How do you like your eggs?
 

From FreeRecipe.org:

Boiled Eggs

Let the eggs down into boiling water with a spoon, and boil 2-1/2 to 3 minutes for soft and 4 minutes for medium. Serve at once. Hard-boiled eggs should remain in the water for 20 minutes.

Poached Eggs

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, with a little salt to flavor. Break the eggs one at a time into a sauce dish, and let down gently into the hot water. Set where the water will keep just below the boiling point; and when the white is "set," lift out on a perforated spoon, and place on toast, or on a warm dish, and serve.

Scrambled Eggs

Break 2 eggs into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon milk, and beat only slightly. Oil a frying pan and when hot, add the eggs and a sprinkle of salt, and scrape the bottom of the pan continuously with a silver spoon until the mixture is soft and jellied. Remove the eggs from the fire while they are softer than wished for serving, as they will continue to cook and harden after they are removed from the fire. If salt is added before eggs are partly cooked, it tends to give them a red color.

Steamed Eggs

Oil a skillet, and when slightly hot, break in the eggs and sprinkle over them about 3 tablespoons or more of water for every 2 eggs. Sprinkle lightly with salt, cover with a tight-fitting cover, and cook over a medium fire until white over the top, like a poached egg, at the same time soft cooked. Remove and serve immediately.

Jellied or Coddled Egg

Put 1 pint of water into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Drop 1 egg into the water with a spoon, and set the vessel on the table for 7 minutes. Remove from the water and serve. If more eggs are added, the water must be increased in proportion. Likewise, if the saucepan is wide-mouthed or broad, there must be more than enough boiling water to cover the eggs. The rule is a pint to an egg in a deep utensil.

Plain Omelet

Beat 2 eggs slightly. Add 1 tablespoon milk and a sprinkle of salt. Put 2 teaspoons vegetable butter in a (preferably round and hollow-bottomed) frying pan, and when quite hot, add the eggs, and keep them continuously in motion, by shaking the pan, or by constantly working with a silver fork as for scrambled egg, at the start. When the mass is soft cooked, let rest on the fire as you pick up one side with a spoon or a fork, fold over to the other side, and turn out on a hot platter. Serve immediately.

From GoodEgg.com:

Sunny Side Up or Over-Easy

For traditional sunny-side up eggs, melt 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter in a 8-inch non-stick omelet pan or skillet over medium heat. Break open eggs into pan and immediately reduce heat to low. Cook slowly until the whites are completely set and the yolks begins to thicken, but are not hard. For over easy-eggs flip over for 15 seconds. Serve eggs right away and enjoy!

I usually like them scrambled because the texture just seem to make it taste better when it's nice and fluffy. Close runner-ups are boiled (then sliced for a salad or something), sunny-side up, or omelets (with just about everything on it, especially Mediterrean style).

over medium! sounds picky, but most restaurants know what i mean........like over easy but the white isn't runny at all.

Scrambled eggs on toast, nothing better for breakfast!

Scrambled - and beat the hell out of 'em please!

Oh, and also lotsa butter and no chunky bits!

The closest I can get to eggs is french toast. Any closer to actual egg, and the texture freaks me out. I don't like mushrooms, either.

mmmm scrambled eggs bacon and OJ mmmm no better way to start a day

Eggs make me cry. Evil, sick smelly things. They should be ILLEGAL.

I'm with jimk, firm white, runny yellow all the way.

Scrambled, definitely. Sometimes with sauteed garlic, sometimes with sauteed green onions. If good avocados are available (most of the time in sunny Cal), I'll chop an avocado up and put the eggs on top. With lots of hot sauce.

scrambled or boiled

I like eggs any which way, but voted for poached, preferabbly with lots of salt and pepper over white bread... Yummmy...

I have always liked mine sunny side up. Hmm....with some bacon!

Scrambled with salsa! If not salsa, hot sauce. Other than that, I have favorite way, cook them like they are sunny side up, then when the white is firm, flip them over. I call it frying? Good with just hot sauce, and toast!

I'll take 'em however I can get them. Over here they eat more raw eggs (mostly as a binder in other non-cooked foods) than I ever thought possible. It grows on you.

mhm, same here.

i dont really like the taste of eggs that much, either.

once in a great while, i can eat scrambeled eggs if they have lots of veggies in them, pref with salsa too.
but only every couple years or so.

eggs. bleh.

