Cooking tips
To toast bread, you can reduce cooking time and make it more flavorful by frying it in oil, choosing butter or vegetable oil depending on your preference. Just be careful not to burn the bread.
When frying eggs, be careful not to overcook them; some of the omelette should remain moist, otherwise the sandwich will turn out too dry and not very tasty.
