Your morning eggs, how do you like them?

[Wayne02]

Fried (over medium, hard, runny), scrambled, hard boiled, poached?

Do you like scrambles, omelets, crepes?

How do you prepare your eggs, got any favorite recipes?


I'm a terribly boring 'cook' at home and I only fry them, scramble, or poach, but have never made any type or scramble or omelets or the like.


My weakness is the eggs Benedict (over Canadian bacon and English muffin) from the local cafe, man is it good, particularly their eggs Benedict over smoked salmon. Yes, it is a $1 more then the other egg breakfasts but it's worth it.

I've since tried the eggs benedict at other restaurants over the years and none compare. Eggs benedict lives and dies based on the sauce, and I have this fantasy that the local cafe makes its own sauce because it is so good, but it probably really just comes from a can. I have not asked the cook because I don't want to ruin the dream.

[M29since14]

Scambled, NOT runny - and no contaminations PLEASE!

Unfortunately, thanks to medical "science" and all the wonderful new recommendations, I only get them 1x/week.

I had an old friend who lived into his early-90s and he ate eggs for breakfast every morning all his life. I doubt he ever bothered to get the opinions of an MD about such matters. (I know that doesn't mean I can get away with it... )

[Doughboy Racing]

Hard as a rock LOL

[morsecode]

Omelots.

Ever notice how breakfast always tastes better when someone else makes it for you?

[Kirmdog]

Over easy or sunny side up if and when I eat eggs for me but if I'm wanting to raise my cholesteral levels I push the eggs aside and go for the biscit's and gravy!

[gunlovingirl]

Over easy with 2 slices of buttered toast, not burnt please, hash browns with onions, 6 slices of crisp bacon, cup of coffee with sugar and cream, and a glass of cold tomato juice.

[JOERM]

We now use an egg cooker that works great for soft, hard, poached. No more broken yokes and no grease. Have our own chickens and get anywhere from 4 to 8 eggs per day. I eat at least 2 per day and 3 on the weekends.

My favorte is Crab Benedict which has ham instead of the canandian bacon. Lots of crab on top, lots. Just cannot be beat.

[jag312]

First I cook some sliced mushrooms in butter, any type mushrooms will do. I set them aside.

I fry some bacon, about a half pound, and set that aside.

Next I take a medium sized potato and dice it. That goes into the frying pan. Next I add some diced onion.

I take four jumbo eggs and whip them. When the potato and onion are cooked to my satisfaction, I pour on the eggs. I immediately add the mushrooms, crumpled bacon, grated Romano cheese. and Konriko Creole Seasoning. After the eggs have started to cook, I fold them over, finish cooking on both sides. When it is finished, it looks like a big egg taco.

The eggs, plus the rest of the bacon, plus two slices of lightly toasted sour dough french bread with butter and a big glass of orange juice is my Saturday morning breakfast. I'm not hungry for the rest of the day.

[WONTLETYOU]

omelet form with 2 pieces of rye toast no butter

[Dashriprock]

Over easy or scrambled, depends on the day I reckon.

Eggs benedict lives and dies based on the sauce, and I have this fantasy that the local cafe makes its own sauce because it is so good, but it probably really just comes from a can.

No way to can Hollandaise. There are some powdered mixes, but they are vile.

Ask the cook, he'll tell you straight up he makes his own Hollandaise, I'll bet you a fiver.

Everybody thinks it's a really difficult sauce, but if you follow a few rules of control, it's easy. Many moons ago, I spent over 12 years in the culinary trenches. Hollandaise and mayonnaise are the first emulsified sauces I learned.

I'll take 1/3 of that or Just fried with crispy whites and pork of some sort,grits and biscuits.

[Andy Griffith]

I don't eat eggs, unless they are deviled or in potato salad.

Potato salad sandwiches are pretty good for breakfast- my father turned me onto them. Be sure to add lots of paprika and black pepper!

[BarbC]

That's my kind of breakfast!

I just have a mini bagel with cream cheese every morning, though. I can't do much of anything before a couple of cups of coffee.

[godlessgael]

juevos rancheros. but only from the restaurant I grew up with, Jerry's in Hemet, CA. No other place, foreign or domestic can match their excellence. If you are ever in Hemet (which leads me to ask: why are you in Hemet, CA) definitely hit this place up.

[Forester]

Over easy with toast, generally. Bacon too, if there is any.

Someone here gave a scrambled egg and shredded spam idea recently that I have had several times. Yum. ;D

[USAF385]

Eggs are good for you! I eat about half a dozen eggs a day....

Only the whites!

Mostly fried. Good protein, few calories.. and you get rid of all the horrid things in the yolk.

[m657]

.....I like my egg over gentle as the tear drops in a mother's eye as toward the chair her wayward son is slowly led....and with a touch of a proper tobasco style sauce...

IF the egg is done right, I can put up with almost anything else that comes with it...

Should read: "which leads me to ask: why are you in California?"

And the chickens that laid them, by the looks of that body!

The chickens are my lunch....

No.. but they are my own chickens actually. That way I don't have to buy 3 dozen eggs a week.

[ACP230]

Fried I like them over hard with the yolks broken.
I put a lot of pepper and some hot sauce on them. The sauce is usually Jardine's Texas Champagne or the La Victoria hot variety. If I'm in a resaurant I usually have to settle for Tabasco or Frank's and they'll do.

