Eggs, how should they be cooked?

[skadistic]

Quiche or souffle.

 

[cFccFc]

Boiled for at most 5 minutes. Gives the egg a soft and juice feeling, instead of that hard and then smelly feeling the hard-boiled egg gives.

- 5 minutes is jummy.

My favorite is simply over easy. I like sunny side up if you can get the white cooked sufficiently, but I've never really been good at that. I also like boiled and always keep a dozen or so boiled eggs in the fridge.

My favorite "alternate" method, which I do maybe 20% of the time is eggs in the basket.

Over-Medium is best.

Oh man egg in the hole! My dad made that stuff all the time when I was a kid in Singapore.

I had ham and eggs for dinner, yes i know thats a breakfast meal but i thought it sounded good.

Over-medium, on a sandwich of two toasted slices of white bread, the sandwich contianing fried hashbrowns, fried ham or capicolla, american cheese, and hot sauce (preferably Frank's Red Hot)...

Yeah, it's healthy...

Various forms of sausage also work well in lieu of ham or capicolla...

 

[Grisu]

scrambled, hard boiled, easy over in that order

pretty much any way to use eggs in cooking is delicious, though (like useing it in Eierspätzle, Cakes or in a Gratin) :yummy:

 

[Shaihulud]

Mixed with flour, sugar, baking powder, chocolate and baked as a cake, thats the best egg dish imo.

 

[Dame Edna]

Poached eggs with soft runny yokes on toasted turkish bread with fried cripy bacon, fried mushrooms and spinach - where is that number for room service!

Bacon and egg pie

That's called "quiche."

I have a dedicated omelette pan; nothing else ever gets cooked in it. Add in whatever you want: ham, mushrooms onions, cheese (or my Barney Gumble special: "two kinds of cheese!") or all of them, along with herbes fines. I don't even need a spatula to turn it and fold it, just a flip of the wrist.

If you like scrambled, you should learn to make omelettes. The pan is a breeze to clean afterward. Plus everybody is inordinately impressed with what really is a very simple and basic skill.

No it isn't. At least not according to Wikipedia:

A bacon and egg pie differs from a quiche in a number of ways, most notably the absence of dairy products (cheese and milk) and the presence of an upper crust.

It's just not the same without pastry on the top

 

[LucyDuke]

Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked, and then cut up, then put onto a grill.

 

[Hadesspirit]

Boiled and serviced near onion and olive oil.

As a proper chef I despise everything to do with breakfast and eggs cooked to order. Every time I cook brunch I feel like I am being punished for something. It is a universal feeling in the profession, anytime you go out to eat for breakfast you can be sure that your food is made with an extra side of spite.

People who order eggs over easy are the most evil people on earth. Why not order sunny side up? It is the same damn thing, just not flipped over. Sunny side up is easy, you put it on a low flicker flame, wait 7 minutes and it is done. For over easy the yolks break 50% of the time when you flip them which means you have to throw it in the garbage and start over again. This derails everything else in the kitchen and means that everyone has to wait longer. All the food ordered by your dining companions also has to be refired because it will be cold by the time the replacement over easy is done. Meanwhile you have piles of new orders you can't get to and everyone is wondering where there food is.

I say scrambled, and then a sandwich made with them. With bacon and cheese, and some hash browns and coffee on the side.

No way. Nuh Uh. Nope. No freakin deal.

I have only one thing to say about this topic. And that is over easy. I repeat:

OVER EASY!!

/Thread

But seriously over easy is the best. You are all suffering hallucinations if you don't think so.

Two pieces of toast with two pieces of American cheese, 4 pieces of bacon and 2 over easy eggs. Oh man...then you dip the samich in the yolk....ohhhh... Glass of 2% milk to wash it down....
