How do you like your eggs?

[Vibroluxer]

I like mine a couple ways. I prefer large eggs and Sunnyside up is a favorite. The secret to cooking them without any of the snotty whites is to add a couple of drops of water just as the egg is finished cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid for just a few seconds, this creates steam and cooks the whites.

I also like them once over. No secret to these guys and we call them dippy eggs in Pittsburgh.

My favorite way is a classic French omelette cooked a la Chef Jacques Pépin. It takes a little practice but it's fun to cook and tastes excellent. I like mine with chives or tarragon. Here's a little known fact: Jacques was offered the opportunity to become Executive Chef at the Kennedy White House but turned it down to become the Director of Research and Development for Howard Johnson's.


Tabasco is welcome regardless of how the eggs are cooked and toast is a necessity. Rye, all grain, and regular white will suffice.

scrambled

 

[brookdalebill]

Over easy, or boiled.

I like eggs. Fried, poached, scrambled, hard, soft-boiled, deviled, etc.

Fried: over medium...al dente. I like to sop up the yolk with biscuit...but not too runny, please.

Scrambled: soft and moist. Cubes of cream cheese added just seconds before serving (like Aunt Jean did when we visited as kids) is welcome. Miz Diane makes perfect SE...every time.

Soft-boiled: mom made SBE Sunday mornings. Yolks about like 50w motor oil. Served over buttered toast shreads. I've never got the hang of SBE.

Miz Diane's Deviled eggs are always perfect. There's 3 halves remaining on a plate in the fridge. Touch them at risk of life and limb!

I like eggs over easy, scrambled,

OR. a pretty well-done ( not runny) omelet- and really just cheese, or ham or sausage, and cheese- NO onions, peppers, mushrooms*

* I used to like all that stuff, but now go for the more dry, boring omelet

 

[fretknot]

Over medium, or an omelet.

 

[uriah1]

I tell them killed. Over hard. Stabbed many times

 

[telleutelleme]

Over hard like a Frisbee is how I order them. Usually gets a smile and comes out right.

 

[brown2bob]

Basic scrambled, well mixed, no gooey stuff.

We've had an egg shortage lately... some days there are no eggs on the shelves..... so, I haven't been eating too many lately...

 

[dented]

Any way I can cook them. I eat eggs almost every day for breakfast and more. Fried sunny side up, over easy, over medium, over hard, scrambled, poached, soft boiled, hard boiled, omelettes, french toast you name it. I pickle them and devil them. Love some eggs.

I like eggs cooked any and all ways, but my favorite way to eat 'em is in chili relleno.

 

[sax4blues]

At home I grew up with mainly fried over hard. Mostly now I have scrambled. When I go out I'll have an omelette

 

[stxrus]

With that little Faberge label on the bottom and a letter of authenticity to show the buyer. I’ll take a dozen, free, of course

All seriousness aside I prefer scrambled or over easy for breakfast. Hard boiled for deviled eggs, potato salad to just eat with a bit of salt and pepper and maybe a drop or two of Chipotle Tabasco

I like eggs but I very seldom eat them at home.

Framed!

Use a small juice glass to punch a hole into a slice of bread, cookie-cutter style. Toss the punched bread and the round 'manhole cover' into a hot skillet on medium. Drop a generous pat of butter into the hole. Grind some black pepper into the butter and add a dash of salt. Crack an egg into the hole and allow it to cook for about two minutes. Place the cover toasted-side down over the yolk and carefully flip the entire thing over and cook for about another minute.

M-m-mmmm!

Wheat or multi-grain bread is ideal for this. Sourdough is good too. Some 'murrikans call this "toad in the hole," but that's borrowed from the delicious British dish of sausage cooked in Yorkshire pudding.

But I gotta say my favorite is Scotch eggs. Try them once, you will never forget it!

I was at a diner down south and old boy ordered:

“two eggs - and take the cackle out of them”

 

[2groggy]

Broken yolk, over hard, in a sandwich.

 

[getbent]

I usually order over easy.

But, I like them pretty much any old way.

 

[BobbyMac]

Scrambled or over hard fried in butter. Love deviled eggs, too.

 

[clydethecat]

Omelet, with bacon and cheddar and maybe some sauteed onions
