@OldCatLady One of the reasons I love my bigger instant pot. Can hard cook 13 eggs in a very short time.
My husband eats too many of them. He can’t figure out why he wouldn’t sit down and have four eggs at one meal, but he can sit down with a plate with eight deviled eggs (four full eggs) and eat those with no problem.
@lisaviolet my partner and i have talked about this too haha! i can barely finish two or three scrambled eggs, but i won’t make too many deviled eggs at a time because i could easily eat them all.
There’s a breakfast place on the far side of the Twin Cities, Fat Nat’s Eggs. Used to eat there every other Saturday when I lived down there. Best eggs I ever had, no matter how I ordered, but they had butter-basted eggs that were perfect.
@bayportbob Eating anything at all is real weird, when you think about it, especially back when it was less artificial and presumably less taken for granted.
You’d have to slaughter an animal and consume it, driven by an unexplained need to take things outside you and put them on the inside, transforming what used to be life, extracting… what, and why?
@bayportbob i still think it’s fun(ny) to think about this stuff but realistically humans probably just watched and learned from other thriving animals in the area
I love eggs pretty much any way you can fix them, scrambled (which to me mean pieces that are still visibly yolk or white), over easy, basted, poached, omelets, or in things like quiche, cake, cookies etc. REALLY looking forward to the young chickens I am raising currently starting to lay…
My next attempt at something different will probably be:
this question was asked recently but, over medium. (fried egg that has been flipped so the yolk is covered but runny, and the whites fully cooked.) too risky to order out tho, so only something i have at home or at my parents’.
i like other eggs too tho, hard or soft boiled, scrambled, omelette, poached. gotta have toast, too.
The sides make the difference. Must have a slab of ham, real grits (not that runny yuck), and a good, thin, slightly burnt on the bottom biscuit. And either apple butter or strawberry preserves to round it out.
We have chickens on our acreage so we have fresh eggs. As others have said, big difference!
My egg process is this; non stick pan, turn heat to 4 spray or drizzle olive oil. Grind black pepper over the oil. Start dicing green peppers, onions, mushrooms. Make sure oil is hot, dump diced veg in. Add 1/2t of minced garlic (good for you, THEY say). Break one egg and add an egg white in mixing bowl (I use a coffee cup or a Pyrex measuring cup) add 1/2t of soy sauce and whip egg. Pour egg over hot veg. Cover, reduce heat to low for 4 min. Uncover, flip in one piece, turn off burner, put a slice of bread in toaster (see Hayward Banks TOAST) when the toast is done, slide the vegeggs on plate with toast, enjoy! If I have diced ham or cooked sausage, or bacon, I add them at the “dump veg in” step.
Adding the soy sauce and covering on low lets it rise like a quiche.
@JnKL agree on the fresh eggs! i used to dislike “plain” eggs - always made my stomach feel vaguely unsettled after eating them. until i lived with someone whose family owned a farm. he brought back fresh eggs (among other goodies) and was like, just try them. game changer. we haven’t lived together for some time so it’s back to supermarket eggs for me, but i buy the more expensive organic free range ones. no, they’re certainly not AS good, but still make a huge difference to the regular ones i was eating all those years ago.
@cinoclav one of the best ways!

in a breakfast burrito
Omelet
@cengland0 Preferably a farmer’s omelet smothered in chili.
yes
hard boiled!
Benedict.
@PocketBrain My favorite, which is what I always get when I go to New Orleans - Palace Cafe.
Have not been able to find any better
@asplus Palace was our go to spot last time in NO. Always a good choice. Didn’t hurt that we stayed at the Sheraton almost right across from it.
All the ways.
@RiotDemon
@mike808 @RiotDemon yes… definitely!
They make me sick if they aren’t baked. So I feel like I have a pretty good case for something like a frittata being the best way to have eggs.
Or cake. Cake is good.
Scrambled with cheese and sausage or bacon and salsa wrapped up in a tortilla.

@simplersimon
I never before heard of basting a egg!
@Lynnerizer @simplersimon It’s a wonderful thing, nice on a weekend when you can just hang out and obsess over your eggs…

@Lynnerizer @simplersimon @stolicat oh my gosh this just sounds so wonderful I need to try this morning!!
con chorizo
Over medium
yolks still runny
white firm through
hard to do right, but the bestest when they are
baked into a cake, please
Easter. dyed or in a video game.
over hard, yolks broken.
Fresh from your own chickens and over medium. I’m so spoiled by fresh eggs now store bought are nearly inedible.
You guys are making this lurker hungry and all I have is Hard Boiled. Gotta go, guess its Deviled for breakfast
Pisco Sour
@shahnm
I still have a bottle of Pisco in my cabinet from a (years ago) trip to Peru. Time to break it out again i guess!
/image loco moco
Lay them.
what possessed the first person to eat an egg to do just that??? bar closing time??? a bad bet??? hmmmm…

Fried, on toast that’s covered in mashed avocado.
Yum.
On a hook catching real food

Are you even Texan — migas are not an option? (Y’all must be close to Oklahoma…
)
Soft boiled tysvm
In a really comfortable nest.

I like my eggs un-fertile, but if I want to make a clone I’ll make them fertile.
Still want the twin helicopters that I missed by a nanosecond.

@JnKL that sounds interesting and pretty tasty!

I feel like this has been asked before and basted wasn’t an option then either but it’s the right answer.
Shaken, not stirred
Delmonico!

Baked into something, or if you have to eat “eggs” then scrambled with enough cheese that you can’t taste the egg anymore.
I’m just gonna leave this here…
No one said Scotch Eggs?
/giphy Scotch Eggs
Ummm… Let’s try this…
/image Scotch Egg
@OnionSoup that’s better… Basically a boiled egg cooked in sausage meat and then deep fried.
@OnionSoup In Cajun country, they’re called “Armadillo Eggs”, and the sausage is cajun sausage or a chorizo mix if you’re west of Lake Charles.
@mike808 sounds a.good change to me
