Healthy: Steamed Eggs
Not the most common method, but hear me out: steaming eggs is underrated. You get the same benefits as boiling (no added fat, nutrients stay intact), but the texture is smoother and softer. And if you drizzle some soy sauce or even a little bit of chili oil on top—chef’s kiss. It also gives you an excuse to finally use that steamer basket sitting in the back of your cupboard.
Unhealthy: Egg Soufflé
Soufflés sound fancy and refined because they are. But they also tend to come with a side of butter, cream, cheese, and refined white flour. This doesn’t exactly sound light and healthy, does it? Especially if you’re watching your cholesterol. However, most of us don’t eat this often, so it shouldn’t be that big of a problem.
We can’t imagine anyone making egg soufflé every day, but in case you’re just that big of a fan, try lightening it up with skim milk and less cheese. You can even sneak in some spinach to balance things out. It won’t be exactly the same, but your arteries won’t mind.
