My taste for: The eggs

source

A piece of toast and a fried egg!

The best way to start my day. It brings back old memories. I used to love having toasted bread and fried eggs during my school intervals. It's one of the most delicious and healthiest snacks we can easily make at home. Eggs are an essential ingredient that is always available in our kitchen.

🥚 How often do you usually eat eggs?

---

I include eggs in our meals almost every day. That's something I can't avoid; having a sunny-side-up egg on my plate makes me so happy. It also makes the food more appetizing for me. Now it's not just for me, I make sure to include at least one egg per day in Vihan's meals. He too loves eating egg toast. It's a healthy snack for kids.

When I was a child, I loved the egg yolk more than the egg white. It becomes a habit to save the egg yolk for last, like leaving the best part of the meal to enjoy at the end. There were times when my brother snatched the egg yolk, and I used to get really upset. Those are some great memories that I recall with a smile.

🥚 What is your favorite way to prepare eggs: fried, scrambled, boiled, or in an omelet?

---

For me, it depends on the meal I'm having with the egg. Most of the time, I make sunny-side-up eggs because they go well with rice and curry. And it's quick and easy to make. Sometimes, when I crave something spicy, I prepare a Spicy omelet by adding onions, tomatoes, and some chilies. It goes best with white rice. So, more than boiled and scrambled, I prefer eggs fried or in an omelet.

🥚 What seasonings or sauces do you put on your eggs?

---

I like to keep things simple, as eggs are my go-to comfort food. I usually use basic seasonings like salt, pepper, and a pinch of turmeric when making an Omelet. Sometimes I add some Swiss cheese on top to enhance its flavour. It does magic when the cheese melts over the egg.

🥚 What side dish do you usually enjoy with eggs?

---

I mostly enjoy eggs with toasted bread or Paratha, it's one of the healthiest and delicious breakfasts that I can make in an instant. An egg and a toasted slice of bread can satisfy your hunger any time of the day. That's my favourite combo that goes first in my mind when I'm hungry.

🥚 What is the price of a carton of eggs in your area on Steem?

---

These days, the price of a brown egg carton in our supermarket is around Lkr 490, which is approximately 13.58 Steem.

🥚What is your favorite dish where the egg is the star?

---

In Sri Lanka, we prepare an egg curry that is quite appetizing and goes well with anything like bread, string hoppers, or even rice. That's my favourite dish with eggs. My family says I make it really well. They love to enjoy the egg curry I make with toasted bread for dinner. Most of the time, it's our dinner menu. Whenever we feel like having something that unites all flavours, we make our all-time favourite dish - the Sri Lankan egg curry.

This is how I make it: First, I boil the eggs and peel them. Then, I put a slight cut in all eggs, so that they absorb all the flavours in the curry. I cook the curry by using onion, tomatoes, and some green chilies. Then I add the seasoning, coconut milk, and especially curry leaves and pandan leaves to enhance its flavour. Once the curry is well-cooked, the house fills with its aroma, and then we add the main ingredient. The curry is very flavourful because of the seasoning, curry leaves, and pandan leaves. It's a perfect and comforting dinner when we crave something warm and spicy.
