Steam-fried eggs

Today I wanted to make something quick and easy for my New Year's brunch.

Found this recipe from the cook book called Healthy food by Lesley Waters

"Steam-fried eggs

serves 4

a little olive oil

4 eggs

handful of small basil leaves

freshly ground black pepper

4 slices of wholemeal bread, toasted

1. heat a large non-stick frying pan until very hot, then carefully wipe with kitchen paper dipped in oil.

2. crack the eggs into the pan, spacing them apart, and reduce the heat to low. cover with a lid, so they start to steam, and cook for about 4 minutes for soft eggs, or flip over for a minute if you prefer a firm set yolk.

3. season with black pepper and scatter over a little basil. serve on toast.

a healthy fried egg, cooked in the minimum of oil, makes a tasty nourishing breakfast that will keep you sustained through to lunch."

page 27.

Here are a few pictures. I only made half the recipe.

Cooking and baking

Decided to make a cooking blog site. I collect cook books and I have about 12 of them so far plus extra recipes that I have collected. I love to bake and I like to cook, using recipes.

My goal for this year is to cook or bake something every day. Or at least go through 5 recipes per week, preferably 7-10. Just gonna choose a recipe each time from my different cook books instead of going through all the recipes in one cookbook.

My new year's brunch.

p.s. I have started a new blog, a cooking/baking blog. Check it out http://johannacooks.blogspot.com/
