My favorite way to prepare eggs is to scramble them with other ingredients, and the following recipe for a Western Egg Scramble is a classic option that takes just minutes to prepare. Here’s how to make it!

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 slices of deli turkey
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 ounce diced onion
• 1 ounce sliced red and green peppers
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive oil

Instructions

Start off by heating a tablespoon or so of olive oil on medium heat in a medium skillet. When the oil has heated up, add the three large eggs and scramble them with your spatula.

Next, begin to add shredded pieces of deli turkey and cheddar cheese, your diced onion, and the sliced red and green peppers. Mix in and allow them to cook along with the eggs, adding a touch of salt and black pepper, to taste.

After just a couple of minutes, your eggs should be fluffy and ready to serve and eat. Bon appetit and enjoy your breakfast!

Poached

Poached eggs are fantastic on toast or in a salad. They are boiled in water without their shells to make a firm white body with a runny yolk. Add some salt and pepper, and you have yourself a delicious start to the day.

Soft Boiled

Another classic technique for preparing your eggs is to soft boil them. Add the eggs to boiling water for around two minutes, and then serve in their shells. The egg white should have a gooey consistency and the yolk should be runny. Dip in slices of toast and enjoy!

Scrambled

If you prefer your eggs without a runny yolk, try scrambling them. Mix the egg white and yoke together and fry over a gentle heat. Scrambled eggs are best served on toast or with sausages and tomato.

Omelet

If you are looking for something a bit more substantial, a great option is an omelet. Fry whisked egg until its firm, and add your pick of toppings.

Fried

The easiest and quickest way to prepare your eggs is to fry them in olive oil. Just break your eggs directly onto a heated pan and cook them until they go white.
