@Mehrocco_Mole All through high school, I lived on a farm and had chickens. I didn’t realize how good we had it until I had to go back to store-bought eggs.
@Mehrocco_Mole hated “plain” eggs for a long time until i lived with someone whose parents have a farm and he brought back farm fresh eggs. mind blown. to this day it’s one of the few things i spend extra $$$ on at the store because i truly can taste the difference. (even the pricey storebought eggs aren’t AS good as the straight off the farm ones but they’re pretty close, and miles away from the generic store brand.)
Fried. But no one ever seems to know what that means. Every waitress I’ve encountered ever has looked at me like I ordered a hairball when I say fried egg. Like the kind you’d put in a sandwich. So I end up with scrambled, because it’s a word they know. And they’re always Snoggy. No matter how many times I say “well done, no snot.” Ewww. Just order pancakes.
@katbyter@unksol here in California, they are known as “sauteed”. Really!
Well, in some places. You can get real fried eggs (sunny side up, broken yolk, over easy, over hard, lidded) just up the road at Alice’s.
@katbyter i’m with you… after much trying to describe what i wanted, one waiter finally said “oh, you want it ‘over hard’ then”. Since then that’s what i say and everyone seems to get it. It only took me about 10 years. Try that next time.
@MarkDaSpark When I do it at home, I fry the eggs in the bacon grease, and instead of flipping the egg, I use the spatula to splash the grease onto the egg. It cooks the top of the egg quite nicely.
Works with butter too, but you have to use a lot of butter. Then you paint the melted butter on your toast or muffin.
@MarkDaSpark It isn’t really that hard to flip an egg… Just get a thin spatula and use a big enough pan. Basting seems like more work - boiling water, finding a lid, timing it right… Just flip the damn egg, I say!
@shahnm. “I” do it that way at home, but when I order it out, they can never (never!) get it right! It’s either undercooked or overcooked when I order it Over Medium.
@stolicat. I was wondering about the “lidded” one!
I think the water is to help it evenly cook. I can easily make Over Medium at home just right. I only order them basted when eating out. Should have stated that!
@jester747 Seriously though, my daughter makes some type of Japanese omelette in a small square pan where she cooks a thin layer then rolls it onto itself adding more egg to the pan behind it, all the while adding fillings and things… oh my, is that stuff good! She also does French scrambled which I like a lot too.
Scrambled, with everything in them. Well, peppers, onions, garlic, cracked black pepper, ‘shrooms, Penzy spices, ham chunks or bacon. Covered with melted cheese and wrapped in a jalapeño wrap like a burrito.
I thought I hated scrambled eggs. Turns out, I hate bad scrambled eggs. Once I had creamy, delicious scrambled eggs instead of rubbery, chewy terrible scrambled eggs they are my favorite.
@therealjrn idk what a parrots dietary requirements are but sounds like @Felton10 takes excellent care of his.
Not so much the poacher which I assume is a joke. Chickens can get in the habit of eating raw eggs. If you don’t get to them fast enough. So. You know. Birds are ravenous dinosaurs. Some are just cute/manageable
@therealjrn@unksol He loves the yoke-not so much the white part. But with a few exceptions (avacodo being the major one), he can eat most anything (and does). Some birds can’t but the vet said it was ok and his weight is checked during his yearly checkup and he is not overweight. He particularly likes hardshell blue crab claws. He also has somewhat of a sweet tooth for any dessert with a fruit filling. So not too bad being a bird in our house. Only problem is that we got him when we were 50 and who looks ahead or thought ahead to about the bird living 40 to 60 years. Luckily my son said he would take him.
Omlet
All in one basket.
Sunny side up served with grits.
Cooked
In a cake
Grown into chicken wings.
I don’t.
Over medium!
@tkaos me too! Over medium for the win!
As long as they aren’t rotten or raw, I’m good. And ten years ago, raw wasn’t even a problem.
Fresh from the chicken coop. Their flavor is so intense compared to supermarket eggs.

@katbyter where do you live? Fry = fat. Egg =egg not hard concept for any diner waitress. Other than California.

