    I like my eggs any which way....but I did try them scrambled with a little cottage cheese in the other day, and that was surprisingly ok!

    I mostly love them poached though, on wholemeal toast.

    Eggs have cholesterol but it's good cholesterol. Very digestible, it doesn't just clog your arteries.

    I eat mine pan fried in a little butter over easy. Great on top of pulled pork, rice, or toast.

    1 scrambled on an english muffin with a piece of cheese or else a 4 egg white omlete with tomatoes, green peppers, laughing cow cheese, spinach and celery. Sometimes I add ham to both.

    sunny side up (medium) with a slice of cheese on top of a slice of toast! (pre- healthier lifestyle)

    now: hardboiled :) hot, cold, in salad, with toast. Doesn't matter!

    I like a whole egg and an egg white, made flat in a small pan so I can flip it over into an "omelette." I saute fresh spinach just using the heat, then pour the eggs over the spinach, cook it on both sides, then put some sort of cheese on one side and flip it over to melt the cheese. I usually toast one piece of bread and have the eggs on the toast. YUM.

    I used to like them scrambled or fried or as an omelette...but now that I see 2 whole eggs = about 300g of Cholesterol I only eat boiled eggs without the yolk.

    You can have scrambled eggs! Ellie Krieger taught me that it's okay to have seven whole eggs every week, and since I can't eat just one egg, I adopted her method of pairing a whole egg with an egg white. You really don't notice the missing second yolk.

    I've never tried that. Thanks, that'll be something I'll try when I go home :)

    Normally a 3 egg omelet would be my favorite, but I just made my first frittata today and I think that might be my favorite way.

    Sauteed green peppers, red peppers, onion, green onion, mushrooms and a few bacon bits. Then poured 2 beaten whole eggs and 1 egg white into the pan, sprinkled on some cheese and put it in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes until it was set. Super tastey and I ended up only eating half because it was so filling. So it ends up being half the calories and way more nutritious than my regular omelet.

    Happy to eat a hard boiled egg ( Right now it's just a weekly treat for me - as I have high cholesterol) but love scrambled, fried and omlettes. Also love the indian way called Anda ( which is egg) Bhurji.

    I like eggs just about anyway except with peppers or salsa. Peppers hate me.LOL One quick way without added fat is microwave 2 eggs for about 30 sec. check, scramble, add cheese if you are so inclined and then microwave until your consistency is reached. It may take a few checks because it might get rubbery if cooked too long. I put it in an Arnold's sandwich thin. I don't like my eggs done"hard". I don't need any butter for the bread or for the cooking.

    I like them scrambled and still a bit wet/"squishy". I might sprinkle them with a bit of cheese and use them as toppings on vegetable crackers.

    Oops! Scrramble before you microwave the first time too.

    I have done this at work before because we don't have a stove. You don't have to scramble the egg if you don't want to. Just make sure you cover it because it will pop a lot while it cooks. If you don't scramble it, it is like a hard fried egg. If you put it on an english muffin, it's like an egg mcmuffin from mcdonalds lol

    I could eat eggs every day, and usually do! Haha

    Here are a couple of my favorite ways to cook em up:

    Scrambled (1 whole, or two whites):
    I mix in veggies (usually just onions. Sometimes mushrooms)
    Throw some cheese in there
    Add a tbsp of canola mayo on a small tortilla, and roll it into a breakfast burrito
    Comes out to 333cal

    Omelette (1 whole + 2 whites)
    I usually add loads of veggies;
    zucchini, onions, mushrooms, green peppers
    Sautée them up, add the eggs after
    toss a tiny bit of Parmesan or Swiss cheese on top once it's flipped.
    229cal

    I was addicted to these breakfast sandwiches for awhile:
    Toasted sourdough english muffin
    A tbsp of canola mayo
    1 fried egg white - I add black pepper and red pepper flakes
    Half a slice of Swiss cheese
    A slice of tomato
    + two slices of Oscar Mayer black forest ham. (the thin slices)
    236cal

    My new favorite is a sunny side up egg on a tosted english muffin. I sautée some crimini mushrooms and onions, and add some shredded cheese, and throw it in. Only 228cal. If you like runny eggs, it's delish! Messy, but drool worthy.

    Sorry for the long post, with extra details. Just excited. I'm a huge egg fan. :]

    Omelette, sunny side up or boiled. Cannot stand scrambled.
