Eggs

[DregAddict]

I love eggs almost any style, but I'd have to say my favorite would be an omelette with any combination of ingredients folded in. Meats, veggies, mushrooms, and of course cheese. Then topped with hot sauce, avocado, and sour cream.

I'm not a huge egg fan, but I will eat them almost any way (except deviled eggs). I normally eat them over easy, but lately I have been poaching eggs at home.

Huevos Rancheros is my favorite egg style at the moment.

I usually have them for lunch at least once a week.

Anyone ever have a turkey egg? My parents have a few laying turkeys on their ranch.

When I was younger my father raised turkies , geese , ducks and chickens. Eggs from all of them made their way on my plate, but nothing beats a free range turkey egg sunny side up with sausage and toast for dipping. I like eggs prepared almost any way except boiled

Make a grilled cheese. Fry an egg over easy on top and spoon the sauce below over it.

Sauce:
1 tbs hoison
1 tbs sambal
1 tsp oyster sauce (optional)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Put a small amount of oil in a pan and get it hot (~350F) add the hoison, sambal and oyster sauce. Cook for about 10 seconds. Add the soy sauce and vinegar.

Reduce until consistency you like it. I like it slightly thickened so it sticks to food but runny enough to still mix with the egg yolk.

I made that sauce up awhile ago and have had it on pasta with a poached egg on top as well. Something about it makes it work with lots of starchy goodness.

I love eggs. Fried in butter or bacon grease & overeasy does it.

We've been saving bacon grease and using it for so many things. Oh, what a glorious thing it is!

 

[jmendez29]

Over easy, on top of a waffle with plenty of syrup. Damn good. Otherwise, if it has to be directly on a plate, over easy, so I can eat all the whites and leave the yolk intact and eat it whole. I can't stand to waste any of the yolky deliciousness across the plate.

 

[edmanster]

Man I am hungry for some eggs now! Just got a dozen and a half from a guy at work who has chickens. If I only had some bacon grease and a small pan and some bread and a toaster...

this is how I've been getting eggs for the last year! all I can say is that cage free eggs have the best most creamy yokes and have a beautiful orange color that I'm now drooling for there's a app called "my perfect egg timer" that is damn accurate for soft boiled.. my favorite is over easy eggs in a basket

 

[IXVolt]

I've had lots of friends tell me how they like egg'n a basket (or one eye'd jacks). But I haven't tried it that way yet. There's probably lots of names for it.

I've heard:

Hole-in-one eggs
Volcano eggs
Nest Eggs

And some 13 year old genius when I was growing up came up with "Tumors".


Any which way you call 'em, if you like fried eggs and you like buttered toast, its a home run.

 

[Yooper]

Don't you also hate cheese?!?!? Man, sometimes, it's like I don't even know you!!!!


Hmmm, I guess, technically, I don't.

Haha- yeah, I hate cheese also unless it's something like aged parmesan in pesto.

To really screw with people, I also hate chocolate. Which is weird, because I love beer (which is bitter) and coffee (which is bitter), but chocolate is a terrible bitter to me. I can't even stand cocoa butter in my lotions because of the chocolate oversmell. It's like this bad bad bitter smell and taste that I just can't stand.

I know lots of women love cheese and chocolate (and eggs), but I just can't manage those foods. I can eat just about anything else- raw conch in the Bahamas, fried grasshoppers in Oaxaca, even baby octopus in a sushi place. But chocolate? {shudder}

The worse thing I can imagine is a breakfast of eggs AND cheese.

 

[SharonaZamboni]

I've been semi-poaching my eggs in light cream. Halfway between a fried and poached. Awesome.

 

[andysim]

I like my eggs green with ham.

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

I really like poached eggs and over easy but my usual methods are scrambled with chedder and salsa or over easy over a piece of spent grain bread.

