🥚 How to Use Lemon Juice with Eggs
You don’t need much—just 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per 2–3 eggs is enough to make a noticeable difference. Here’s how to incorporate it depending on the preparation:
For Scrambled Eggs:
Crack eggs into a bowl.
Add 1/2 tsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Whisk thoroughly and cook as usual in a non-stick pan with butter or oil.
For Omelets:
Add lemon juice to the egg mixture before whisking, then continue with your fillings and folding.
For Poached Eggs:
Add 1–2 teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar to simmering water before gently sliding in your cracked eggs. The acid helps the whites hold together for a perfectly shaped poach.
For Boiled Eggs:
A splash of lemon juice in the water can help make peeling easier and improve the appearance of the whites.
🍽 Bonus Ideas
Egg Salad Upgrade: Swap some of the vinegar or mayo in egg salad with a squeeze of lemon for a brighter, more modern flavor.
Deviled Eggs: Add lemon juice to the yolk mixture for a fresh twist that balances out the richness of the mayo and yolks.
đź§ Final Thoughts
It might seem too simple to be true, but just a tiny splash of lemon juice can dramatically improve the taste, texture, and appearance of your eggs. It’s an easy kitchen hack that doesn’t require any extra time or fancy tools—just a lemon and a little curiosity.
