Breakfast is the basis of the whole day. And let’s be honest, if you start your day with any kind of pastry, it probably won’t fill you up. Nutritionists say it’s important that the first meal of the day contains protein. It’s the only thing that will keep your blood sugar stable and keep you full until practically lunchtime. Rolls and muffins can’t do that.

Eggs are a win

Of course, eggs can give you a great dose of protein in the morning. But preparing them can sometimes be a bit of an impossible task in the morning rush. Luckily, there is a way to cook eggs quickly and still make a tasty and nutritious breakfast. All you need is one single minute of your time.

Why eggs?

Before we tell you how to prepare eggs quickly and well, let’s stop and talk about why eggs. They have several advantages. Not only are they nutritious, but they are also available and relatively inexpensive. In addition, they have a positive or at least neutral effect on health and, as part of a balanced diet, do not pose any health risks.

Moreover, for people with high nutritional requirements, such as children, pregnant women, athletes or the elderly, eggs are a good source of protein. They provide key micronutrients such as vitamin D, iodine, folate and choline. For the general population, they are becoming the most sustainable option for a high quality source of animal protein. Last but not least, they have an impact on satiety.

Lost eggs in the microwave

If you don’t have a lot of time in the morning, learn how to prepare your lost eggs in the microwave. Fill a bowl with half a cup of room temperature salted water and dip the eggs in it. Broken, of course. But try not to disturb its structural integrity. Then put the bowl in the microwave and heat on high power for about 45 seconds.

If you prefer a stiffer yolk, you can leave the egg in the oven a few seconds longer. Then remove it from the water with a slotted spoon or sieve. You can serve the lost egg like this on toast or on top of vegetables with avocado. You will definitely love this kind of breakfast. And you can alternate it with other egg preparation options.

Other ways to prepare

If you have a little more time in the morning or you’re preparing breakfast on the weekend when you’re not in a hurry, you can prepare hard-boiled eggs. You can also prepare them in the evening so that you don’t have so much to do in the morning. Then you keep it in the fridge and just peel it in the morning. And how to do it? It’s quite simple. First boil water and when it reaches boiling point, put the raw egg in it.

Don’t forget to turn down the heat to prevent the eggs from bouncing and cracking. Do you have eggs in water? Set the timer. The cooking time depends on how hard you want them to be. Hard-boiled eggs, with a lighter yolk, take 12 minutes to cook. Slightly softer ones can be cooked for ten minutes. Soft-boiled eggs can be prepared in the same way we have described. In just six minutes you can prepare an egg with a runny yolk and a soft white. This is ideal for eggs served in a cup.
