Over easy, and served on a bed of sauteed kale or swiss chard. Or a steamed egg over a bed of arugula.

(Steamed egg = hard boiled egg, but super easy to peel. Especially when using fresh eggs. 22 minutes to steam, and no craters when you peel!)

Shut the front door! Are they really easier to peel?! Im going to try it!

I agree that you should never boil eggs. I don't get any craters either but what I do is bring the eggs to room temperature, put them in a pan and cover with cold water until it is 1" above the eggs, cover the pan, bring to a boil, take off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes, then plunge into cold water. The trick is to crack both ends of the egg before cooling it, then crack and peel like normal. The shell slips right off.

Like steam, the gentler heat of not boiling eggs makes them taste better, peel easier, and the whites don't get rubbery.

Poached or over easy. I love me a runny egg yolk.

Poached! Learned to do it a couple weeks ago and have one every chance I get. Put it on a piece of toast with a bit of butter and coarse sea salt, slice into the yolk so it slowly oozes out onto the bread as I eat. Noooom. It's my go-to 'oops I didn't eat enough calories today and it's too late to get ice cream'

I like eggs all ways!

I do use a little milk when making scrambled eggs or omelets. I find that it helps them stay fluffy. Also, always cooked in butter!

All the ways, but the best way to use up a dozen is chocolate mousse.

Lemon meringue pie will use up 4-6 extra (yolk in the filling and whites for the meringue)

CRISPY EGGS

I fry mine 95% of the time. Sometimes I make boiled eggs for snacks, and I rarely ever make scrambled eggs, but if I do milk and cheese is a must. I hate scrambled eggs that don't have milk in them.

Thinking about it, I haven't fried an egg for ages. I need to get back on it

try any of the recipes you find when you look up shakshuka. Bottom line you heat a can of diced tomatoes with whatever spice or veggie you like in a fry pan and then crack an egg into the mixture and top with a lid until egg reaches the doneness you like. I make it all the way from Mexican to Italian with the spices.

Poached medium drag cracked pepper and light kosher salt with whole wheat toast lightly buttered with smart balance with 2 strips turkey bacon.

I will do have to try that! I love avocados! Would you send me how to do it so it is not over cooked please

lemurcat12

In an omelet with lots of veggies, feta, sometimes some meat too. Of course with the yolks, I don't add milk.

I second that choice.

Scrambled eggs with some seasoning and a dash of Tabasco through it.....magic

If you are in a rush raw is always an option. I do it most mornings.

BklynFitGuy

All of these options sound delicious. How are the calories and macros? I'm always afraid to blow too many calories in the morning.

I have no idea how to poach eggs, or make them over easy, which is why I just fry them, lol.

rand486

Fry up some garlic and onion, scramble in the eggs, then just before they're done, throw in chopped up spinach & feta, along with pepper and maybe some italian seasoning.

Too good!

I prefer to stand and watch while the cafeteria chef cooks mine.

Or sit at a table while the guy in the back makes them into an omelet and someone else brings them to my table with hash browns and coffee.

Fried in a little bacon grease. I'm "old school" and always have a small container of bacon grease in the fridge for eggs and/or cauliflower, cabbage, asparagus, green beans, etc.

Sercee

Basted or poached soft with whole grain toast, in a Benny, or baked in avocado!

hikezilla

Fried, over easy, salt and pepper....with hard dry rye toast.

DeliVibes

I love eggs!
Scrambled with tomatoes and onion for a savory snack or make a pancaked mixed with a banana for a sweet snack.

HipsterWhovian

Two whole eggs scrambled with butter, then a Laughing Cow. Served on toast with fried bacon and ketchup.
I cook my eggs the Gordon Ramsay way

dbmata

Water bath.

Crack an egg into a small bowl. Fill a small pot with water, bring to gentle boil, turn down to low and stir the heck out of it. While it's still rolling, drop the egg into the middle of the 'whirl pool' (the whites will go flying crazy all over the place, but don't worry -- they'll gather in on themselves and make a little coat for the yolk). Cook three to four minutes. Remove from water with slotted spoon and gently drop on whatever you're eating with it.

(figured this out after researching lots of different ways to do it. Turned out KISS was best! No vinegar, no 'super-fresh' eggs, no bags or special cups or anything)