 

[Dan]

My favorite is an omelette with smoked salmon, minced onions, green peppers folded over and the top sprinkled with black pepper and parmesan cheese but that is only an occasional meal. The norm is scrambled eggs with fresh bits of bacon and cheddar cheese in the mix.

What the...?!?!?

Eggs and cheese go together like, like, well...like peanut butter and chocolate!!!!!

 

[emjay]

My go-to is a medium omelet with bacon (done in the microwave is best for this, believe it or not), white onion, and red pepper all diced and mixed in with the egg, with some grated medium cheddar folded in the middle (near the end) to melt. Awesome!

My favorite though is eggs benedict, usinh homemade hollandaise sauce with fresh tarragon or ancho pepper powder. Don't enjoy it as much as I'd like, as making hollandaise for one person is a bit ridiculous, especially since it only keeps for a few hours, meaning leftovers are not an option.

And as a kid I always ate mine sunny side up. This REQUIRES toast, since it's all about breaking the yolk and dipping the toast in it. I used to not even touch the white.

And one tip I learned years back: a bit of water (NOT milk) will make scrambled eggs so much fluffier!

Even better, I'd say. It goes together like cereal and milk. It's damn near essential!

Gotta disagree with you there. Milk FTW (and cheddar and white pepper).

 

[KISS Brew]

I hate cheese...I also hate chocolate

I will do my best to not judge you.

Somebody else already mentioned runny scrambled eggs with hot sauce and veggies. That's my go to all the way.

 

[emjay]

I'm not saying that using milk is bad and using water is the best, only that they're different. I'm just saying that water makes them fluffier, if that's what a person wants (which is impossible to disagree with as it's a fact ). They very well may still prefer them with milk, but the vast majority of people I've told who've ACTUALLY tried them with a bit of water are converts. I'm only talking about like a ½tsp or so per egg here... very little.

Cheddar though is something I definitely can't argue with! And it's hard to go wrong with ANY kind of pepper, be it black pepper, white pepper, bell pepper, or even (as mentioned in my previous post) ancho (or cayenne) pepper, or some mixture thereof.

The Sunday breakfast neighborhood cookout starts with about 2 pounds of home cured, hickory smoked, thick sliced bacon with the rind on. The eggs floaters in the grease, some soft some hard but real greasy. the hash browns are fried in home rendered lard (pork fat is free at the grocery store). The biscuits are 3 inch round with the choices being flour, corn, or spent grain. we usually have between 6 and 15 neighbors contribute and pig out

 

[Zuljin]

Fried over easy.

Next is scrambled with tons of stuff in them. Really, it becomes less about eggs and more about how much stuff I can fry in a pan.

That's really cool.

I hope you have life insurance.

I hope you have life insurance.

61 here and cholesterol is good,, think you need to read this

as far as insurance,, none but I plan to live forever and so far so good

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Sunny side up for me, with a fallback of basted or over easy...
I like dipping my toast into the runny yolk. Omlettes with lots of meat, cheese & veggies are good too.
So Creamy, you gonna make a chart or at least a list of the styles of eggs & the matching personalities?
Regards, GF.

 

[Homercidal]

So many good ways to eat eggs here. I left work without taking my eggs home yesterday, so I had to settle on 3 brown free range eggs, over easy, with a couple of slices of wheat toast as an after work snack. I forgot I had some left over bacon in the fridge until just now. Darn it.

Never had Eggs Benedict. It's on my to do list.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

After you've had eggs benedict you can graduate to eggs florentine. If I remember correctly, it was one of the many methods my grandmother had of getting me to eat my spinach.

Last night, AFTER dinner, I had 2 soft boils that admittedly I undercooked, with bacon and toast. Even undercooked, it was like love on a plate. Plus, a soft boil fits PERFECTLY in a port glass.

Hehe, I have not yet begun to do analysis of the data. I will, however, say with 75% certainty, that you are most likely a firm mattress sleeper.

 

[TxBrew]

I like a medium firmness mattress and as for eggs a frittata or omelet.
