The incredible edible egg.
 

Is there any food as versatile as the egg? How do you like 'em? Over easy? Sunny side up? Fried hard? Hard or soft boiled? On an English muffin?

If I'm having an egg just to eat, it's gotta be over hard. I can't handle the texture of gooey yolks. I know that's akin to cooking a steak well, but I can't help it. Don't care for scrambled or any other way, and my preference is as a sandwich on toast.

However, I make a damn fine browned butter fresh pasta dish with sage and an over easy egg on top. The egg yolk mixes with the browned butter for a creamy sauce... :drool:

If I'm eating a fried egg, the yoke must be runny.

I do not like hard-cooked eggs. I do, however, love deviled eggs.

My favorite is poached and then topped on toast or a corn pancake.
Never like them cooked hard scrambled or fried. I like egg white cooked and yolk runny but warm.

Fertilized

Best sandwich I've had recently was a fried farm fresh egg with homemade bacon on homemade bread. It was divine.

Fertilized? Eeoooooow!

hard boiled or scrambled w/ cheese is what I prefer.

im a huge deviled eggs fan.

Poached

I mentioned this in another thread, but I like eggs over-easy on a pile of breakfast potatoes.

Sometimes scrambled sometimes "dunky"

More seriously...
Love them in eggs benedict
Scrambled with dill (underrated and simple ingredient for it)
Also baked like in a gruyere quiche, but mediterranean food has interesting uses too (great in tagines, tave kosi, tunisian egg dishes)

Scrambled, or omelets. Wont touch no yellow ooze.

Eating the unborn embryo of a chicken is kind of ****ed up if you think about it.

Over easy on a bed of hash. ****ing delicious! :drool:

I'm about to have some scrambled with cheese

I also enjoy one flip and no flip and hard boiled

my favorite might be in omlet form mmmmmmmmmmm omlet

Awesome on a good burger. Runny yolk and toast is heaven. Deviled eggs kick ass too. Fried egg sandwiches the ultimate quick snack.

Fried runny yolk, tabasco on top and dip my bacon and toast into the yolk.

Also, the breakfast bowl at IHOP, fried runny yolk. Seasoned home fries topped with egg, then diced tomato, then crisscrossed bacon strips.

Over medium.

Omelet with all manner of foodstuffs in it. Eggs rule.

over easy is the way to go.

I like em on a burger and when you bite in they explode and ooze into the cracks.

I like em on freaking everything.


I suspect that I may not like the '100 year old' egg though.

yeah, that and balute are probably off the menu for me as well

Love eggs Benedict or spinach, asparagus or crab Benedict. Scrambled with fresh chives.

IHop cooks the worst eggs. IMO they suck for breakfast. Perkins is better if you hafta' eat at one of those places.

Italian stratas. I make one every Christmas morn.

a couple food obsessed dudes around here

Over easy with country fried steak, gravy, and hash browns. Buttered wheat toast.

Over Easy, on potato bead with bacon and a slice of tomato and Swiss cheese. FTMFW!

Oh yea, no balutes for me either. Yall some sick mother****ers. Its like IT for breakfast.

Welcome to foodplanet

Your doctor must record your cholesterol in scientific notation.

Or very fat. Since this has turned into food planet lately.

Frittata with carmelized onions, pecorino, emmentaler, and fresh sweet basil.

We have a good local one. Franchise, guy has run it forever and it ALWAYS has a wait time.

Love eggs anyway. My breakfast was 2 eggs over easy diced fried potato with green and red peppers and 2 sausage links. I like my eggs to run but at the point thats its nearly to solidify.

Actually, a lot of recent studies have indicated that eggs don't really have much of an impact on the body's cholesterol. Eggs are high in cholesterol themselves, sure, but the body doesn't just absorb it and turn it to LDL.

Scrambled with potatoes, cheese, ham and/or sausage.

My total cholesterol as of last Tuesday was 124.

You total cholesterol is more related to how much saturated fat you eat not food high in cholesterol. And relatively speaking, food intake does little to change your cholesterol numbers as this is mostly genetic. Food high in cholesterol like shrimp or eggs does nothing to elevate your cholesterol numbers. I eat 12-16 eggs a week and have great lipid numbers.

