How do you like your eggs?

Depends. If I'm at home and I can be uncouth and unmannered, I like then over easy (read this as raw. They're cooked enough to be solid to get to my plate, but that's it) where I can dip my toast in yolk and add ketchup after. In public, I like them scrambled runny (read raw). I also like quiche, deviled, hard boiled and egg salad.

If you know me for any length of time, you'll find out I like my food to pretty much talk back to me (read as so undercooked as to be raw).

Scrambled with cheese or garlic and ginger, yum. Or sometimes sunny side up when I'm in a toast dunking mood. Eggs for dinner: spinach garlic frittata with mozarella.

It started with just fried eggs, then moved on to scrambled. For a while after I seen "V for Vendetta" I was doing that thing where you punch ( or bite) a hole in toast, toss it in a frying pan, and fry an egg in there. It's great. Of course this also reminds me I don't think I've had eggs since about August.

Scrambled w/ cheese and I love mushrooms in my eggs, either an official omelot or just scrambled in.

Orange juice is optional but I need lots and lots of sweet coffee.

I like em different ways, depends on who make em. If I make em, I like em nice and runny. I basically mash them within an inch of their eggy life then put them on a slice of toast and eat away. Yum! Salt please!

If my hubby makes em, I like em scrambled. From there, he can put anything in em. They always taste great with onions, mushrooms, milk, parsley, garlic salt, DILL (!!!) and topped with cheddar. :essen:

If its at a restaurant, almost always make em scrambled for me.

If Mom makes em, I just close my eyes and let her surprise me. That woman can make anything taste wonderful.:)

En cocotte. I crack an egg into a small ceramic dish, put the dish in a pan of water, cover the pan, turn the burner on high, and set the timer for about seven minutes. It's similar to poaching.

I like frittatas, omelets and eggs benedict, too.

Over easy!

There's a great place called the Gold Rush Cafe, where you can order a John Wayne, corn tortilla on the bottom, hash browns, then a egg (over easy...), cheese and salsa. All stacked on top of each other, delicious!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and I can eat it any time, anywhere.

My favorite egg-concoctions include:

"dippy" eggs (that's what I called them when I was little) with white or wheat toast.

Egg-in-a-frame (two pieces of toast with the centers cut out into holes (usually use a small juice glass to cut it out, then buttered on both sides, egg cracked into the middle, fried however you like, and you also fry the circles from the middle - great for dipping!)

Scrambled with cheese and some Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt (or hot sauce if I have some handy).

Mmm....I love breakfast!

Sunny side up, mixed into a bowl of grits. Occasionally someone will see me do this and ask "How long have you been off the farm?". From what I've been told, eating eggs this way was an old Southern farming tradition. I just benefitted from spending my summers with old, Southern farmers. I can remember eating breakfast this way with my great-grandparents, who were born in the early 1880's.

Half-dozen eggs over light, with bacon, toast, and grits. Add to that a side of pancakes and you have a really good breakfast.

I think I'll try that. I quite enjoy grits.

Question though: Is it straight up / no chaser? Or can I add butter? or Tabasco? or milkcreamhoneysaltpeppermolassesbaconbiscuitsfriedchicken?

Another "Over easy" :eusa_clap

That Gold Rush Cafe sounds like my cup of tea, near Reno, Nevada theres a casino/cafe called "Gold Ranch" not far from Boomtown, that serves a similar breakfast called “The El Dorado” it’s a burrito fulled with eggs, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, cheese, dices bacon, and sausage with side of guacamole, sour cream and salsa! Really huge at a great price :)

Ft Polk, LA messhalls sided eggs with grits and cornbread with syrup;
almost a de rigeur combo, which I haven't had since. Southern
cooking is something this Yankee misses!

I make mine over-easy and very hard. Other days I'll scramble them with cheese or make an omelette with whatever goodies I can find in the fridge.

Steak house eggs! I do that when I'm not in the mood to make dinner.
