Today’s challenge is less about flavour, and more about fun: we are teaching you how to flip eggs at home like the pros – without breaking the yolk.

Eggslut explain:

1. Use a small frying pan and cook your egg on medium heat.
2. Your egg is ready to flip when it can easily move around inthe pan
3. Angle the pan down so that the egg moves towards the edgefurthest away from you.
4. Thrust the same edge upwards in a smooth fast motion, so theegg flies up in front of you.
5. Softly catch the egg in the pan, letting it land gently withthe yolk facing downwards
6. Using the same small motion, thrust the edge of the panupwards to flip your egg again so the yolk is facing upwards.
