Eggs are versatile. You can cook them, bake them with them, and fry them. But they can also be grilled and you have probably never tried this method before.
Eggs are full of valuable nutrients and are regularly put on the table for many Germans. There are different opinions about how long to cook eggs, whether to make scrambled eggs with or without milk, and how to properly fry fried eggs. There is one cooking method that you probably haven't come across yet: the grill. Yes, you read that right, you can grill eggs too. And that doesn't mean that you put the pan on the hot grid and just fry it there.
How to grill eggs properly
The point is actually to cook the whole eggs on the grill, as the "bonappetit" site recommends. All you need is a hot grill, any number of eggs, grill tongs and a few minutes of patience .
- Use the grill tongs to place the intact eggs on the wire rack, but not too close to the fire or the shell may burst. It works best on the edge of the grillage or in the indirect zone. You can also pierce the eggs beforehand to be on the safe side.
- Now wait between six and 14 minutes , depending on how soft you want the yolk to be. Don't be surprised: the peel may turn brown.
- Then carefully remove the eggs from the grate with the grill tongs and soak them in cold water so that they no longer cook and have the perfect consistency.

That's why you should grill eggs from now on
At first glance, it might seem pointless to grill eggs like this. One thing is clear: you shouldn't heat up the grill for this, of course, but if you're celebrating a grill party anyway, it's worth cooking side eggs with steak, sausage and the like . You will be rewarded with a tender egg white and soft egg yolk and the eggs have an unmistakable smoky taste that you cannot achieve with other cooking methods, promises “bonappetit”. So give it a try and you are guaranteed to amaze your grill guests. (ante) * Merkur.de is part of the nationwide Ippen-Digital editorial network.
