Cooking Tips
🥚 Eggs
- For fluffy scrambled eggs, cook low and slow, stirring constantly.
- Add a splash of vinegar to water for better poached eggs.
- Older eggs are easier to peel when hard-boiled.
Nutrition: Complete protein with all essential amino acids. One large egg has 6g protein and 70 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate eggs up to 5 weeks. Hard-boiled eggs keep 1 week in the fridge.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
