So, my spouse eats eggs a particular way with a particular condiment and I've never seen anything like it, so I was wondering: How do any and all of you eat your eggs?

This is a weird topic, but I'd really like to know.

starman · Nov 30, 2003, 11:08 AM

Scrambled.

sanity assassin · Nov 30, 2003, 11:17 AM

on a plate.

philzilla · Nov 30, 2003, 11:17 AM

I don't eat eggs usually, but I'm guessing I would use a fork. Hands would get a little too slimey me thinks.

What do you eat ON your eggs -- condiments -- if anything?

wdlove · Nov 30, 2003, 11:42 AM

I like an omelette with onions, mushrooms, & cheese.

Axo1ot1 · Nov 30, 2003, 11:51 AM

I don't eat eggs

They can be a neat ingreadient in baking or garnishing but separately? Nah.

That would be like eating cinnamonsticks or cookiedough -- bleh

voodoo · Nov 30, 2003, 12:04 PM

Oh and what does your boyfriend use ON his eggs?

ironknee · Nov 30, 2003, 12:05 PM

sunnyside up with salt and pepper...and toast to dunk.mmmmm

deekay1 · Nov 30, 2003, 12:09 PM

hard boiled with salt or easy over with season all.

i also like egg sandwiches and eggs in my salad. yum!

Dubya's Dealer · Nov 30, 2003, 12:35 PM

I like my eggs poached in melted butter and creme fraiche wih lardons (chunks of bacon)....

Serve on top of toast. Kind of Eggs Benedict-y.

But it'll kill ya if you do it too often ...

minus the salt...

Scrambled too, on buttered toast.

variable06 · Nov 30, 2003, 12:43 PM

Scrambled with ketchup. My friends tell me they look like brains.

NYCFarmboy · Nov 30, 2003, 01:03 PM

Scrambled...

in real 100% butter. no salt until AFTER they are cooked. (Salting eggs while cooking them causes them to be rubbery and get all watery.)

Real scrambled eggs do not include any milk either..just 100% whipped eggs, scrambled over medium heat in real butter.

This time of year is truffle season..I'm told that shaving a truffle over scrambled eggs is VERY good...I think I saw that on Julia Child on PBS...not sure whether they are cooked first with the eggs though?

ledmirage · Nov 30, 2003, 01:37 PM

Mozart loved eggs. Period. It was his favorite food. He was not satisfied unless he was served at least SIX fried eggs on a plate at a time... Makes you wonder why he died so young.

wdlove · Nov 30, 2003, 01:48 PM

Another delicious omelette that the Cheescake Factory makes is with mashed potato, tomato, onion, and 3 kinds of cheese. With some of their nice cubed potatoes on the side.

cjrivera · 04:47 PM

Green, of course. With a side of ham.

I like them on a train,
I like them on a plane,
I like them on a boat,
I like to eat them with a goat......

Hey. I should write a book about that....

DING! DING! DING! THAT is the point of contention: How CAN you eat eggs that look like you just slit your wrists over them? My spouse does the same thing and it just grosses me out...that's what prompted this thread.

because i'm an adult, and i know that it's ketchup, not blood. it's quite simple, really.

Sunny Side up with bacon and herbal salt.

Veronica uses ketchup though...ugh

iWrite · Nov 30, 2003, 02:30 PM

I forgot to say something:

He does this with OVER EASY EGGS, not scrambled eggs.

So, he takes the yolks and mashes everything up together...then mixes in ketchup. There are rivulets of yellow yolk running over rivulets of red ketchup...plasma and blood eggs.

BLEGH.

I like hard boiled eggs.

ShortcutToMoncton · Nov 30, 2003, 07:55 PM

Scrambled, over easy, boiled or poached...and all with varying amounts of pepper and ketchup (depending on mood, complimenting food and time of day, of course).

Mmm mmm.

Hmmmmm, salmonella.

P.S. for those who are like me and like the yolk warm but uncooked, it's my understanding that the salmonella lives on the shell of the egg. I could be wrong, though, so don't quote me.

Fancy: scrambled with salmon, onion, and mushroom mixed in (yummy

).

Simple: scrambled, sometimes with A1 sauce.

nredman · Nov 30, 2003, 08:36 PM

i don't eat eggs much but when i do its either scrambled or an omelette with ham chunks in it, with cheese and mayo on toast.

sunny side up with lots of pepper over a bed of rice with soy sauce. ho cuz!

iWrite · Nov 30, 2003, 10:23 PM

OKAY, I GET THE POINT KITTEN AND MASTRAP

Anyway, so only two takers on the ketchup mixed in with eggs?

No sunnyside uppers or over easy doinkers with ketchup mixed in?

So, my spouse IS the only one that likes yolks mixed with ketchup?

???

BlackGriffen · Nov 30, 2003, 10:41 PM

So many ways to prepare, and they're all so tasty!

Over easy with salt and pepper at the end is always nice.

Soft boiled eggs with buttered toast are to die for.

Deviled eggs... (MMmmmmmm!)

A little something I called "patch eggs" as a kid. Cut a whole out of the middle of a slice of bread, butter edges, put on fry pan, put an egg in the center, fry the cut out center in to a well toasted "cookie" for dipping in to the yolk of said egg. If your bad at flipping eggs, like I used to be, the bread provides a nice frame.

Omelettes (of all kinds).

Scrambled (add salsa while still in the pan

).

JHromadka · Dec 1, 2003, 03:18 AM

Alone I like eggs over easy. I often eat them scrambled with thinly sliced sausage. Regardless, I use S&P.

Eug · 10:45 AM

A local restaurant makes green eggs and ham. And yes the eggs really are green, not eggs with a green side salad or something like most people seem to think when they read the menu. Quite good actually.
