When you have a busy morning ahead of you, making 4\u20136 eggs at once will save you time and effort. These eggs are steamed in a small amount of butter and water, which creates solid whites and soft, creamy yolks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to baste eggs to bring out the rich taste of fresh eggs while reducing the amount of fat in them. Once you do, you’ll wonder why you’ve never tried this dish before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn all about basted eggs and how to make this simple and easy recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is A Basted Egg? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make a basted egg, people typically heat the egg in fat (often butter) and then spoon some of that butter over the egg while it’s still cooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people like this cooking method because it means that you don\u2019t have to flip the egg over to cook the top, which is usually what causes the yolk to break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with using butter to baste an egg is that it gives the egg a very high-saturated-fat level, which, despite its delicious flavor, is very unhealthy if you eat it often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, you can still make basted eggs by using steam instead, which makes the eggs taste almost identical to when butter is used, except these will have significantly less fat and so be much healthier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basted Eggs Vs Poached Eggs <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love poached eggs, then you may be wondering what the difference between these cooking methods is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, eggs are poached by placing them in a pan with boiling water (often with vinegar added) and covering the pan with a lid. The white of a poached egg will be solid, but the yolk will be runny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basted eggs are usually made by cooking the egg in a pan filled with butter or oil and a tiny amount of water. The water slowly evaporates as the lid is kept on, which results in the eggs being steamed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is a lot healthier than others you may find, as it uses only a light coating of butter (or cooking spray) to keep the egg from sticking to the pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of simmering the egg in butter and oil, this recipe calls for just a light covering of butter which will give you a good flavor without being too unhealthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because you don’t have a lot of fat to baste the egg with, we’re going to make steam by adding a tablespoon of water on top of the egg and then closing the pan with a lid. This will help the egg cook more evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to flip the egg because it will be ready in only a couple of minutes and give you a perfectly runny yolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
