[debm55]

I like sunny side -dippy, What about you? You can give outer suggestions not listed here.

[CanonRay]

1. Peppers and Eggs, Sicilian style

Had it yesteday!

[debm55]

3. Thank you CannonRay. Sounds very good.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Very scrambled and cooked firm. I can't even look at a runny yolk.

[debm55]

5. Thank you , sinkingfeeling. I like the running yolk to dip my toast in.

[True Dough]

4. De-shelled!

[debm55]

6. Oh my, that is gross. Did you every eat it that way?

[True Dough]

9. A few times in high school

After watching Rocky movies.

[Shermann]

52. Yeah, Rocky inspired me to try that back in the day as well

It's not bad, but kind of a waste of eggs.

Over easy for me with grits and livermush. I'm not so busy I can't cook a proper breakfast.

[Tetrachloride]

7. with toast

[debm55]

13. Yes, sunny side but not snotty. with toast, Thank you.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. like them scrammed . over easy. sunnyside up . all of them

[debm55]

14. Thank you AllaN01Bear, Me too.

[mucifer]

10. for vegans or vegan curious, here are some vegan egg recipes I like

Egg yolk for dipping
https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-egg-yolk/

Tofu scramble
https://rainbowplantlife.com/eggy-tofu-scramble/#wprm-recipe-container-11576

[debm55]

15. Thank you very much for the recipes. I would like to try the tofu scrambles.

[mucifer]

20. The dipping egg yolk is so good. But, it's pretty much all vegetable oil with seasonings added.

[quaint]

11. Every way you mentioned.

Raw only in homemade eggnog.

[debm55]

16. Thank you quaint. I forget to mention egg salad. Yummy.

[quaint]

19. Also good, and devilled, too.

As a lacto-ova vegetarian, eggs are one of my main proteins.

[debm55]

21. Thank you quaint. Love devilled eggs. Yummy.

[arkielib]

12. Hard boiled, scrambled, cheese omelet, fried - cooked just about any way.

With hard boiled or fried I just eat the white part though. I don't like yolks unless mixed with the egg white.

[debm55]

17. Thank you very much, arkielib.

[MyMission]

18. I prefer eggs in baked goods or French toast

Or hard boiled, deviled.

Not an egg eater, they give me digestive issues.
I don't keep them in the house, but I do bake with them and will by fresh ones when I do. It's not often.

[debm55]

23. Thank you , My Mission. I haven't had French toast in a long time. Will have to make some.

[stopdiggin]

22. any or all. just so long as the whites are COOKED

Probably one of the most off putting things I've ever pushed around on my plate - - runny (snotty) egg whites! Gag !!

[debm55]

24. Thank you stopdiggin. When we go out for breakfast I always order sunny side and I say "not snotty" . It embarrasses my

husband.

[stopdiggin]

27. well, if I was the kitchen (or the server!) I'd be embarresed delivering that 'dog drool'

to a table!
Almost universally despised !!

[yellowdogintexas]

54. solution to the 'snotty' egg white problem:

After breaking the egg into the skillet, poke holes into the thick part of the whites (sometimes called the 'shoulder') using a fork, knife or even the corner of the spatula. The white will run under the egg and begin to solidify. Just keep on poking around at it until it is done enough to suit you. I flip my eggs for over easy but I still poke around at the hump before I flip them to get them just right

[debm55]

99. Thank you for the advice, I will give it a try.

[Niagara]

25. Unfertilized!

Okay, now I'm going to be serious and answer the question.


I like my eggs hard boiled, omelets, frittata's, egg bites, over-medium, poached (usually in Shakshuka) deviled, and soft scrambled.



I'm posting a photo of my egg bites!

[debm55]

28. Oh thank you, Niagara. Those look great. My neighbor has chickens but he also has a rooster. I feel sorry for him as he

always offers me eggs and I decline as I don't want to get a fertilized egg.

[TheBlackAdder]

51. This! I had a farm and we had dozens of chickens. Some people would want partially developed chicks. 🤢🤮

[Niagara]

64. Well, TheBlackAdder

I was being a smarty pants and was referring to human fertilization, specifically my eggs. Lol!


I had no idea that people actually want partially developed chicks. Very strange.

[TheBlackAdder]

68. It's called Balut. Click on the link if you want to read up on it. Warning: pictures.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(food)

Balut (/bəˈluːt/ bə-LOOT, /ˈbɑːluːt/ bah-LOOT;[1] also spelled as balot) is a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell. It is commonly sold as street food most notably in the Philippines, Cambodia (Khmer: ពងទាកូន, paung tea kaun) and Vietnam (Vietnamese: trứng vịt lộn, hột vịt lộn).

