How do you like 'em?

Scrambled? Poached? Fried? Cracked over someone's head? Raw?

I'm a "Toad in the Hole" fan myself:

Otherwise, fried.

So let's get this "eggs"cellent thread started! Woohoo!

I like 'em Benedict style - poached, on ham (maybe some spinach) and an English muffin and covered with hollandaise

or

soft boiled

or

scrambled with onion, sausage, cheese and salsa in a breakfast burrito

or

scotch egg - hard boiled, wrapped in sausage, deepfried and served on a stick

or

deviled:D

I like eggs.

Ever try scrambled eggs with fresh squeezed orange juice over them?

I tried it by accident one time (Spilled some juice, heh)....eat them like that as much as possible now. Sounds sick, but it's damn good.

i used to try to 'fancify' them scrambled eggs.

tried grated cheese, sauces, veggies ...


in the end i just made a mess - even when people do a better job - i just prefer plain. obviously - not an omelette fan.

there used to be these things you could buy - these little ceramic things called egg coddlers i think .. you'd soft boil an egg, add spices and meat, etc ...

too damn much work for me but they were tasty

There's a few...lots of culinary uses for eggs, in fact, more than a LOT of things.
But, for "eggs", here goes.

I like eggs florentine, if I've the time to properly make it...just recently did some, my own version....turned out pretty well.

Other than that, I like to throw about 3 eggs into a frypan, and do a light turning scramble, making sure not to mix/blend the white and yolks very much at all, I like the contrast when it's cooked...also, I don't add milk, and only do them for about a minute on a very hot pan, so the textue is something between the normal scrambles you'd get at a diner, and a soft boiled.

If I fry an egg, I like it sunny side up until the very end, cooked in a very hot pan, in olive oil...it crisps up the sides really well. then I flip it and let it cook for like 10 seconds. You end up with crispy outsides and a nice runny inside.
I'll serve that with either
a: a little dark soy and chopped chives/spring onions, some chilli.
b: on lightly (real) buttered toast alongside some lightly grilled tomato slices just seared with rosemary and pepper.

I'm not really big on boiled eggs.

Forgot, Occasionally, I'll blend fresh eggs and ginger into fresh orange juice. Super good for you.