@katbyter Has to be a regional thing. Saying “fried hard” has never caused any confusion for me.
@katbyter @stolicat @unksol
@DrWorm same. interesting. (new england born & bred. RI/boston.)
@Occasionally one of my favorite songs. it’s not thanksgiving without alice’s restaurant.
@DrWorm @katbyter I’ve never heard “fried hard” egg but it’s pretty much common sense. Id know what you wanted
@katbyter i’m with you… after much trying to describe what i wanted, one waiter finally said “oh, you want it ‘over hard’ then”. Since then that’s what i say and everyone seems to get it. It only took me about 10 years. Try that next time.
Poached. Like my ass.
@UncleVinny
Cooked. I like them actually cooked. Runny yolks they be gross
Fried egg:
Depends on the accompaniment; sunny side up with grits, over easy with hash browns, scrambled with fruit, and hard boiled with pancakes.
Over medium on top of a crispy hash brown.
Cholula on the side.
@2many2no. Try it with Basted eggs (link below in my post)!
I used to order OM, but it never was consistent. Over easy was way undercooked most times as well.

Works with butter too, but you have to use a lot of butter. Then you paint the melted butter on your toast or muffin.
@2many2no @MarkDaSpark but then you wouldn’t have bacon. So.
@2many2no
Over easy, double smothered well.
Deviled
Basted! Better than Over anything (easy, medium, or hard) and Poached combined!
Over hash browns, with Bacon or Sausage or Ham (or any combination! ), and Cholula. Nom, nom, nom!
🥰
BastedEggs
@MarkDaSpark Agreed - this is the “lidded” I mentioned above - usually don’t add the water, though, but I’ll try that this weekend.
Use a clear lid so you can see the yolk setting and catch it at whatever point you desire.
@MarkDaSpark It isn’t really that hard to flip an egg… Just get a thin spatula and use a big enough pan. Basting seems like more work - boiling water, finding a lid, timing it right… Just flip the damn egg, I say!
@shahnm. “I” do it that way at home, but when I order it out, they can never (never!) get it right! It’s either undercooked or overcooked when I order it Over Medium.
Ordering it Basted seems to correct that problem.
@stolicat. I was wondering about the “lidded” one!
I think the water is to help it evenly cook. I can easily make Over Medium at home just right. I only order them basted when eating out. Should have stated that!
Primarily over medium but sometimes boiled with the yolk just slightly creamy in the middle. That’s really nice with salt and pepper.
Cadbury’d

I don’t bc I don’t eat em.
@star2236 I think that’s backward.
Soft boiled
Sous vide!
@rustyh3 Ditto!
On my plate… Prep method is a minor detail…
@cinoclav we always called those “bird nesters” kinda sick if you think about it.
@cinoclav
/youtube Moonstruck egg
I voted poached, but I should’ve said other… I prefer soft boiled over anything
Scrambled, with everything in them. Well, peppers, onions, garlic, cracked black pepper, ‘shrooms, Penzy spices, ham chunks or bacon. Covered with melted cheese and wrapped in a jalapeño wrap like a burrito.
over hard, break the yolks and cook them solid.
I like my eggs unfertilized
On your plate, not mine.
hard boiled or cooked all the way through
I thought I hated scrambled eggs. Turns out, I hate bad scrambled eggs. Once I had creamy, delicious scrambled eggs instead of rubbery, chewy terrible scrambled eggs they are my favorite.
Under the chicken, hatching, where they belong.
@storywell so they can make more eggs for my breakfast!!! nom nom nom
Scrambled but with a little cheese in them. It is so good. Not cheesy. It is like good scrambled eggs.
over medium. (fried in butter, flipped once. hard whites & covered runny yolk.)
those are my favorite but i do also like pretty much every other version of egg with the exception of hard fried and anything with a runny white.
I Woot my eggs
/youtube Easy Like Sunday Morning
basted
Basted of course and I feel like we’ve had this question before.
Over medium for me! That way, the yolks mix nicely with the hash browns.
Poached. As in, from endangered and protected species of birds.
@moosetoga You should get together with the guy that feeds his bird fried eggs…
@moosetoga rescuers down under are coming for you

Yes.
Over medium or poached in a bowl of ramen. Ohhh, yeah…
