What's your favorite way to cook eggs?

[bicentennial_baby]

GoPSux got me to thinking about it...I'm really torn between scrambled, sunny side up, and hard boiled. I'm leaning towards hard boiled, b/c it leads to egg salad. :9

What say you? :hi:

[AlCzervik]

1. over easy, yolk not too firm or too runny and i like them on toast with some bacon.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I love egg sammiches

I like them on bagels :9

[WinkyDink]

47. I used to live on fried-egg sandwiches! I'd make one half with the yolks, and the other all whites!

And don't hold the salt!

[sniffa]

29. mmm

:9

can we cook you when you're in town?

[AlCzervik]

33. i hope so! I'm trying to get my schedule finalized. so many freaking things to do

with such limited time except for when we are down the cape. congratulations BTW and please take the time to actually enjoy your own wedding.

[sniffa]

43. thank you

:hug: :loveya:

if need be, we're not that far from the cape.. so Like tim gunn, we'LL make it work.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. Soft boiled.

Actually I'm not sure, but you didn't list it, so I thought I would say it. :silly:

[bicentennial_baby]

4. C'mon! You must know!

The fate of the universe hangs in the balance! :o

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. Ok, ok! I'll go with what chimpsrsmarter said

I make friend egg sandwiches, and I always make the eggs over easy and melt some cheese on them, and put on toast. Tasty. :9

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Cheese is the critical factor!

A HA! :bounce:

Btw, Sniffa is ranting about flying beetles...he wants to set them on fire. I won't let him though. :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. Tell him;

that's not how you make fire flies.

[bicentennial_baby]

21. ...

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

24. i love them soft boiled but i am so lazy that i hate, hate, hate dealing with the shell

i would love someone to make me some soft boiled eggs, take them out of the shell and put in a bowl with some salt, some heavily buttered toast on the side and thats some good eats!

[Contrary1]

5. Over easy for me with buttered toast to soak it up. n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Sounds good

:D

[Guava Jelly]

6. I love omelette's myself

I do love a good egg sandwich though(two eggs with runny yolks and a slice of cheese on a bed of mayonaise)..yum!!!!
Don't get me started on deviled

[bicentennial_baby]

11. My Mom makes awesome deviled eggs!

:bounce:

[DS1]

8. As part of an omelet

that's the only way I would cook them for myself, anyway.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. The only way?

Disciplined.

[DS1]

28. There can be only three.

Eggs.

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Wise one you are

:D

[Left Is Write]

14. Scrambled, as long as they are fluffy and not overcooked.

It's very easy to overcook scrambled.

I also love hard boiled so I can make egg salad and deviled eggs.

[bicentennial_baby]

16. I'm still trying to get the perfect scrambled eggs

Someday.

[Left Is Write]

22. Low heat and lots of movement.

Also - turn off the heat a little bit before the eggs are done. The remaining heat in the pan and within the eggs will finish the cooking.

If you whisk a little water or milk into the eggs before pouring them in the pan, that helps with the fluffiness too.

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Wow, thanks!

That helps a ton! Bookmarking my thread! :hi:

[malta blue]

15. Fried in oil....edges crispy, yolk medium....salted.

I love the egg, but I must admit that an egg fried in oil is the best, IMO. There is a science to it so that it is not one big greaseball, but done correctly, it is heaven.

Little MB likes them this way too. When our house was on the market, I hated to make them because of the splatter mess, but I haf to give in to her little puppy dog eyes every once in a while.

[bicentennial_baby]

17. I fry them in butter

:D

[malta blue]

20. I like that too.

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

18. To cook? Hard boiled, because I can't screw it up.

I get other people to make them my favorite way, which is fried sunny side up.

I pretty much like eggs most ways. I'm a child of my era, back before everyone knew about the cholesterol level. Ah well. Sometimes it's a good treat.

[bicentennial_baby]

19. I do not fear the egg!

:D

[JANdad]

23. Saturday morning ritual in our home

I break out the griddle, fry up the bacon and sausage and then fry the eggs in this grease, over medium with toast and fried potatoes...

[bicentennial_baby]

25. Ok, I'm coming over!

Do you have some extra? :bounce:

Yum! :9

[JANdad]

30. Always...

the dog gets some treats afterwords...and she knows it!

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Ha!

I love dogs. :)

[JANdad]

34. Ever see the "beggin snacks" commercial

I think that is "Lady" on Saturday morings..."I smell bacon...bacobbaconbacon...wheres the bacon"

[bicentennial_baby]

37. Sounds like my dog! I was home yesterday,

and I was about to bring treats to the dogs, and all of a sudden Buddy jumped the baby gate, and ran the length of the house to me! He sensed them :D

[sniffa]

26. my favorite to order is poached

aka: eggs bLackstone. :9

scrambLed is fine if you're just out for a quick breakfast at a shit restaurant, but i have Lost respect for peopLe who choose to cook eggs that way.

[Swamp Rat]

35. omelets w/hot pepper cheese, crawfish tails and tons of Cayenne pepper

with a side order of alligator andouille sausages. :9

[bicentennial_baby]

39. Wow, that's hardcore!

Dayum! :o

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

41. On Mondays, add red beans and rice w/andouille.

:9

:hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

36. Scrambled.

Hard scrambled, not runny. I'll eat them straight or in an omelet. That's the only way I'll eat eggs. They're too gross otherwise. :yoiks:

[bicentennial_baby]

38. You are forgiven

:P

[SPKrazy]

40. Fried on a hot sidewalk :D

seriously in an omelet is the best. :D

[Shakespeare]

42. Creme Brulee.

I know; that's cheating, isn't it? :9

[pagerbear]

44. With bacon & cheese--either an omelette or a sandwich

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

45. Raw, in a glass of beer

Breakfast of Champions!