Hmmmm. Yummmm!

Actually sugar and processed flour products raise cholesterol per new data.
You can go paleo and even eat butter, cream and saturated fat and it won't raise your cholesterol. Other new data is that hi cholesterol may not even be the culprit as much as inflammation.

I like mine soft boiled. About 5 of them in a big bowl with pepper. Chop em up til it's a big bowl of egg soup.

Scrambled with crumbled turkey sausage.

Been a (very) long time, but I'm also a fan of eggs benedict.

Scrambled I like 'em made with butter and a few spoons of fresh salsa, and some chives after they're cooked.

Oooohhhh!!!

Campbelled Eggs!!

Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, no water added, 7 eggs scrambled. Chop up a few extra fresh mushrooms. Fresh ground black pepper. Maybe a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Cook until set, but moist.

Ok, ok, we got it.

Oooohhhh!!!

poached and over easy are my favorites. but I HATE when I order over easy and it comes out with raw runny yolk. the yolk should be creamy when cut into , slowly oozing out. not immediately running out all over your plate raw etc.

Oooohhhh!!!

Anyone ever has Campbelled Eggs?

:spock: Isn't that the definition of over easy? It sounds to me like you really want over medium.

not IMO. when the yolk runs out raw and runny and even areas of clear yolk.
it should ooze out in a nice creamy texture. not pop out like you sliced open big zit.

Then what would one order if they preferred it less cooked than that?

I don't think over easy means raw yolk, that's all.
just a smidge more cooked than totally raw.

Sounds like what you want is over medium. Over easy is cooked but a runny, liquid yolk. Over medium is a thick, liquid yolk.

Anyone ever have Campbelled eggs? I hear they are teh bomb!

:hmmm:
Perhaps you're right.

They are. Which is why I said over medium is where it's at. Pay attention broseph ;)

I've discovered that I prefer my eggs without pepper. I have one egg and a couple pieces of toast (from homemade bread) pretty much every morning for breakfast. One morning I forgot to pepper my egg, and I liked it better.

I HATE EGGS!!!

Have been hating them since two years old and my Mom tried to stuff disgusting scrambled eggs in my mouth and then a few more times with ketchup. If someone is eating egg salad I have to leave as I will throw up. Soft boiled eggs and super runny eggs make me ill as well.

Balut, anyone?

Live Taspar eggs are a delicacy on Cardassia.

Doctor advised me to go yokeless because of Cholestoral so I haven't eaten ones in awhile. Loved them though.

86 the mushrooms and it would be awesome.

Moron doctors, SMH

The guy posts about nothing but food. Not about the eggs, but rather the fact he's either A) on meth or B) pushing three bills.

Eggs are a healthy food though. I eat them by the truckload. It's a myth that they're fattening or bad for your cholesterol.

For anyone who is into hard-boiled eggs - either on their own or in some other recipe - Costco sells packs of two dozen pre-peeled hard-boiled eggs for something like $4. It's glorious.

I never put pepper on eggs. I almost always use curry though.

What kind of curry? Like powder or curry sauce?

I've been putting tapatio on mine.

Powder usually. I sprinkle it on.

Aint no man eat no 50 eggs. My boy Luke he a Earth Shaker.

Sunny side up?

I do like an egg fried hard on low heat in olive oil with curry, onion powder and garlic powder.

Shrooms? You can't nix those they are THE best--especially in eggs or poached on top a pile of sauteed shrooms. I make a wild mixed mushroom pasta. Much better than meatballs. But if you want your balls handed to ya' I understand.

I forgot all about--Huevos rancheros. Now those are good eggs.

I'm going to try this with some soft boiled tonight.

But no sausage? Right, Lesbo?

That's how I got into curry. I walked into the kitchen one morning a few years ago and my oldest daughter, whose biological father is Indian, was frying eggs like this. She had been learning some recipes from his family. I was instantly ravenous and thoroughly enjoyed the eggs.
