Question of the Day, Saturday, July 8

[Winchester]

Happy Weekend!

How do you like your eggs? What's your favorite way to cook and eat eggs?

I love a good omelet. Failing that, I'll take a Windowpane, AKA Bird in a Nest, I think they're called. A thick slice of fried buttered bread with a hole in the middle for the egg. I'll take two, please.

What about you?

I eat them overhard now when we eat out. Many restaurants switched to those packaged scrambled eggs, even with omelets, so I want to make sure I get a real egg. I can taste a milk carton egg every time! At home, I make them over medium. Over easy for my husband. I used to eat them over easy but after getting runny whites several times I stopped......

 

[catloverfromwayback]

Scrambled or boiled.

 

[misty8723]

poached, not runny. Or hard boilerd.

Eggs are not something I really care for and rarely eat. I like an omelet as long as it is cooked completely, the French way is to not cook it completely through. I also like French toast.

Eggs offer so many options it is difficult to choose just one "best" way of preparing them. Scrambled is nice, fancy it up for a special occasion by scrambling in a double boiler over simmering water. Frittata is always good. Over easy or eggs in a hole ( Winchester 's windowpane). Egg salad, hard boiled egg to embellish potato salad.

When I get duck eggs I tend to use them for baking but they are also good any way you'd prepare chicken eggs. And I'm so used to fresh eggs with their deep colored yolks and "stand up" whites that store eggs look anemic to me.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Every way. I do love a sunny side up with a creamy runny yolk to dip my toast in. I also love them firm, poached, scrambled, hard boiled, etc. A good breakfast sandwich keeps me satisfied for a long time!

 

[neely]

Scrambled at home and an omelet or frittata when I'm out for brunch.

 

[Lari]

Soft-boiled in an egg cup that I can dipped buttered toast in. I also like them poached on a Benedict. I love runny yolks. One of the worst parts of being pregnant is giving up runny yolks for 9 months.

over medium

Don’t much eat ‘em but watched V for Vendetta recently and there’s a great scene with…eggs in a basket? That looks tasty.

 

[iPappy]

The chickens my Mom has lay eggs with a yolk so deeply rich in color they're almost dark orange. I like them anyway that the white is cooked but the yolk is runny. Soft boiled is delicious, but I hate peeling them so I've been steaming them in butter. They're done in no time and no annoying peeling!

 

[muffy]

I don't eat eggs no matter how they are cooked.

 

[susanm9006]

Over medium. I use those silicone rings to make the egg round and easy to flip. Buttered toast to go with it. If I have breakfast out at a restaurant I usually don’t order eggs. McDonald’s it’s a bacon egg and cheese biscuit.

 

[Jem]

It depends on how/when it's being eaten/served....
Over easy for a breakfast meal...I have to dip my toast in the yolk.
Over medium or hard for a fried egg sandwich
Poached in the microwave, then chopped up with a bit of butter, S&P, for a simple little snack...sometimes I just get a craving.
I love deviled eggs for a picnic or BBQ
Hard boiled if I'm going to make egg salad sandwiches.
I sometimes like a fluffy omelet...but only if there's a LOT of cheese.
Scrambled is probably my least favorite...they're just...meh.
I've rarely eaten soft/med or hard boiled eggs on their own.

 

[strider rose]

omelets, scrambled or fried

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Scrambled usually. I only hard boil eggs for egg salad because I hate the yolks. I also like omelets and I will do an over medium and put them on avocado toast.

 

[kashmir64]

I have two large gall stones that absolutely HATE eggs. So if I eat them like I used to I wish I was dead.
The only way I can tolerate them now is in a cake or cookies.

 

[Kat0121]

Very softly scrambled so they are still wet
Over easy
Soft boiled with butter, salt & pepper
Poached soft in a Benedict
Sunny side up

Winchester I love those. We always called them egg in a frame. YUM!

Lilith likes scrambled eggs too. She's even pickier about them than I am. If they get cold or are even slightly overcooked she will turn her nose up at them but I can't blame her. I do too. She's Mama's girl for sure.

 

[lizzie]

I will bake with them.
