Eggs provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids for good health. In addition, they're affordable, adaptable, and quick to cook alone or in your favorite dish. However, how eggs are cooked may greatly affect their nutritional worth.
The unhealthiest methods to prepare eggs probably include frying. Basically, frying means heating things over high heat in oil or butter.
Let's be clear -- boiling can, in fact, be a very healthy way of preparing eggs. When it comes to hard-boiled eggs, the key is once again not to subject them to such high temperatures that they begin to lose their nutritional value.
Soft-boiling isn't the only way to prepare eggs, and it's clear to understand why some prefer it over "hard-cooking" ways. High heat destroys egg nutrition and dries up the meal.
Microwave, yes. Is there a simpler kitchen appliance? Doubtful, but air fryers are challenging microwaves. Though not the healthiest or safest method to prepare eggs, microwaving them is not the worst.
Unfortunately, one of the tastiest egg cooking methods is also the unhealthiest. Quiche, casserole, and soufflé use eggs as the main ingredient, but they also contain cheese, cream, and pie crust and other unhealthy ingredients.
Scrambling eggs depends on several elements that determine their healthiness. Many scrambling techniques include oil and butter, which may degrade eggs' nutritional value.
It's hardly the healthiest way to eat eggs, but it's not the worst. Hard-boiled eggs with the firm yolk removed are combined with mayonnaise and mustard then spooned or piped back into the white.
