Spice up your Eggs

Here are some tips to spice up your eggs:
·         A tablespoon of sherry does wonders for scrambled eggs and omelettes. Beat it into the eggs before cooking.
·         A tablespoon of vinegar added to water before poaching eggs helps to keep the whites from spreading.
·         You can make an egg poacher to keep egg whites from spreading by removing the top and bottom of a shallow can. Place the cut-out can in a pan of simmering water and crack the eggs into it.


·         When you hard-boil eggs for stuffing, stir them gently for the firsts 2 minutes. This sets the whites. The yolks will be in the centre, leaving a strong wall of white around the yolk that won’t break when the eggs are stuffed.
·         If there is not time to have hard-boiled eggs for egg sandwiches, scramble them until they are very dry. Cool, and then add mayonnaise and the usual seasonings. A touch of curry powder does wonders.
