How to Halve an Egg

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Crack the egg into a bowl.

   Gently tap the egg against the edge of the bowl or on the counter.
   
   Once you get a crack in the shell, place your finger in the crack and pull the shell apart.
   
   Then dump the whole egg – the white and the yolk – into the bowl./images/thumb/2/26/Halve-an-Egg-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-550px-Halve-an-Egg-Step-1-Version-2.jpg /images/thumb/2/26/Halve-an-Egg-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-300px-Halve-an-Egg-Step-1-Version-2.jpg

   Step 2: Whisk the yolk and white together.

   You can use a fork or whisk for this.
   
   Move the fork or whisk in a circular motion in the egg, making sure to break the yoke.
   
   The egg is fully whisked when the mixture is a yellow color./images/thumb/b/be/Halve-an-Egg-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-550px-Halve-an-Egg-Step-2-Version-2.jpg /images/thumb/b/be/Halve-an-Egg-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-300px-Halve-an-Egg-Step-2-Version-2.jpg , You can measure the whisked egg in a measuring cup or with a scale if you have one.
   
   Split it in half by removing half of the total amount (usually with a small cup or spoon)./images/thumb/8/8b/Halve-an-Egg-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-550px-Halve-an-Egg-Step-3-Version-2.jpg /images/thumb/8/8b/Halve-an-Egg-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-300px-Halve-an-Egg-Step-3-Version-2.jpg
