How do you like your eggs?

How does everyone like their eggs? I’ve been thinking about them all day.

I don’t mind fried eggs or even a fried egg sandwich with mayo.

The one I have been drawn to lately is scrambled.

I usually make them by scrambling them. Adding milk and cream cheese to them. Cook them with a little Pink Himalayan salt. After they are done I add white American cheese that I grated up. Then salt and pepper.

Usually I add that to a rice bowl with Bacon and Avacodo.

This may sound wacky to think this much or post about it. But I’m hungry. Very hungry.
 
Fry an egg over-easy. Slice a piece of bread about the size of your fried egg and toast the bread until well done, borderline burnt. Butter the top of the toast, get it saturated like a sponge. Place fried egg on top. One shot that motherfucker.

Sounds like that one thing where you cut a hole in the bread and then put the egg in that.

Fried on toast with hot sauce. Must be brown and crispy around the edges. No runny yolk. God I want eggs now.

Eggs in a basket? Or eggy in the hole depending on where your from.



I love eggs in all forms but my faves are either over easy so I can dip my toast in that yolk or as an omelette.

That's a shitty meme food if you're making it as an adult. It's an entertaining way to serve eggs to your children or something but that's about it. lol

Idk. Never tried it. Just randomly thought of it.

Now I’m thinking of French toast. My grandmother makes it with Eggnog and cinnamon. Which is interesting.

I want eggs too. Very much. Tomorrow will be glorious.

I would have to pass on the hot sauce.

Your grandma's got the right idea, bro. That's well creative and I love that idea. 😍

Yeah. It’s pretty good. She buys eggnog and then freezes it for the rest of the year. She makes it for my kids all the time. I will say it makes the bread a bit softer than the traditional way but the flavor is awesome.

Scrambled, occasionally over easy. I prefer the Gordon Ramsay style, scrambled in a shallow sauce pan, finished with a touch of salt and creme fraiche.

Incubated. And then raised. And then beheaded. And then plucked. And then cut up. And then put on a grill. And then put on a bun. Damn, it's gonna take a while. I don't have time. Scrambled!

Depends.

With bacon: Poached or Fried

On their own? Hard boiled.

Alongside some other dish? Scrambled.


I think Mr. Tickles brings up an important point. Scrambled eggs are good and all, but they are more supporting cast imo. Some good hash browns with a great butcher sausage is nice. If you ever stayed at a friend’s place as a kid and eggs were like the main menu at breakfast I was like yeah this isn’t going to substain me at all 😂
 
With other food: fried over easy with pepper, salt, crushed red peppers.

By itself: hard-boiled with a little salt.

But the other ways are great too. Even raw.

Raw yolk, with just some sugar as breakfast or afternoon snack. Take the yolk, without the white, mix it with some sugar for a few minutes mixing it very very fast with a fork.

Otherwise Eggs "à la coque", with runny yolk, usually as second course for dinner.

I need to try these methods. Thanks for posting.

The first one we call it "uovo sbattuto", and it's a typical "grandmother" recipe especially in south italy. Usually I put 3-4 teaspoons (so the small ones) of sugar for 2 mid-sized yolks.

The second one (eggs a la coque) takes a bit of practice or to take time precisely with a timer, to make sure that the yolk remains runny. After taking off the upper part of the shell and eaten the upper part of white, you put a little bit of salt (very little) mix it with a teaspoon, and eat the yolk with teaspoon and small pieces of bread that you can dip inside (if you want, otherwise you can eat even without the bread depending on your preferences).

Perfect! Thanks for the info!

On average I eat about 8 eggs a day. Sometimes 6-12. I eat them scrambled with cheese. Fried. Raw as a drink. Hardboiled. Poached. Idgaf. I'll eat eggs any which way.

I eat them fried (runny yolk), scrambled, boiled, poached.
I draw the line at cold eggs though. No cold egg sandwiches or cold boiled eggs or anything nasty like that.
