Egg Head

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, right? I can't get through a week without hearing this phrase. It's ingrained but why is it so important? The truth is in the numbers

• 16 Hours: That's how long breakfast (or lack there-of) can effect your day. Eating breakfast makes your entire day better. It's akin to wearing your favorite socks or matching underwear; it just sets the tone.
• 30% Less: People who eat breakfast are 30% less likely to be obese.
• 15%: On average people who eat breakfast weigh about 15% less than those who don't.
• 6-8: You have been in a state of starvation for the last several hours, starvation screws with metabolism. You need replenish your nutritional reserves.
• 10: People who eat breakfast tend to perform 10 % better on test and school work.

So yeah it's a pretty good routine. So what should you eat for breakfast? Well, food is a good place to start. But don't just stuff your face with the contents of your cupboard. You want a combination of protein and carbohydrates. Protein will keep you full and carbs will give you quick energy for your morning. So you choose what floats your boat. I prefer eggs and miscellaneous additions dependent on my cravings. 

Eggs are pretty damn awesome. They contain riboflavin, B12, and act as an appetite suppressant. So obviously you should eat eggs. Now the question is: how? The beauty of eggs is there are practically a million ways to prepare them. Sunny side, over easy, over medium, scrambled, poached, deviled, soft boiled, hard boiled, egg white omelet, normal omelet, baked egg and more. Odds you don't know how to make most of these and can't even tell me which is your favorite. My suggestion try them all. Find your favorites and rotate so you always enjoy the spice of life.

My preference is Sunny Side Up. I like the taste, the consistency, and and the method. And also it fills me with an odd sense off accomplishment because my mom could never successfully make a sunny side egg. This one I taught her!!! It's really easy.

1. Thoroughly butter your pan.
2. Get that pan freaking hot!!
3. Crack your egg into the pan.
4. Cover it and remove it from the heat.
5. Technique varies here depending on your utensils. If your pan retains heat well it'll take about a minute and a half, off heat and covered. If it doesn't put it on a low heat for about two minutes.

Voila! It's done! I love how nice they look. They look almost fake it's cooked so well. Season to your tastes and enjoy. 

 

Wit: Delicious with egg is toast or ham. They complement and soak up excess yolk.

Also Wit: Get adventurous if you have time. Add onion, add tomato, add mushroom. Cook some potatoes too.

Also Also Wit: This is really great to half ass cook. While it's cooking you can be gathering your school work, applying mascara, get dressed. It doesn't require your undivided attention.

Also Also Also Wit: So delicious.

Over Medium Eggs

This is just one extra step after Sunny side up. 

Once your at whites are thoroughly cooked (if it's not your yolk will break) flip it over and cook for another minute. 

So easy!
