Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Raw egg yolks and egg whites are beaten together with a little milk. This mixture is gently stirred over heat until it resembles curds.

Answer: Scrambled

If the heat is too high when cooking scrambled eggs, liquid will separate from the curds.

2. This fried egg keeps a runny yolk, but the egg is flipped in the pan long enough for a film to form over the yolk.

Answer: Over Easy

"Over easy" fried eggs are also referred to as dippy eggs in some places due to the practice of dipping toast into the yolk while eating.

3. Leave the egg in the shell and immerse in water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until the yolk and the white are cooked through and completely set.

Answer: Hard Boiled

Large eggs take 12 to 15 minutes after reducing the heat to be hard boiled.

4. Yolks and whites are beaten and then cooked quickly in a frying pan. You don't stir, but you cook completely and fold over.

Answer: Omelet

Omelets can be plain or filled with cheese, vegetables, and/or meats.

5. Leave the egg in the shell and immerse in water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook only until the whites are set but the yolk is still liquid.

Answer: Soft Boiled

Soft-boiled eggs will take 2 to 3 minutes after heat is reduced.

Answer: Coddled

Be sure to use pasteurized eggs for coddling, since the eggs don't fully cook. Delicately coddled eggs require 6 to 8 minutes.

7. A fried egg that is never flipped, this egg has the white cooked completely while the yolk remains liquid.

Answer: Sunny Side Up

When cooking sunny-side-up eggs, you run the risk of undercooking the top of the white. Some people like it this way. But you can spoon hot fat over the whites to help set them.

8. This fried egg is flipped and cooked through until the yolk and the white are completely set.

Answer: Over Well

Some people call this method over hard. Other people say that over hard means the egg is flipped and the yolk is broken and cooked through.

9. This egg is baked in a ramekin until the white is cooked, but the yolk is still liquid.

Answer: Shirred

You can add bread crumbs or cheese to the dish of eggs to create a crust. This egg takes 12 to 14 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

10. These eggs are removed from their shell and then cooked in a hot liquid rather than fat.

Answer: Poached

You can poach eggs in water, milk, broth, or any sauce. Cooking in broth or sauce adds extra flavor.
