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...

I have a passion for food, so I enjoy talking about it. I am overweight, but I'm trying. It's difficult for me because of some other issues, but I got jump started by losing 35 pounds at the hospital. I've not gained any of that back. No meth. Thanks for your support.

And as much as I talk about food, I actually try to eat fairly healthily, especially the last couple of months. My wife and I had a habit of eating out a lot, but since April we've eaten out one time (except for our time in Hawaii, during which we didn't really have a choice). So I'm cooking a lot more often at home.

yep; I definitely try to go easy on the bacon; not only for the smoke, but the salt. and only a smide of onion. I LOVE garlic so mine is definitely garlic heavy.


. I need to try the yolk only route. You're definitely looks more creamy. mine sort of looks like a lighter version with bits of parm/romano stuck to the pasta, onion/garlic etc.

do you temper the eggs after adding them to the pasta? or before hand, the pour/scoop into the pasta.

Yeah, I hardly ever have to add salt to mine once you add the prosciutto and the romano. The creaminess comes from the pasta water and the egg yolks. It's part of what I love so much about this dish.

Before. Separate the egg yolks into a bowl and add a half cup to a full cup of pasta water and whisk the shit out of it. The starchier the water the better, which is why I usually use half as much water as normal for the pasta when making this.

Then once you add the egg mixture to the pasta, I stir the pasta for at least a full minute, usually a couple. If you don't, you end up with scrambled eggs.

I'm not sure what you mean.

In a skillet, I fry my prosciutto for a couple minutes until it's crispy. Then I add my garlic and some crushed red pepper for a minute or so, then deglaze my pan with some white wine and let it simmer.

Meanwhile, I boil my water and get my pasta in the water. When it's just al dente, I reserve some pasta water and drain the pasta.

I temper my egg yolks.

I return the pasta to my big pot, dump the sauce on the pasta, add the cheese, fresh cracked black pepper, and parsley, then pour the tempered egg yolks on top and stir the shit out of it for 1-2 minutes.

The residual heat from the sauce and the pasta melts the cheese and sufficiently cooks the egg into a creamy carbonara.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. It makes 10 perfect hard boiled eggs at a time. It can also poach, scramble or make soft boiled, but I use it mainly for hard boiled.

This is pretty close to mine. But I also add crushed red pepper and deglaze with some white wine.
