Recipe How do you like your eggs?

I know we've talked about eggs in other threads before, but Remixer made me curious with his mention of sunnyside-up eggs. How do you like your eggs?

I like eggs. Sunnyside-up is about the only way I don't like them. I also don't like them overhard. Everything else is good, though. I really liked fried eggs a lot, and scrambled eggs too. I eat those a fair bit. When I fry an egg, I like to do it really loooow and sloooow so that the egg stays completely white on the outside, no bits of brown. I HATE BROWNED EGG. This is probably why I don't like overhard eggs. Sometimes I'll take it off quickly so it's waaay overeasy, sometimes I'll let it stay for a bit and shoot for overmedium.

So how do you prefer your eggs? Poached? Scrambled? Overmedium? Overeasy? Hardboiled? Softboiled? Pickled? En cocotte? Scotched? In an omelette?

 

Unfertilized.



That aside, I love eggs in almost any form. I love me a good omelette. I love scrambled eggs. I like eggs over easy. I like eggs over medium. I'm ok with hard boiled, though it is not my favorite. If I had to choose only one or two ways to ever have eggs again, it would probably be scrambled and/or over easy. I love having eggs over easy and dipping toast in them. *yum*

 

My hubs makes a great eggy in a basket (or toad in a hole, whichever you prefer) and that's the best part--it's toast and runny egg together!

 

Bacon grease makes EVERYTHING better.

 

Magpie prefers her eggs sunny side up, so that's how I usually cook them. I'm good with just about any kind of eggs -- scrambled, poached, boiled, fried. I enjoy omelettes but I don't make them very often because they're usually more work than I feel like doing in the morning; weekend breakfasts are just bacon, eggs and toast as often as not.

Magpie does toad in the hole when she makes her own, but has never asked me to make it for her.

 

Martian, you could say we're the reverse. I never make it when I make eggs, but he makes it pretty consistently when he makes eggs.

 

Do you have a waffle iron?

Try shredding up some potatoes and cooking them in a waffle iron. You won't be disappointed with those hashbrowns.

 

Forgot to mention, some of the best scrambled eggs I've had in my life were at my favorite restaurant ever. David Burke's in Chicago has a stellar brunch. They make a lobster scrambled egg dish that is almost half lobster. It is to die for.

 

The double-sided heat really helps crisp them up. I like to have really crispy hashbrowns, but obviously I don't want them burned. This seems to do the trick. Let us know how it works for you.

 

I've been meaning to try this.

 

You must. This is the Food Forum, I hold it sacred, I would not lie or mislead you.

 

Sunny-side up. (and toast to soak up the good mess)

Or scrambled with cheese (sometimes with a bit of salsa and wrapped in a tortilla)
