Egg and avocado

My little princess has recently decided that she would not eat egg yolks. The only time she'd eat them would be if they were scrambled. Hard boiled and poached eggs don't work.

Yesterday, I thought I'd try something new with her. I put the eggs in the rice cooker to cook and shelled them when they were cool enough to handle. Cut the eggs in half and scooped out the yolks.

I also scooped out half an avocado and mashed the yolk and avocado together to form a paste. Spread it back into the egg whites and served her.

She ate them!! Avocado egg yolk. Yum. Problem solved and it was a no mess hard boiled egg too.

If you have any other healthy and child-friendly methods, let me know too!

Light, fluffy eggs

Cooked an omelette a couple of days ago. Had some cream on hand, so I stirred in 2 tablespoons into 4 eggs. Love my eggs! So light, fluffy and melts in the mouth!

It'll work with scrambled eggs too.

So, next time you want to enjoy some fluffy eggs, try adding in some cream. Milk will also work, but you might need to put more because milk isn't as thick as cream is.

Oh, and by cream, I meant the ones that are still in their liquid form. Not whipped up cream.

Hard Boiled Eggs

I've boiled eggs countless times. I've been disappointed and annoyed by them just as many times.

The traditional way of boiling eggs was to put the eggs in cool water, then bring to a boil Depending on the hardness of the egg, you boil for certain amount of time. Some egg lovers have also poured boiling water over raw eggs, cover up and wait about 7 minutes for a half-boiled, very soft egg.

This method is very costly in many ways:
1. Water wasted.
2. Time wasted.
3. Energy wasted.

I was sent an email some weeks back and since then, I cooked my boiled eggs differently.

Try this and you'll love the simplicity and efficiency!
1. Place a paper towel in your rice cooker.
2. Depending on the hardness and number of eggs, either sprinkle water or put in 5tablespoons of water.
3. Turn on the rice cooker to cook.
4. Once the rice cooker indicates it's keeping warm, you can remove the eggs and enjoy!

There's a bit of trial and error here with the number of eggs and how cooked you want it to be.

Try it, test it and you'll come to see what I mean.

Not going back to the water boiling method anymore.
