The Perfect Egg & A BergHOFF Cast Iron Pan #Giveaway

How to Make a Perfect Fried Egg

Eggs, over-medium, always.  In all of my egg-ordering, egg-preparing years, I can’t recall ever wanting anything but.  Super runny, sunshiny yolks surrounded by fully {and I mean fully} cooked whites – it’s a perfect balance that isn’t as easy to come by as one might think.  And at home, it took months of Saturday morning trial and error to get the most photogenic version of my ideal egg.

The easiest way to make sure all of the whites are cooked through is a quick flip.  But the second that flip happens, gone goes your pretty yolk.  Skip the flip and cover the pan with a lid?  That yolk will frost over like a mirror after your hottest shower.  Finish off in the broiler?  Almost…  You’ll likely ruin your favorite nonstick pan.

The secret to a perfectly cooked over-medium egg is using a different pan.

Turn the broiler on high.  Heat an enameled cast iron pan, greased, over medium-high heat.  When pan is heated {which takes a bit longer than a traditional frying pan} fry egg until most of the white is cooked through.  And then finish off in the broiler for 30-45 seconds, keeping a close eye on both the whites and yolk.  Don’t forget your oven mitt! And double check your cast iron’s stats, but it should be good in temps up to 500 degrees.

Don’t have an enameled cast iron pan?  You’re in luck!  I’ve teamed up with BergHOFF, the maker of my favorite cast iron grill pan, to giveaway the 9″ enameled cast iron fry pan pictured below!

Tis The Season For A @NatureBox Giveaway

by

As soon as we opened our FoodBuzz Fest swag bags, we had a hunch that whatever was in the big box was going to be our favorite.  Bigger equals better, right?  But honestly, we spent little time swag bag sorting and, instead, packed our treats away and spent our time galavanting around and eating our way through San Fran.

Fast forward a couple weeks to Halloween when candy posts dominated every ounce of social media feeds which caused me to frantically search through my cabinets for anything that would satisfy my jealousy-induced sweet tooth.  I spotted my NatureBox treats, popped a few fancy clusters in my mouth, raised my hands in the air for a mini “hurrah!” moment, finished half of the bag, and then, naturally, tweeted my excitement.

The folks at NatureBox promptly responded to my tweet asking if FoodFash readers would be interested in a giveaway.  Surely they would.  And what they’d be even more interested in this holiday season would be two Nature Boxes:  one for themselves and one for a friend.  They loved the idea!

Each Nature Box includes 4 to 6 packages of delish snacks ranging from granola, clusters, trail mix, fruits, and nuts.  And when you fall in love with your Nature Box, you can easily sign up for Nature Box delivery for months to come.

Here’s how to win a NatureBox for you and a friend!