:rofl:

Ok, maybe not.

For breakfast, scrambled with cheese, or over easy.

For salad, hard-boiled.

[Dr_Funkenstein]

46. Over Medium, On Top of Enchiladas

I'm not kidding...it sounds disgusting, but it's the best, Jerry...The BEST. I was in a hole in the wall Mexican joint, and the menu had Enchiladas as normal...and then I notice it: "add eggs - $1.00". I asked the waitress...WTF does this mean? She explained that eggs over medium would be added as a topping to my beef enchiladas. I said why the hell not...and had the best enchiladas I ever tasted.

*My wife apparently prefers her fertilized...

[ChoralScholar]

48. Incubated, hatched, plucked, then fried. EOM

[Tektonik]

49. I make em over easy,

but at a restaurant I always have em sunnyside up and use the runny yolk + lots of salt to eat my hash browns :9

[blitzen]

50. melt butter in pan, cover with prosciutto slices, add 3 or 4 eggs on top...

salt, pepper, cover and cook on low heat 2 or 3 minutes. yumm

[Generic Brad]

51. Sunny side up with Tabasco

The eggs are just an excuse to use Tabasco.

[Midlodemocrat]

52. Honey. Eggs suck. End of story.

[rucky]

53. Basted. n/t

[Richard Steele]

54. Scrambled! Sometimes with sausage, but generally plain, with ketchup on 'em. nm

[idgiehkt]

55. I don't care for them too much

But if I do have them, we used to make a taipei omlet (I remember it had sprouts and almonds in it, amoung other things) at a restaurant I worked at that was really nice. :hi:

[1gobluedem]

56. Hard boiled

Only way I like eggs.

[CabalPowered]

57. Steam scrambled

I bought one of those Oster egg cookers a couple years ago and I love it! Crack a couple eggs, throw some herbs in, pour it in the little tray, turn the dial and wait for the ding.

[wildhorses]

58. soft boiled or over easy or soft scrambled or poached

the way i like to eat 'em is the way i like to cook 'em

[AwakeAtLast]

59. Fried egg sandwich

One carefully fried egg (low heat) on two buttered slices of toast with hot pepper cheese and Frank's Red Hot Sauce. I like Frank's a little better than Tabasco because it has a little more flavor, IMO.

Washed down with hot chai :9

Now my husband sometimes wants a scrambled egg sandwich or what he calls "Dippy Eggs" - fried eggs with a soft center that oozes out to dip his toast into.

Then there's my Mom who makes pickled eggs. She boils them, peels them and then lets them sit in beet juice until nice and pink. Not at all my favorite. x(

[Seashell Eyes]

60. Either over easy or

as an omelet with cheddar cheese, mushrooms, green peppers and kitchen king.

[u4ic]

61. Frittata or quiche

:9


I like scrambled, too.

[Mz Pip]

62. In brownies

with lots of chocolate and butter and nuts.

I hate eggs usless they hold something really cool together.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[opiate69]

63. Omelette, Egg-english muffin sandwich, deviled..

Fried with runny yolk - however, I can't stomach the sight of even a slightly runny white.. I'm probably the hardest person in the world to fry an egg for.

[TommyO]

64. Smoked salmon omelette topped with a dollop of sour cream and some dill

I think I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow (I don't have sour cream in the house).

[datasuspect]

65. EGGS ARE MURDER!!!!11111

[My Good Babushka]

66. Fried hard in butter with lots of pepper.

[hippywife]

67. Anyway they can be cooked!

I especially love eggs benedict! Yum! Haven't had that in a very long while tho. :(

[RetroLounge]

68. any way that involves a waitress bringing them to me...

:hi:

hey you!

RL

[NMDemDist2]

70. that style is pretty darned high on my list too hehehehe n/t

[RetroLounge]

71. and keep the coffee cup full!

:hi:

RL

[NMDemDist2]

69. over *VERY* easy

second choice is scrambled with salsa and topped with cheese

but hubby's on a hard boiled kick for his lunch so that has to be on the list too hehehehe

:hi:

[Orsino]

72. Well-rested and hungry. n/t

[Blue Diadem]

73. Omelets are my favorite

There are so many different ingredients you can use..

crumbled sausage/bacon, peppers, onions, cheeses, mushrooms, potatoes..the variety/combination is endless.

[muriel_volestrangler]

74. Over a hot Lounge flame war about egg production

Sorry, I couldn't resist it ... :evilgrin:

[janx]

75. I can't believe that thread. How can people argue about eggs?

:rofl:

[Bzzzz]

76. Scrambled...

with tomatoes and hot sauce. mmmmm...mmmm

[deadparrot]

77. Over medium.

Though I do enjoy omelettes, as well. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

78. With heat!

[chaska]

79. Scrambled, loaded into a warmed corn tortilla and topped with salsa...

OMG!

My fave way to heat the un-fried tortilla (must be corn for this) is to sprinkle both sides with water (I just run it under the faucet) and then throw it in an ungreased frying pan on medium heat for maybe a minute each side.

Salsa should of course be home made and contain cilantro.

Truly, it is out of this world good.

[Blue-Jay]

80. Huevos Rancheros

Or Eggs Benedict
