    Fried over medium is yummy (white is solid, yoke in still runny). Best with toast!

    French toast - scramble 2 medium eggs with a bit of milk and about 1/4 tsp vanilla, dip bread in the eggs, and cook in the skillet. Doesn't take long, and you can have them with fruit instead of syrup (or with jam, honey, powdered sugar, whatever)

    Not a breakfast necessarily, but I like to poach an egg in the pot as I'm cooking Ramen (I don't have it often). If you drop it in right after putting the noodles in, it's perfect when the noodles are done. Adds protein and nutrients :wink:

    Or you can just try poaching the egg by itself, bring the water to a boil, drop the eggs in and cook for 3-4 minutes.

    In for fritattas. My new egg fave is a poached egg on an toasted english muffin (or toast) with a slice of cheese and side of tomatoes.

    I'm the strange one here... I cook southern style hash browns 1/2 cup that have the peppers and onions in them,using my smallest frypan . When they get crispy, I throw in a beaten egg and I slice of cheese, turn down the heat, put a lid on and check when the egg is set and cheese is melted. So it has a crisp bottom and eggy, cheesy top. Sometimes I also add sliced mushrooms when browning the hash browns. I eat mine plain, but my family adds hot sauce or salsa. Trust me , this takes you way past lunch.. Hope you like this

    After reading this I am disappointed that I've already had my egg this AM. Will definitely be doing this sometime this week!

    1 - Hard boil them and add to tuna or chicken salad
    2 - Hard boiled and plain as a snack
    3 - Raw egg whites or egg white powder to smoothies and protein shakes
    4 - Meringue cookies
    5 - Egg custard with egg yolks (although it's pretty calorie-dense)
    6 - Add to casseroles to thicken
    7 - Quiche
    8 - Deviled eggs

    Omelettes! Now that I've learned how to do them I make them all the time. I throw whatever I want into it. My omelettes are made with two egg whites and 1 large egg

    My boyfriend's dad has given us a ton of venison sausage, so I've been doing omelettes for dinner. Super yum with sausage, bell peppers, mushrooms, cheese and salsa. I also like quiches, but I've never actually attempted to make one on my own.

    I usually saute onions, peppers, mushrooms, and asparagus, then add egg whites with chopped spinach. I only season with oregano, pepper and cayenne pepper. I think I will use sriracha sauce next time. Makes for a delicious omlette. You can add cheese if you like.

    I second egg muffins! I do a mixture off egg whites with a few whole and place them and whatever toppings I want into a lined cupcake pan on Sunday. I make 12 and put place in the fridge and eat randomly through the week. My favorite combo is spinach and bacon.

    Thanks :) Yum! I :heart: chile rellenos! Seriously, I ask for my mom's chile relleno casserole instead of a bday cake. I'd probably leave out the corn, though. Seems odd in a chile relleno. Have you tried this?

    Hey, I guess I'm a chicken lady... ha ha we have 4 chickens and and old one that doesn't lay any more. We always have more than we can eat. My daughter hates eggs, even the smell of them. The rest of us eat them and we give them to friends and family when we have extra. Watch for them for sale when you're out for a drive in the country or at a farmers market. The yolks are so dark and taste so good.

    I do this with corned beef hash. It's awesome.
