Cucumber is the most frequent guest on our table at any time of the year. In winter and autumn, we are happy to eat pickled and pickled cucumbers, and in spring and summer, fresh salads from this vegetable. In cooking, in addition to the traditional ways of using cucumbers, there are many interesting recipes in which vegetables are heat-treated. Cucumbers are added to stews, soups and fried in oil. There are even special varieties of cucumbers for frying. We offer to prepare an original snack – fried cucumbers with eggs. The dish is suitable for serving for dinner or for a buffet.
For the recipe, you will need large cucumbers that are not overripe. It is best to fry vegetables in odorless vegetable oil. When choosing eggs, give preference to farm or home-grown eggs with a bright yolk. For spiciness, garlic or ground pepper can be added to the egg mass. Combined dressing – sour cream with mayonnaise.
