I love eggs, and am in need of some new ideas. So how do you eat them and what do you add if anything at all.

    boiled, hard boiled, scrambled, omelettes, fried, poached/steamed.... I LOVE eggs and eat at LEAST 2 a day...I have hard boiled eggs as standby snacks but only eat the white (hate hard boiled yolks) so at 16 calories per white they're a low cal, high protein super snack.

    Omelettes, add whatever you like

    Scrambled, a little cayenne pepper to spice them up - I think I'm addicted to cayenne pepper!

    hard boiled egg whites - love them with some heinz salad cream light

    I poach me eggs in boiling water and serve on toast with a sprinkle of soy sauce. I know it sounds yuk, but I love it. I think I like to soy sauce because I love vegemite and they are both quite salty.

    I like mine coddled with a tiny bit of grated cheese, or as Tunisian Shakshouka. Basically you make a stew of tomato, peppers and onion, add a bit of harissa to make it spicy, make a hollow in the mixture and poach an egg in it - delicious breakfast with a piece of crusty or flat bread. I make loads of the stew and freeze it in individual portions so I can have this whenever I fancy it :smile:

  • Boiled, scrambled... I love omelets!

    I actually have a tub of egg whites in my fridge. From time to time I'll mix it with juice or something and just drink it like that...

    Poached, served on really awesome sour dough or rye bread and topped with smoked salmon mmmmmmmmmmmmm
  • At the moment I like them with the yolk removed and then the egg whites scrambled as I am still starting out and want to really kickstart my new lifestyle as much as possible by reducing my fat intake right down.

    Usually though I like boiled egg and soldiers
  • OR

    in my opinion there is not much that is nicer than a slice of wholemeal bread with fish (I like smoked haddock) on top and a poached egg, yum!

    Mmmm... fried with cheese and bacon on an onion bagel!

    Or scrambled with American cheese melted on top and salsa on the side.

    Not necessarily the healthiest ways, but most likely the yummiest!
  • scrambled with a tiny bit of mixed herbs

    hard boiled mashed with a little bit of lite mayo on a Sammy:happy:

    This is a little boring, but fried egg (fried with pam) on top of whole wheat toast. Also omelet with spinach, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, cheese if you like. I also like an egg sandwich with turkey bacon on whole wheat bread.
  • I have moved to the Middle East, and meat is expensive, but eggs are plentiful, this is a Middle Eastern dish with lots of variations, but is different than anything I had tried before and is healthy, easily customised, cheap, easy to make and very healthy. I call it my "cleaning out the veggie drawer" meal.

    Egg (Arabic: شكشوكة‎; Hebrew: שקשוקה‎) (also shakshuka) is a dish from the Maghreb of Tunisian origins consisting of eggs cooked in a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices (often including cumin, turmeric, and chillies). The name shakshouka in Tamazight means "a mixture".

    The most common Maghrebi variant includes onions and tomatoes over eggs, which may be scrambled, poached, or fried. It is similar to the Turkish dish menemen, and the Mexican breakfast dish huevos rancheros.

    Shakshouka is now a staple of Tunisian, Libyan, Algerian, and Moroccan cuisines, and is also popular in Israel, where it was introduced by Tunisian Jews. It is now a breakfast staple.

    I like to make a dinner version with a layer of thinly sliced blanched potato, layers of chard, spinach, tomato, pepper, zuchinni or really any other veg than can stand 30 minutes in the oven or so, and lots of spicy tomato sauce. (extra chili flakes.) You just layer everything together sort of like a noodle-less veggie lasagna, and bake for 30 min at 180 or so in an ovenproof cassarole. I use a non-stick small loaf tin for a single seving. Then you take it out of the oven, break an egg or two carefully accross the top, (I like to add a smidge of grated parmesan) and then finish under the grill until the eggs are done to your liking.

    There are a ton of shakshouka recipies online too if you look, I originally started desperately looking for egg recipies because my friends had chickens that were giving so many eggs they didn't know what to do with them!

    Over easy, hard boiled, scrambled.. There isn't an egg I've met that I didn't like.

    Egg white omelet with salsa or spinach and tomato or peppers and onions, a spoonful of low fat cheese on low carb tortilla or mini pita.

    I am not a big fan of egg - but I do like the occasional portion of scrambled egg on wholemeal toast with lots of black pepper.

    I really don't like eggs, but I can eat them with sorrel in an omelette. Usually just the whites, though. I hate yolks!

    I saute mushrooms and chopped fresh spinach, add fresh sliced tomato, pour the eggs over. Top with a sprinkle of cheese and some bacon bits.

    I like eggs pretty much any which way they come but you can't beat a soft boiled egg sandwich with black pepper and tomato ketchup on a cold day (made with the egg still hot from the pan so the marge goes all melty.. yum).

    I get the frozen creamed spinach (birds eye) and beat a tablespoon in an egg, then cook it like an omelet with another tablespoon of shredded low fat cheese. Make a really fluffy, tasty omelet.

    Egg in a Hole -
    1 slice of whole wheat bread
    1 egg

    Fold bread slice in half, and take a bite of the center. Unfold the slice and you'll have a hole in the center of the slice. Toss this on a skillet that has been brought to medium heat. Crack open an egg, and pour it so that the yolk falls into the hole. Cook until the bread is toasted on the bottom and egg has solidified enough that you can flip. Flip over, and cook until bread is browned on the other side.

    Tadaa