The length of incubation before the egg is cooked is a matter of local preference, but generally ranges between 14 and 21 days.

[Niagara]

69. Okay, yes now I remember

I have heard of this before.


We had a discussion on foods that no one could ever convince us to try would never try in the Lounge and Balut was listed.


https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181905139

[debm55]

72. I thank you, TheBlackAdder. I have heard of it but would never eat.

[electric_blue68]

66. Really???!!! Ewwww, yikes!

[Runningdawg]

26. Poached, with slightly thickened yolk and lots of black pepper.

[debm55]

30. Thank you Runningdawg. I don't use salt on my eggs , but I do like pepper on them. Especially the sunny side eggs.

[wordstroken]

29. Three ways.

Scrambled, boiled, and over light for dipping.

[debm55]

31. Thank you, wordstroken. Great choices. Yum.

[WestMichRad]

32. Every which way they are prepared!

Cooked, of course.

[debm55]

34. Thank you, WestMichRad. I agree with you 100%

[returnee]

33. Egg salad. nt

[debm55]

35. Thank you, returnee. Egg salad sandwiches are my favorite. Must have a fresh tomato slice on it.

[NotASurfer]

36. Breakfast burritos

And since I overslept, I suppose I can call it brunch if I get started now

[debm55]

39. Thank you, NotASurfer. It sounds very delicious.

[Polly Hennessey]

37. Love eggs, any which way. One exception: don't like

too much stuff in my scrambled eggs 🥚 (only ham or a little pinch of sausage). Sorry Deb, no tomato slice on my egg salad sandwich 🥪 Truthfully, I don’t like tomatoes on any sandwich except BLT. Go figure?
Another one: love sour cream on my baked potato but hate it on tacos 🌮

[debm55]

40. Thanks PollyHennessey. I like onions and peppers in my omelets so good. I only use sour cream on potato pancakes.

Didn't know you could put on tacos. I wouldn't like on tacos.

[Turbineguy]

38. French omelet.

I like it, but I can't cook one..

The best I have found so far is the Birch Door in Bellingham WA.

[debm55]

41. Thank you Turbineguy. What is in a French omelet?

[Turbineguy]

50. You can put what ever you like in it

It's the cooking style. The omelet has the shape on the outside, but the eggs are not fully cooked.

[OldBaldy1701E]

42. I prefer them scrambled but I also like them over easy.

Actually, I just like them!

[debm55]

43. Thank you OldBaldy1701E. I agree with you.

[Different Drummer]

44. Just about any way mentioned in this discussion, except...

runny. I had a runny egg once a few years ago and was violently ill for several days thereafter. Never again!

[debm55]

45. Ty Different Drummer. I am so sorry that happened to you.

[ProfessorGAC]

46. Poached First, Scrambled Second

But, if I get scrambled, I'd probably get an omelet.
But, Eggs Benedict would be my #1 preference.

[debm55]

47. Thank you. ProfessorGAC. Do you make yourself.? I heard the Hollandaise sauce is very hard to make.

[ProfessorGAC]

48. I Have Yes

But, it was a disaster doing it by hand. The sauce broke while I was making it.
I have a very small food processor (I think it's only a pint) & I have had no problem making it with that.
Now, that's only 3 for 3. Not like I've successfully made it a hundred times.
It's easier now though, as gastronomic chefs have figured out the exact right amount of soy lecithin to use.
I haven't used it, but if I had to make the sauce for a hundred servings of EB in a restaurant, I'd probably use it because there'd be no time to deal with a broken sauce.

[debm55]

49. Thank you, ProfessorGAC. You are very talented.

[Lunabell]

53. Either scrambled soft or

over easy. And I love to mix them with grits!

[yellowdogintexas]

55. yum yum! Throw in biscuits and gravy nt

[debm55]

73. Thank you very much, Lunabell , Both are great and the addition of grits. Yum.

[woodsprite]

56. Scrambled w/ American cheese OR poached on toast

If I’m being quick about it I do a 53-second microwave poached egg. If I have a little more time, I’ll do the scrambled.

[debm55]

74. Thank you woodsprite, I bought these poachers for eggs from Amazon years ago. But I think they are for using in water.

Thank you very much for your selections.

[woodsprite]

117. I crack an egg into a ramekin, top with 1/2" of water, and microwave for 52 seconds on high.

You might have to adjust the time so they turn out to your favorite consistency, but 52 for me cooks the edges of the yolk leaving just the center runny.

[debm55]

120. Thank you woodsprite, I will give it a try.

[yellowdogintexas]

57. every way possible!!! I love eggs any time of day pretty much any way you fix them

One thing though: I hate for my scrambled eggs to scorch!! That happens when the cook puts too much milk in with the eggs. The milk cooks faster and caauses the scorching.

