Eggs are everywhere. Easy to cook, inexpensive, good for health ... provided you prepare them well. Because yes, you can quickly switch an egg from a super food to a very fatty dish. Here are 7 very simple ways to enjoy the eggs without taking the lead.

1. Hard eggs

Cook a hard egg is probably the simplest. No need for oil or fat. We put it in boiling water, and in 9 to 12 minutes, it's ready. In addition, it keeps all its benefits: complete proteins, vitamins, minerals ... White is rich in protein, and yellow contains what is needed in good fats and micronutrients.

2. The poached eggs

The poached egg has this soft and melting texture that we love. He is preparing in simmering water, without fat. We keep the nutritional interest of the egg, without adding it to an overly oily pan. The little extra: it's pretty, so perfect on a avocado toast or a salad.

3. Steam eggs

Less famous, the steam egg is to be discovered absolutely. He cooked gently, without aggression or fat. Result: a soft egg, more tender than a hard egg, and easier to digest. To be tested to change cooking in boiling water.

4. Baked eggs

The eggs cooked in the oven are perfect for improvised small dishes. In a ramekin or directly on vegetables, they allow you to have a full meal without adding fat. The oven allows uniform cooking, without direct contact with a pan, and without surplus of fat.

5. Eggs in the microwave

Surprising, but practical: the microwave egg is preparing in one minute. Little nutrient loss, no need to add oil. It can be cook it scrambled in a cup or even poached with a little water. Fast, clean and efficient.

6. Omelettes

An omelet can be very healthy or become a fat bomb if you don't pay attention. To stay on the right side, we use a drizzle of olive oil, we avoid too rich cheeses and add vegetables. We get a complete, nourishing and light meal. Besides, many love it with breakfast out of France.

7. Eggs in salads

The egg gets married with any vegetable or starchy vegetable: tomato, cucumber, potato, rice ... The real concern with egg salad is that you often put too much mayonnaise. A simple alternative is to replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. We keep the creamy texture, we gain in protein, and we avoid excess fat. Perfect for a lunchbox or a spread.

The eggs are good. What makes the difference is our way of cooking them. No need to be a chef or a nutritionist: avoiding excess butter, frying and too oily sauces, we draw all the benefits. And above all, we enjoy without guilt.
