Tips that make the difference
What separates a recipe that works from one that falls flat.
Prep the night before
Crêpe or waffle batter rests happily overnight in the fridge: in the morning, all that's left is to cook.
Room-temperature eggs
Taken out 10 minutes ahead, eggs cook more evenly and are less likely to crack in boiling water.
Low heat for scrambled eggs
Pull the pan off the heat while they still look a little wet: they finish cooking on the plate.
Freeze crêpes and waffles
Layered with parchment paper, they freeze well and reheat in 1 minute in the toaster.
On the savory side
Eggs every which way, shakshuka and stuffed croissants.
Eggs, minute by minute
Take the eggs out of the fridge a little ahead of time and lower them gently into boiling water.
| Style | Time | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Soft-boiled egg | 3 min | White set, yolk fully runny, perfect for dipping toast |
| Jammy egg | 6 min | Creamy yolk: run it under cold water before peeling |
| Hard-boiled egg | 9 to 10 min | Yolk fully set, cooled in cold water |
| Poached egg | 3 min | In barely simmering water with a splash of vinegar, no salt |
| Scrambled eggs | 3 to 5 min | Over low heat, stirring constantly |
| Fried egg | 3 to 4 min | Skillet over medium heat, covered with a lid to set the top |

Your questions
What breakfast can I make in under 10 minutes?
Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, a yogurt bowl with fruit and muesli: several recipes on this page are ready in 10 minutes, cleanup included.
How do I make a savory breakfast?
Eggs are the easiest place to start (scrambled, fried, in an omelet or a shakshuka), with toast, cheese or vegetables. The “Savory” filter in the list brings them all together.
Can I make crêpe batter ahead of time?
Yes: it keeps up to 24 hours in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap. Stir it just before cooking, and thin it with a little milk if it has thickened.
