After 10 minutes in a sealed container, the delicacy is ready.

2. Fried eggs in bread

You can, of course, just fry 1 egg and turn a piece of bread into a toast, but it will be much more interesting to cut the middle in a slice of bread, put it in a pan, beat an egg into it, salt, cover everything with a lid, and then fry for 5 minutes over medium heat. If there is an extra minute of time, then it would be good to first fry the bread on both sides for 30 seconds, and only then introduce the egg. It is better to cook everything in butter - the taste of scrambled eggs in bread then turns out to be more tender.

3. Omelette in tomato

Omelet is no less popular dish than scrambled eggs. In 5 minutes you can cook a real masterpiece. It is necessary to cut off the tops from 2 large tomatoes and take out the pulp with a spoon.

Fritters are loved not only by children, but also by adults. To make them equally tasty and healthy, it would be good to use oat flakes in cooking.