:)

I like hard boiled eggs. I usually have 2 for breakfast.
Also, fried eggs- sunny side up.
And loaded omelets.

Interesting. I absolutely love mushrooms and eggs! I'll probably never be able to figure out what it is about the texture that people dislike about it. My aunt is the same way and won't eat mushrooms. She also doesn't like oysters which I guess is similar in texture. I wonder if it's related or just something psychological.

i love em sunny side up...

a friend of mine just told me aboubt how he cooks these with a couple of thin shreds of
cheese melted in them...

i also particularly enjoy them boiled, or sometimes even soft-boiled (with toast soldiers).

yum yum yum...

great thread collide, i lurve my eggs

I like them all ways but try a Toad in the hole there great. Take your favorite bread(mine's whole grain) and tear a hole in the middle and butter one side. Put buttered side down in hot pan and break an egg in the hole and filp when bottom is brown. Take out of pan when yoke is done the way you like. Runny is best so you can dip the edges of the toast in the yoke. Yum

I like em' any way at all. From raw to hard boiled and any way in between.
Chicken, duck, goose, quail, ostrich...love em'.

I like mine in a burrito.

I like eggs most any way but a western omelet is the best.

egg cheese (bacon) on a croissant or bagel

cheese omelet is good

I rarely eat eggs by themselves. On the rare occasion that I do, I can only eat mine scrambled ( NOT runny).

I rather like an egg swimming in cream, baked on top of a generous wedge of fois gras in a ramekin (great name for a little pot). Not every day, mind:)

I like 'em poached.

..

Sunny side up with really good bread to soak up the yolk. If the bread sucks, I'll just firm the yolk up.

For an evening meal, I'm more likely to make a plain omelette with melted parmesan cheese.

Scrambled.. but its all good

im surprised more people like sunny side up or over-easy than scrambled... its seems to me that everyone gets scrambled. personally i like em over-medium, over-easy is a little bit too runny for me, unless i have a good piece of toast

SUNNY N' RUNNY!

I like em poached too.

I like them scrambled just because I can't stand a whole yolk.

i like them a variety of ways :)

hard boiled for it's easy compactness.

scrambled for it's simplicity

over easy for dippin' toast

poached for benedict

....

Scrambled is my first choice for eggs and hard boiled is my second choice.

I like 'em over easy... mmm hungry now :)

I'm a toast dipper ... I'll have mine over-easy please .

Always been a scrambled guy, but lately been doing more over easy...

First of all, what's vegetable butter? Anyway, how come nobody else voted for omelets. There freakin awesome.

I am the king of the slow cooked fluffy plain omlette.
I make them with 1 egg and 2 egg beaters.

Over easy with two pieces of toast. Nothing like dunking the toast into the egg yolk...

i love all eggs as long as they are cooked correctly overcooked or undercooked eggs can be nasty but even eggnog is good =)

Isn't this a pick up line??

"How do you like your eggs in the morning? Scrambled, over-easy, or fertilized?"

sunny-side up, or over-easy, or scrambled...

I cook em myself so they are right - cooked in no grease or butter or nuttin'...salt and pepper - that's it.
simple-like.

i prefer egg salad when eating eggs...but for traditional breakfast ill take scrambled

Bolied thanks. With salt and pepper.

Scrambled with onion, cheddar cheese, and chorizo sausage mixed in. Top with a little sour cream, maybe some salsa or jalepeno slices.

Them's good eat'n!

You cant go past creme eggs. I can never get enough of them.

Eggs Benedict with real hollandaise sauce.

I like mine over hard, Firm white and yolk. with lots of pepper, between two slices of bread with mayo.

over easy :)

I tell them over medium- like over easy, but they cook it a little longer and not so runny.

