Eggs on Edaku

Shakshuka

Shakshuka originated in North Africa and has become one of the world’s most recognizable breakfasts over the past decade, for good reason: it comes together in a single pan, takes no special skill, and works equally well as a weekend breakfast or a light dinner. At its core, it’s just eggs poached directly in a thick, spiced tomato sauce with bell pepper — a simple idea that delivers a surprisingly rich result.

How to Boil Eggs Perfectly

Boiling an egg sounds like the simplest thing in the kitchen, yet it causes a surprising amount of small frustration: a yolk that turns out grayish, a white that never sets evenly, or a shell that tears off in chunks along with the egg white. In practice, the outcome comes down almost entirely to two things — precise timing and how you cool the egg afterward.

Starting in cold water versus boiling water

There are two common ways to start: place the eggs in cold water and bring everything to a boil together, or lower them gently into water that’s already boiling. The second method gives more predictable results, since the clock starts immediately and consistently, whereas starting from cold water means the time to reach a boil varies with the number of eggs and the size of the pot. To keep the shells from cracking on contact with hot water, let the eggs sit out of the fridge for a few minutes beforehand, and lower them in with a spoon rather than dropping them.

Everything About Eggs: Benefits and Myths

Few foods get debated as much as the humble egg — praised as a near-perfect source of protein one decade, treated as a cholesterol hazard the next. Here’s a look at what actually holds up and what’s mostly outdated myth.

Nutritional value

Eggs are one of the most accessible sources of complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids in a ratio the body absorbs efficiently. Beyond protein, eggs provide vitamin D, vitamin B12, and choline, which supports brain and liver function, along with lutein and zeaxanthin — antioxidants linked to eye health. Most of these nutrients are concentrated in the yolk, so skipping it in favor of egg whites alone gives up a large share of what makes eggs worthwhile.

Tomato Cheese Omelette

A tomato and cheese omelette is one of the most reliable breakfasts there is — it comes together from ingredients you almost always have on hand and doesn’t require much skill. The trick to keeping it fluffy is not to rush it over high heat; cooking it covered on low heat lets the eggs set gently and evenly instead of turning rubbery.

Fresh tomatoes add a light tang and juiciness that balances out the richness of the melted cheese nicely. If the tomatoes are very juicy, it helps to pat the diced pieces dry with a paper towel first, or the omelette can end up a little watery.
