By Rohit Mehra Some mornings give you plenty of time for breakfast. Others give you enough time to find your mobile phone, make a cup of tea, and question why you did not retire to bed early. On such days, you will require fast and simple meals. Eggs can come in handy because you can prepare them in many ways without requiring an endless number of ingredients. You can prepare boiled eggs the previous night, scrambled eggs when you have ten minutes, or baked eggs for later use. And if you are doing your regular shopping at a grocery store, stocking a carton in the fridge is one less thing to worry about.
1. Scrambled Eggs When You Have Ten Minutes
It is difficult to find anything better than scrambled eggs for a quick breakfast. Just crack two of them into a bowl, add some salt and pepper to them, and beat them with a fork. Then pour the mixture into a hot pan and stir it till it is prepared as per your preference. It will make your breakfast ready along with a piece of toast. You may also use some vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms etc.
2. Boiled Eggs For The Really Rushed Days
Boiled eggs make an ideal breakfast in case your morning will be hectic tomorrow. Boil a few of them today, let them cool and keep them refrigerated. The next day, all you’ll need to do is peel them and enjoy them with toast, fruit or yoghurt. You can keep the seasoning simple with salt and pepper, or add chilli flakes or another seasoning you already like. There is something particularly useful about having breakfast ready before you even get out of bed.
3. Baked Egg Cups When You Have Leftovers
Baked egg cups are an easy dish that will help you utilise small quantities of vegetables or cheese. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them; then add chopped or cooked vegetables along with some grated cheese to them. Now put this mixture into greased muffin tins and bake. Make a few at once, allow them to cool and store them safely for another breakfast. They are especially handy on mornings when sitting down for breakfast is simply not going to happen.
Check The Eggs Before You Buy
You will usually find different egg sizes and varieties when shopping. There’s no need to spend hours sifting through the choices. Just check out the packaging and make a choice based on your own cooking style. If you are purchasing from a grocery store, it is easy to compare the different packages and select a number that you can consume before getting another one.
Keep Breakfast Easy
There is no need for an elaborate breakfast regime. Scrambled eggs will be useful on days when you have time at hand, boiled eggs can be made beforehand, and then there are baked eggs that will serve the purpose on busy mornings. Keep some bread, fruit and vegetables around and use whatever needs finishing first. The whole point is to make your mornings easier, not give yourself another elaborate recipe to follow before the day has even properly started.
