Healthy: Microwaved Eggs
Microwaves often garner a negative reputation mostly because people use them to heat up ready-made microwavable meals or yesterday’s leftover takeout. But microwaves are actually a great way to cook eggs without killing off nutrients. Since they heat quickly, your eggs spend less time exposed to heat, which helps preserve vitamins like B2 and folate.
The best part is that you can make eggs in under two minutes. Whisk in a mug, microwave, stir, done. Add a little chopped spinach or bell pepper and some freshly cracked black pepper for flavour.
Unhealthy: Deviled Eggs
Ah, deviled eggs, the party snack that tricks you into thinking it’s healthy because it’s small. But all that mayo in the filling adds up, especially if you’re going back for seconds (or thirds).
But there’s an easy way to keep the vibe but cut the fat. Just use Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It’s still creamy, but also adds extra protein and probiotics. You can even keep the mustard and paprika, they’re doing no harm.
