will be more on the dry side.
- Soft Scrambled:Â Scrambled eggs that aren’t overcooked and usually on the wet side. Some may add some milk right when it starts cooking. Don’t overcook.
- Fried:Â Many love this method of cooking eggs, either sunny side up, over easy or over medium. Use a small amount of olive oil to fry eggs.
- Omelets:Â Eggs scrambled and mixed with veggies.
- Poached:Â Poaching an egg is usually hard for some. Essentially you boil an egg without its shell.
- Baked:Â So many ways to bake an egg, either whole, in a skillet with veggies, egg muffins, or in a dish with veggies like this Baked Egg Zoodle Nest recipe

Good flavor, but definitely needs a longer cook time or higher temp
Jenny says
Agree — I baked at 350 deg for 9 min to which it was clearly very raw still, so I upped the temp to 400 deg and cooked for 20 min longer

SO delish! It takes longer to cook, but it is so worth it! I added some canadian bacon for hubby. Today I tried using skinner zoodles and I think I like it better! I also added fresh herbs like french tarragon with my parsley.

Thank you! I was drowning in zucchini and this was the perfect way to use the last of them up. I swapped basil for parsley, and shredded parmesan for the feta plus I added a squeeze of lemon and they came out AMAZING!! I did have to cook mine for about 30mins at 385 tho…and even then the yolk was a teensy bit runny (which added to the avocado creaminess and was glorious). So healthy! So fast! So yummy! And makes up a gorgeous plate…. try it!
