How do you like your eggs?

I’ve been eating eggs a lot more lately. To get some extra protein in me. I can tell the difference, as before I used to only eat about 4-6 eggs a month.

I know there is many ways to cook up eggs and dishes that use eggs as the main ingredient.

Right now I’m on a scrambled egg kick.

Been eating them mostly scrambled with Mexican seasoning, diced onions and cheese.

I also like a fried egg over easy with some good seasoning on it. Cajun, Mrs. Dash, Mexican or seasoned salt.

Also like a good omelette. But I’m not the best at making one.

So how do you like your eggs? While I like scrambled and fried. I’m looking to try them some other way’s as well, to keep things interesting.

Hard Boiled. 11 min. Flash with cold water, cut in half, S&P.

Over medium fried, but it's hard for me to get the timing just right. I'd rather have under than over but love them when they are a gelatinous yolk with a touch of runnyness.

Scrambled in a pot on low. Season after cooked, take a while on low but it's worth the time. If I want to get fancy, I use the Gordon Ramsay Cook method .

Scotch Eggs if you can pull it off.

Folded (basically scrambled but quite moist), fried and basted (fried partially then covered with a bit of water and a lid to steam the top), coddled, omelettes, tacos, ranchero, poached. I love them all. If the yolk is intact, I want it runny.

Over hard. I can't even look at runny eggs otherwise my inner vegan gets in the pilot's seat.

It’s scrambled or fried for me, I can’t do the over easy method at all. My wife who can’t eat hamburger or steak unless it shows no sign of red eats her eggs over easy. My dad was a cook in the Navy said undercooked eggs were potentially a risk of salmonella. He always said 165 degrees was necessary and that rules out over easy.
 
Boiled - Runny, Soft, or Hard
Poached - Runny
Scrambled, all with hot buttered toast.

Fried - Runny with Chips or Full English.

In my younger days I used to make a drink in the blender with:
Half Pint of Milk
1 Raw Egg
1 Banana
1 tbsp Wheat Germ
1tsp Honey.
 
scrambled and shiny wet just salt and 2 oz hard parm cheese grated in them
over easy salt only
boiled yolks like semi soft pudding consistency salt only

Sunny and runny, with buttered toast and sliced jalapeño.

Scrambled very soft, drizzle with live oil.

French omelette, chives, chervil, parsley, tarragon, butter.
 
My very favorite way to cook eggs is creamed. Served on toast, either bread, bagel or English muffin.
I eat and enjoy them all, boiled soft or hard, as a salad, fried over-easy or sunny side up, or raw. Oh, almost forgot, Eggs Benedict, rate high here.

One of the most versatile ingredient/food.

Cold hardboiled eggs are particularly good to have around during the summer heat.

Soft boiled, hardboiled, pickled, scrambled, sunny side up, or poached, as long as they are fresh I’m a happy camper.