I like omelets with lots of ingredients, hash browns, ham, onions etc.
Or a chili and cheese omelet.
The same pepper and hot sauce as above.

[WHO CARES]

TOAD IN THE HOLE

Take a juice glass or such and cut a circle out of the center of a piece of bread. Melt a little butter or such in the fry pan, throw in the bread slice and break your egg into the hole. Fry to desired state and flip and cook a little longer. Season as desired - I like a little hot salsa or such - and serve. Egg and bread become one. This is a good treat for kids of all ages.

[reddogge]

Two eggs over easy served with grits and butter, salt (a tad) and pepper and two slices of toast and butter. I like to mix everything up on the plate too and generally make a mess of it.

[wbraswell]

I like the cacklefruit any way I've ever had them, but if I have my way the yokes are runny. That way you can use your toast to sop it up. Don't give me any of that egg white only crud, that's for meringue. The yoke of a chicken egg is one of the greatest tastes in all of food. I just can't eat them every day. Damn cardiologists.

[ServiceGun]

Scrambled
or
Pennies & Eggs
or
Taylor Ham, egg and cheese sandwich

[ingmansinc]

Doesn't matter as long as the whites are cooked.

My wife calls that a "one eyed Egyptian sandwich".

[Gutpile Charlie]

Hey, I don't care. I like them every way...especially with bacon!

[Grayfox]

I generally try for over medium so that the yoke starts to thicken but is still a little runny. That's what I try for. Truth is I throw 'em in the skillet and eat whatever comes out.
Add some bacon, grits and biscuits, I'm good to go.

[Muddyboot]

Scrambled with tabasco.

[wheelgun1958]

Over easy with a Waffle House pecan waffle and scattered and covered hash browns.

[Bib]

I like to take a couple thick slices of smoke flavored Spam or a thick slice of garlic bologna and cube it up and fry it golden brown. Add a bit of chopped onion (ecpecially green onion) and scramble in 3 or 4 eggs. I like my eggs the way I like steak----medium rare. Soft, not overcooked.

[therevjay]

Over easy, or poached light, or scrambled, or fried hard (in a sandwich w/ salsa or kethup & hot sauce) or in a omelet, or soft boiled, or hard boiled.

With sausage, or bacon, or ham, and grits, or hash browns, or 'fried taters, onions, & peppers' or my favorite, lightly fried onions, peppers, & hominey. (white or yellow, I don't care)

Unless you burn 'em. Or leave them mostly raw, you just CAN"T screw up eggs!

[K.38]

Overeasy with pinto beans, green chile, hash browns, a tortilla and a patty of good German sausage. There is a little cafe in town that makes it just this way. We go there most every Sunday after church.

OH MY!!!!!!!!
A woman that loves guns and knows what a good breakfast is

[Old 44 Guy]

Anyway I can get them. Best is in a deer hunting camp in Western USA. Bacon, eggs, toast & black coffee. UMMMM.

[DeathGrip]

I thought I saw it on page 13. I'll call ACORN to confirm.

[mtgianni]

Over dead, so there is not even a hint of a wiggle, with the yolk broken. Hash browns and some sausage patty with green tabasco or Chipolte on them. Wheat toast and orange marmalade.

[bmhiii]

First, fry about a pound of Petit Jean bacon in a cast iron skillet, leave grease in.

Then fry 3 eggs in grease over medium, yoke runny, white good and done.

Serve with buttered grits and bingo!

Or just cook up some good old B&G (biscuits and gravy)....

[rchance]

Two fried eggs covered with black pepper so you can't see the white, toast and orange juice. About and hour later my wife is asking what crawled up in me and died.

We always hit Hamm's in San Jac (IIRC) for breakfast. Don't think I ever ate a Jerry's.

I like mine looking at me (sunny side). I cook them up the my Dad taught me...first you cook up a mess of bacon, I like mine less crispy. Then crack the eggs into the hot bacon grease and gently baste them in the grease. Only takes a minute or so for perfect sunny side. For those who like a little more done, baste them so they cook out like over easy. Traditional Sunday morning fare 'round this casita.

When I was on a one egg per day diet I had two turkey hens---now thats an egg.
Turkeys are now gone and Doc says no eggs at all. I can only have the whites, which wife frys in a non stick along with a chicken strip, both coated with salsa. Don't mind it so much, it sure beats plain oatmeal. I just stay away from anywhere that actually serves good food, seeing a three egg breakfast with sausage, grits and a side of biscuits and gravy makes me cry.

[red14]

Eggs, the perfect food! I'll eat them any way you can cook them, anytime. Favorite way is with rice, and runny yolks. I cook them in microwaves and make sandwiches. I even like them raw, like Rocky!

[n4zov]

Unfortunately I am into the "Egg Beaters" these days, and there isn't much choice except to cook them thoroughly. Actually EB's aren't all that bad and I have them several times a week.

[CAJUNLAWYER]

With Beer.

[gunsmith11]

why do eggs have colesteral, but chicken doesnt

[ltcdoty]

powdered eggs over cold SOS on cold toast in a mess kit standing in the rain....oh sorry I was having a flashback

By golly... I do believe we could hang out.
Thats exactly how I do mine, except I use peppered bacon.
