17 December 2009

By Colin Roche, MBA, CEC, CCE, FMP, CHE

lesson_jan10Knowing how to prepare the different stages of a fried egg is an important task that can easily be taught to your class in your culinary lab.

Eggs are among the most versatile and nutritious foods. In addition, eggs possess many qualities that make them indispensible in the kitchen. It is important for students to know how to cook eggs, a skill that is not as simple as it may seem.

This downloadable lesson plan in MS Word provides egg nutrition, fried-egg descriptions and cooking methods. Focuses of study include explaining the differences between the five types of fried eggs, demonstrating how to cook the five types, and sharing why knowing how to fry an egg is important in the foodservice industry. An egg lab instructs on having students prepare and plate the various types of fried eggs.

Upon completion of this presentation, the student will be able to better understand how the time and technique for cooking fried eggs vary according to the type of fried egg, and also will have developed his or her skill at flipping a fried egg.


Colin Roche is department chair at the College of Culinary Arts at the North Miami campus of Johnson & Wales University, as well as an assistant professor teaching a variety of culinary and hospitality courses.
