I was gonna say, ain't that sausage mixed in with the taters? That be pig.
 
I like eggs lots of ways. My favorites are Huevos Ranchero, which for me is over easy, sharp cheddar cheese grated on top, & then salsa that has been heated up poured all over the eggs. Some flour tortillas or toast, heaven! I love omelets, & I like to experiment with different ingredients. My current favorite combo is black olives, bell pepper, onion, jalapenos, ham, & cheddar cheese. Flavored with coarse pepper, Sazon, garlic & cilantro. I also like them scrambled, as long as I have Tabasco & ketchup. And breakfast tacos? ***eddaboutit! Love them. About the only way I don't like eggs is hard boiled or chopped up in potato salad. I like the flavor, it's just something about the texture that bothers me. So when I make potato salad, I run the eggs through a food processor to mince them up fine.:cool::D
 
For potato salad, I just take the hardboiled egg and mash it with a large fork before adding to my Hellman's mayo and fresh lemon juice mix.
 
I like them any way. Deviled, pickled, egg salad, you name it, I like it. But I got to to tell ya, picked hardboiled eggs make the best gas. ;)
 
We've got a flock of Buff Orpingtons, so we always have a good supply of fresh, brown eggs on hand.

Favorite way? I'll have to check "All of the Above."

One of my favorite recipes when at camp is to brown bacon, corned beef, onions, peppers, potatoes and mushrooms in a 14-inch Dutch oven. After the potatoes, et al, are cooked, I make a dozen or so little "nests" in the potato mixture and crack an egg in each little nest. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and let cook until the eggs are a desired doneness. Then I sprinkle a little parsely and grated sharp cheddar cheese on top. Put the lid back on and let it go until the cheese melts a bit.

Serve that with your favorite homemade salsa and while you might not be in heaven, you're pretty darn close.
 
Start about three days a week with this...
"Egg in the Hole" w/bacon.

My Mama used to put a fried egg on top of Daddy's stack of pancakes. I thought that was just the nastiest thing I'd ever seen.

Until one day I tried it. Oh. My. Lord. That's good.

Seems to confuse 'em at the local eateries, though, when I tell 'em "a short stack with two over easy sitting on top".
 
With the exception of the dreaded balut, which doesn't bear thinking about, or Chinese "thousand-year-old" eggs, I'm not sure I ever met an egg I didn't like. Fried over easy; fried hard in sandwiches with bacon, real mayo and pickles; boiled; pickled (I make my own); scrambled; in egg salad; in tuna salad; poached; as eggs Benedict; in omelets--like 'em all.
 
I voted for over easy as favorite, but will take 'em fixed any old way.

Sunday evening had an egg dish at a local restaurant:
starts with a pile of taters nice and skillet browned
topped with scrambled eggs, sausage, bell pepper, mushrooms
and that is topped with white sausage gravy
side of white toast

Mmmmmm.... heaven.
 
I find that protien in the morning lets me eat less during the day. I cannot eat a wet egg, it needs to be hard through and I prefer it flipped. I order scrambled when on the road as most cooks cannot serve what they consider to be a dry egg.

Buff Orpington.....sounds like a protagonist in one of those romance novels. :D
 
Try my 'hunter's reward' liver pate'

equil parts boiled liver (I use venison), black olive, white onion, & hard boiled eggs

add fresh jalapeno to taste

1 lb. liver, 1 large onion, 1 can olives (14/15 oz.) & 6 to 8 eggs works with 1 med. jalapeno (seeds & mantle removed)

run everything thru a meat grinder or food processer

mix with mayonaise & mustard (2/3 mayo to 1/3 mustard) for desired consistency.

thick mixture works for a sanwich spread & thinner more moist for a cracker & chip dip

I have served to many who proclaimed "I never eat liver" with them asking "sure is good, what is that?", I usually answer "It's good for you too, here have some more" :)
 
I like em' any way you can cook them but, Duck eggs are the best.
My favorite way is over medium (white hard, yellow runny) mixed
with a bowl of rice.


Mighty fittin'!
 
I LOVE eggs. I do require that they be cooked but I don't much care how. One of natures most versatile foods, as is the chicken. I voted for over easy in the poll but as long as you cook 'em just a little I ain't really to fussy about it one way or the other.
