Tazio Posted Tuesday at 19:57 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:57 Brilliant food form. Delicious and versatile. Scrambled, boiled, poached, fried, omelettes. I love them and because of that always buy the best quality ones I can get with lovely rich golden yolks. However I can’t eat a fried egg roll as the texture is all wrong, a scrambled egg on a soft roll with loads of black pepper though is a splendid thing. Egg haters are just weirdos with no redeeming features. That is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My working class credentials are in danger though, as these days I'm quite partial to an Eggs Benedict with some decent ham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonnothejambo Posted Tuesday at 20:17 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:17 Scrambled eggs, warmed tinned kippers and brown sourdough toast is delicious.

Ked Posted Tuesday at 20:18 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:18 Sausage and fried egg double. Scrambled egg on toast. Fried egg and chips Fried egg on waffle or tattie scone Poached egg on toast. Mark's and Spencer's scotch egg . The yolks still runny. Egg should never have tomatoe sauce brown sauce or any sauce near it. And beans next to egg should result in the birch.

Morocco claims it, Israel is obsessed with claiming it, and the Lebanese say it is definitely theirs but they claim every good Middle Eastern food is from there.

Salad Fingers Posted Tuesday at 21:24 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:24 I love eggs. She hates the smell of eggs so I like to make boiled eggs in the mornings, chop them up in the cup with a bit of butter, salt and pepper and leave it sitting in the cup for a few mins for the smell to radiate around the house. If you're frying, is it over easy or sunny side up? I cant stand eggs fried on one side and that snotty white they have on top. Have to be fried on both sides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the yolk needs to be runny. A hard yolk is a sin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy Posted Tuesday at 21:31 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:31 Omelette ☑️ Scrambled ☑️ Fried ☑️ Poached ☑️ Boiled Used to get a sort of Chinese roll (bit stodgier than our morning variety) filled with thinly sliced, fried potatoes cooked with chillies (土豆丝 - Google it and make sure to ask for it next time you're in a Chinese restaurant) and a fried egg for breakfast on the way to work.

Cade Posted Tuesday at 22:12 Share Posted Tuesday at 22:12 Fried eggs end up with burnt crispy edges and an unset top because people use far too much heat. Do it low and slow, effectively poaching the egg in hot oil. Baste the top towards the end of cooking. Keep the yolk semi runny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