YEA this is one thing i do cook

SUPER SIMPLE OMLETS
First i take 4-5 eggs, 1/8 of a large onion(more for the onion lovers like me) , 1/16 of a red pepper. 1/16 of a green pepper, some precooked ground beef (possible the meat from tacos the previous night), a dash of salt, a dash of pepper, a few slices of cheese, and dont forget to cook your toast in the pan after you make the omlet
PS. best toast ever is greasy omlet residue tasteing toast

I like sunnyside up or scrambled Or Omlets..MMM~ yummers. I used to work at a retirement home and one elderly would ask for poached eggs..now she told me how to prepare it since ive never done it before..but she told me to put a little bit of vinegar in the boiling water to keep the whites from seperating..seems to work..or is it a useless ingredient?

scrambled, with pepper and adobo..

I like my eggs scrambled, but to be honest, I really don't like plain eggs all that much. I ate them too much as a kid and I got sick of them heh.

Eggs in the bascket. YUM!

Nothing better then having an egg inside of some bread with the yoke running all over it!

When i do eat eggs, i usually have them scrambled.

I don't eat a whole lot of eggs, and don't really like them that much, but Scrambled with cheese on top is good. Then the cheese omelets my dad makes every so often are good too.

fryed in a pan with other assorted breakfast food mixed in kinda like a ommlette thats scrambled =)

Eggs completely freak me out.
Like others have said, I can't stand the sight, smell, or texture of them. Same with mayo, as it's mostly egg product.
Keep away!!

Lesse,
Fried over easy in bacon grease, dusted with garlic, pinch of salt, two grinds of black pepper, couple drops of tabasco, topped with american cheese, between two slices of white bread toast with a 1/8 inch thick slice of vidalia onion, three strips think cut bacon, and a bit of ketchup (the only thing I use ketchup for).

Omlette, whites whipped to soft peaks, yolks mixed with sour cream, parmesan, oregano, garlic, basil, and cubed proscuitto, cooked slow in olive oil, then filled with onions, tomatoes, black olives, salami and provelone.

Raw, blended with milk, banana, chocolate syrup, and vanilla ice cream.

Only kind of egg I don't care for is hard boiled. Something about the texture of the white. **Shudder**

Poached hard served on toast.

Omelet with Portuguese sausage.

That was a really hard decision but i chose boiled. With toast dipped in them yummmmm.

hard boiled, scrambled, up, or over easy - that's good eggs.

I have to go with either over medium or over hard; take one after you've cooked it and put it between the halves of a toasted english muffin with a little cream cheese. Makes for a great breakfast.

Overeasy most definately. Thanks for the quick easy recipes for all those types too. I was wondering how to do some of them.

nothing better then scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes,

im hungry now ill post the rest later.

Its a mix up between scrambled and sunnyside up.. Or even a technique I like to do where its semi scrambled and semi sunnyside up! ;) I break the egg into the pan like you would sunnyside up, but then procede to mix it up a bit. .. anyone know what this would be called?

I do this too, but I don'f have a name for it. Maybe we could invent one. How's Sunny Scrambled Up sound for starters?

French scramble is where you let the egg set a bit then scramble so there is a definitive white and yellow in the scrambled egg.

edit: If you are paranoid about eating eggs out of a box, this is the way to order them. It ensures that they have to use a fresh egg :D

Sounds good to me! :D I demand the next egg poll add sunny scrambled up!

K wait. I um, .. . French scramble is the name for your Sunny Scrambled Up! see above!

Cooked...

I like a couple preparations you haven't listed - although I voted for sunny side up. I like deviled eggs and over hard - like over easy but the yolk is completely hard, and almost burnt.

I enjoy my eggs scrambled. My grandmother used to wake up at 4am when I'd stay over at her place (as a wee tike). I'd get up with her and we'd talk for hours. She would show me how to make scrambled eggs until I learned how to do it myself. Really makes for some wonderful memories that make it so I love having scrambled eggs the way she used to cook 'em. :)

Sorry, french scramble is being replaced by sunny scrambed up! :p You have to admit, it's a cooler name. Perhaps we can Meet half way and name it Freedom scramble? =D

Haha. I wont lose any sleep if you dub it Sunny Scrambled up, but your server might punch you if you try to order it that way :D

Omelet as of late. Give me a good meat lover's Omelet, and I am happy for the day. :)

Great googlie mooglie, anything but "freedom scrambled". :p

I would've added more to the poll, but I think I reached the alloted slots for voting options, hence the generic option for "Other".

Hard boiled with no yolk. Mmmmm, protein!
