  • Add the water to the pan and cover, let the eggs cook (steam) for about 3 minutes or until the whites are cooked through.
  • Remove the lid and add the cheese to one egg only, cover and cook for another minute or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • To plate, turn the egg over with no cheese onto a plate, add the crispy bacon strips, turn the egg with cheese over the top of the bacon, cheese side down.
  • Serve with toast, enjoy, with a fork.

Variants: 1. Add some ham slices. 2. Add some sliced spring onion to each egg after cracking into the rings. 3. Add some chopped mushrooms to the eggs after cracking into the rings. 4. For more cheese, add a slice of cheese, your choice, to the first egg on the plate. 5. Use duck eggs in place of chicken eggs.

Crab Omelet

Adapted from several Asian style recipes.
For this, I will use imitation crab meat, it is just fish, and I like it. This is based somewhat on Filipino and Thai Omelets. Some Filipino omelets cook the filling first and later added, and many Thai omelets are just flat with fillings added with the eggs, not folded, so let's combine these methods.

Easiest Deviled Eggs, Ever!

For a basic deviled egg, the egg yolks are mixed with mayo and mustard, well we are not going to do that. So actually, you could call this the laziest way to make deviled eggs, ever. This recipe assumes you already have hard boiled eggs available, and if someone else prepared those, and peeled them, bonus for being even more easy (or lazy). Basically if you have hard boiled eggs, this is just another way to enjoy them.