[debm55]

81. Thank you, yellowdogintexas. I know the feeling of the scorched bottom of eggs. I'll eat them but the are not as good.

Have you tried cottage cheese in your eggs? I didn't like it.

[dem4decades]

58. Been craving me some egg salad recently.

But my first real meal after surgery was a scrambled egg, and it was delicious.

[debm55]

76. Thank you dem4decades. After reading this thread yesterday, I made some for sandwiches. Yum. Go for it.

[dem4decades]

110. My wife made egg salad for lunch, I'm a happy guy.

[debm55]

112. Thank you dem4decades. I made mine last night. I hope you enjoyed it.

[Squeaky41]

59. Eggsamples

Scrambled with shredded cheese with diced sausage or broken bacon. Taps of Tajin.
Fried sunny. Sometimes atop a hash.
Deviled with mustard, wasabl horseradish in Duke's mayo. Dusted with hot paprika.
It'e all a shell game..

[debm55]

85. What wonderful choices. thank you, Squeaky41. I like your add ins to the deviled eggs. I use yellow mustard, sweet

relish and MW. Love them, All your choices are great.

[claudette]

60. Definitely

scrambled!! So many wonderful additions can be made to make them even more delicious and nutritious 😊

[debm55]

86. Agree with you. Thank you very much, claudette.

[claudette]

111. 👍

😊

[DinahMoeHum]

61. Western Omelette

However, the way I make it, it becomes more like a scrambled egg hash. I include shards of hash brown potatoes in the mix.

[debm55]

90. Thank you DinahMoeHum. That sounds so good. I am going to try it.

[gab13by13]

62. Crack an egg into my glass of beer

Drink the beer down most of the way, chug the rest, including the egg. Important tip, there is a trick to breaking the yoke with your throat as you swallow.

This is only done during Easter.

[debm55]

100. Oh you, you really do that?

[birdographer]

63. Poached!

Two of them mushed up in a bowl with toast broken up and mixed in with them. I poach them on the stove, not in an appliance.

[debm55]

98. Thank you birdographer. I always had that as a kid when I was sick. Love how the toast would be covered with the yolk.

[3catwoman3]

65. Eggs Benedict with salmon instead of ham...

...and sprinkled with capers.

Also fried - over easy or sunny side up. The yolks need to be a little runny but the white all white - no clear runny white that looks like something from your nose.

Deviled eggs - yum. I could probably eat a dozen all by myself.

[debm55]

77. Thank you , 3catwoman3, I really like the idea of adding salmon to the Eggs Benedict. TY for the suggestion.

[electric_blue68]

67. Dry scrambled, egg salad, hard boiled, omlette w cheddar cheese, or onions, or both...

I can believe I forgot egg salad till someone mentioned it!

When we had extended family get togethers at one particular aunt & uncle's house we almost always had deviled eggs.
My Mom would bring the deviled eggs glass dish: round flat center, surrounded by half shaped egg holders.
I was usually in charge of mixing the egg yolks & ingredients, then filling the whites up. Or sometimes just filling them up.

When I was a kid - soft boiled egg in an egg cup. And solid whites w runny yolks on toast.

[debm55]

75. Thank you electric_blue68. Deviled eggs, I always made for my late father. I had that egg plate you brought up. I love

all your choices. Yummy.

[electric_blue68]

114. How fun you had the same egg plate!

[DFW]

70. Three egg omelet with......

Semi-dried tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, artichoke hearts, sautéed onions, black olives, Cheddar and Swiss cheese, and ground black pepper on top when it’s done.

Did I leave anything out?

[debm55]

71. WOW, that sounds great. DFW. Thank you.

[sdfernando]

78. I like hard boiled but...

I don't boil them...I steam them.

[debm55]

93. Thank you, sdfernando. That is very different.

[OLDMDDEM]

79. scrambled

[debm55]

87. Thank you, OLDMDDEM. That was the first thing I ever made as a kid. Still like them.

[OLDMDDEM]

89. I can remember

my 2 brothers and I having scrambled eggs for breakfast during school years, It sure beat cereal. Scramblerd eggs with American Cheese melted in them. Mmmmmm.

[virgdem]

80. Favorites:veggie omelet and eggs over easy.

[debm55]

83. Thank you virgdem. I like the veggie omelet too.

[Ocelot II]

82. As long as the whites aren't runny, I like them most ways.

[debm55]

84. Same here, Ocelot II and thank you for your post.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

88. Anybody have coddled eggs?

I was given beautiful coddlers and enjoy/am frustrated by them. Finding the right boiling time for soft coddled can be elusive.

