Why you need to add water when frying eggs
Cooking the perfect scrambled eggs

Fried eggs are served for breakfast all over the world. All you need to complement this dish is toast, a salad of seasonal autumn vegetables, or bacon. The perfect egg is a real dilemma for many people: it's either too dry or too runny. The yolk spreads out, and the white burns. And it seems to be a very basic dish.

The secret to perfect scrambled eggs

To fry an egg to the perfect consistency, simply pour a small amount of water into the pan while cooking. This should be done when the white is no longer transparent. This way, it will be fully cooked and the yolk will be a little runny. The water will help the eggs to steam and not burn. To achieve this effect, the dish should be cooked under a lid.

Here, too, you need to shake the eggs, but immediately after they start frying, stir them easily with a spatula. The scramble should be slightly overcooked, but its structure should still be tender.
