Sunny-Side-Up Eggs

 

My egg style of choice is scrambled.  Or hard-boiled.

So when my son asked me to make Sunny-Side-Up eggs, I really just cracked the egg in the pan and crossed my fingers and hoped for the best!

I later asked my chef friend what's the secret to perfect Sunny-Side-Up eggs, and he replied "low and slow."

I fried the egg on medium-high heat, and he said it looked great.

How do you make perfect Sunny-Side-Up eggs?

Soft-Boiled Eggs

My youngest son loves soft-boiled eggs, and really - any kind of eggs where the yolk is soft and runny.  I'm a pro at making hard-boiled eggs, but I sought the guidance of Chef Brian at Na`au on how to go about making soft-boiled eggs.  

Simply temper eggs in hot tap water for 10 minutes, then place in boiling water for 6 minutes, then immediately place in ice cold water.

The result - perfectly soft-boiled eggs!

Tie-Dye Eggs

I may be late to the game, but I recently discovered how to tie-dye eggs for Easter!

My friend sent me the link to Mayor Derek Kawakami's demo on IGTV and it looked like a lot of fun! Best of all, no special kits are required - just hard boiled eggs, food coloring, paper towels, a spray bottle filled with water, and rubber bands (I used string which I feel works better). Gloves are optional but highly recommended!

Wrap an egg in paper towel as tight as possible, and secure it with a rubber band or piece of string (see pic above).

Add drops of food coloring (a little goes a long way) onto the paper towel. Be sure to leave some blank spaces in between your drops of food die. 

Using a spray bottle filled with water, spray the egg with water.

Let it set for at least 30 minutes or longer. Then unwrap and voila! 

A tie-dyed egg!

What's even more cool is you also get a tie-dyed paper towel!

I'm sure there are many ways to incorporate the tie-dyed paper towels into another craft project, but I am hanging them up outside as decoration.

 Have fun decorating your eggs and have a Happy Easter AT HOME!