?si=FGQEjEBp2atB_P0-

[debm55]

91. Thank you SleeplessinSoCal, I love the cups. also thank you for the video.

[Delarage]

92. Omelet

With spinach & feta

[debm55]

95. Thank you Delarage. A Greek omelet. That sounds delicious. I want to try.

[moniss]

94. Scrambled unless

the pan is full of hot bacon grease to ladle over them and then I'll take sunny side up/turned to pink with a medium yolk. I can handle an omelette as long as it's big and fluffy from being made with 4-6 eggs. They can throw sausage and bacon pieces into it or mushrooms and onions. I don't need cheese on/or in the omelette necessarily but some baby Swiss with the mushrooms and onions is good. No matter which way I have my eggs I like lots of black pepper.

I'm usually quite tolerant but anybody who puts ketchup on their eggs needs to be dragged away from the table and placed in a breakfast re-education camp.

[debm55]

96. Thank you moniss. My husband does the same. Makes the bacon first and makes the sunny side egg in the bacon grease. Very

tasty.

[Bayard]

97. Soft scrambled with cheese and lots of pepper

Every morning, courtesy of our hens.

[debm55]

101. Thank you Bayard. Now those are fresh eggs.

[Wicked Blue]

102. Over easy with home fries

A good Italian pepper-and-egg sandwich is my second favorite

[debm55]

104. thank you. Wicked Blue. I am going to try the pepper and egg sandwich. It sounds great.

[Wicked Blue]

106. Make sure you get it at an Italian place, maybe on the Strip

The sandwich should be on a good crusty roll and the peppers should be thoroughly cooked and soft. The eggs should not be burned.

Made the mistake of getting one in Maryland after years of not seeing them on menus anywhere. Roll was soft and the peppers were nearly raw.

Now that we live at the New Jersey shore, we can find great pepper-and-egg sandwiches in many places.

[debm55]

107. HAHAHAH, your from Pittsburgh? So am I , I am going down there to try it. Any special place you can name?

[Wicked Blue]

108. Not from there. NJ person who lived in Maryland for over 30 years

and finally moved back to NJ last fall.

My daughter lives in the Pittsburgh area - sent you a PM.

[brush]

103. Srambled, but with heavy cream added to beaten eggs before cooking them.

Use butter in ths skillet and cook them like regular scrambled eggs. The heavy cream adds a delicious flavor.

I also like scramble eggss Mexican-stule...cooked with the spicy Mexican sausage CHORIZO. They're delicious.

[debm55]

105. Thank you brush. they both sound delicious

[applegrove]

109. Smashed with spinach. Smashed is my name for eggs

Last edited Mon Aug 5, 2024, 03:07 PM - Edit history (1)

that are fried with the yolk smashed but not mixed so the yolk cooks separately from the whites, one on top of the other. Just tap the yolk once. Do not stir. Put the baby spinach in the buttered frying pan first. Then add two eggs. Smash the yoke. Do not stir. Let the eggs cook like that with the whites and yolk separate.

[debm55]

113. Thank you applegrove. That sounds wonderful and different. I will give it a try.

[samnsara]

115. any way NOT runny

[debm55]

116. Agree. 100% with you. TY samnsara.

[Elessar Zappa]

118. I mostly eat fried.

But I do love a good omelet with ham, mushrooms, green peppers, and sharp cheddar cheese.

[debm55]

121. Thank you Elessar Zappa. That sounds very delicious

[Emile]

119. Sausage and cheese omelette.

[debm55]

122. Yummy, Thank you Emile.

[jmowreader]

123. Omelet, please

I'll have mine with bacon, cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes.

[debm55]

124. Yummy, Thank you jwowreader,

[womanofthehills]

125. I eat lots of eggs because I have chickens

Organic grass fed beef tallow is a hot item now - even Walmart carries it. I put lots of beef tallow in a skillet & fry eggs over easy - really runny. If you fry on low heat - the bottom of the fried egg will not even be brown.

Anyway I made this for my friend a few days ago and he said best eggs of his life. Now all the nutritionists are saying to eat good fat!

I have my own chickens because I bake a lot and love raw egg yoke smoothies. Frozen coconut, frozen raspberries, a carrot, various vitamin powders, plus whatever and two raw egg yokes in a VitaMix blender - good fast breakfast.

[debm55]

127. Wow, womanofthehills. thank you for your great post. I am going to try the beef tallow.

[rockbluff botanist]

126. In a cake.

[debm55]

128. HAHAHAHAHH thank you rockbluff botanist.

[Baitball Blogger]

129. Between over easy and over medium and placed on toast.

[debm55]

130. Sounds very good. Thank you Baitball Blogger.
