Simmer for just one minute then turn off the heat, set a lid on the pan and let it stand for 6-7 minutes. Experiment with the timing, it will depend on how you like your eggs.

2. How to Cook an Omelette An omelette is very simple to make and is wonderful served with a salad or chips. In a bowl, beat two eggs together and season with salt or pepper.

Keep bringing the cooked bits from the side of the pan into the middle to let uncooked liquid run into gaps and cook.

3. How to Cook Scrambled Eggs Scrambled eggs on toast is delicious and is a good standby when you're in a rush or are too tired to cook much. If you have got a microwave, then these are really easy simply beat 2-3 eggs together, season, add a tiny dash of milk and cook on high. Stir with a fork every ten seconds and stop cooking when they are at the perfect consistency for you. You can also scrambled eggs in a pan Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan, beat the eggs in a bowl or jug, season and add a dash of milk. Once the butter is melted, pour the eggs into the pan and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook until the egg mixture only has a bit of liquid left. Stir in a little butter and add cream if you want delicious. For a special breakfast, chop up smoked salmon and mix into the scrambled egg.
4. Cooking Poached Eggs To poach eggs the easy way, you can buy a special poaching pan which has round compartments into which you crack your eggs and then they cook over the pan which is filled with boiling water. To poach eggs without a poacher, pour boiling water into a frying pan until it is about 2 ? cm deep, set the pan on the cooker and, when the water is bubbling gently (little bubbles under the surface), break an egg into the water. Simmer for 1 minute and then take from the heat. Stand for 10 minutes and then remove with a slotted spoon and drain. Serve on toast or with bacon, sausage and baked beans.
These are the four classic, quickest and most nourishing ways to cook eggs but you can also fry an egg in oil. Simply heat oil in a frying pan, crack an egg gently into the pan (gently, so you don't break the yolk) and fry until cooked. Although you may prefer frying eggs, don't forget that poaching is much better than frying because it has less fat (water instead of oil).
