Lining a Frying Pan:
Scrambled Eggs: Creamy & Cheesy or with Fresh Thyme
Simply line the frying pan with culinary parchment paper and place the egg mixture directly onto the paper. This helps prevent overcooking which can cause burnt eggs. Burnt eggs lead to a stuck on mess. The frying pan remains clean as a whistle and the eggs can be prepared to your desired level of creaminess and fluffiness. Cooking healthy means reducing butter, margarine, oil or cooking sprays. In fact, culinary parchment paper is useful in protecting the eggs against potentially harmful Teflon surfaces by creating a non-stick barrier between the pan and the eggs.
