Your morning eggs, how do you like them?

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.
 
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.

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.
 
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. :D

Ummm, sounds good!
I'm hungry.

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

Years ago I was at a country fair....lots of old hippies, etc....a voice from behind kept chanting some little ditty, always including "boneless chicken dinner 50 cents"....after struggling thru the crowd for a while I finally broke into the open and turned to see what his trip was....

"Boneless chicken dinners--50 cents" was a jolly fellow in a stovepipe hat on stilts with a sack full of hard boiled eggs!!!

Peppered bacon works for me too! In the older days when I went camping in NWA, I'd hit the Ozark Mountain Smokehouse on Dickson Street in Fayetteville and get their peppered bacon. Yummy!

We can hang, Evil One...
