    I put mine in the microwave for 1 minute & sometimes put it on a breakfast sandwich.

    Same here! I put 2 egg white in a tiny plate and put them in the microwave for about a minute. I often put a cheese slice on the top so it melt on it. It's delicious and healthy at the same time! =)

    I love poached eggs - one of my favourites!! I will eat eggs any way really, I usually boil a few in advance to keep me going through the busy weekday mornings.

    They are fairy simple to make (as long as you don't care if it isn't restaurant perfect) - Boil water with a bit of vinegar, once a rapid boil has started stir your water with a knife or spoon to create a 'whirpool' effect and drop in your egg (no shell) and turn off the heat immediately - the hot water will cook your egg in a few minutes ( about the time it takes you to make the toast). Just watch it to keep it from over cooking.

    Occasionally I have a hard-boiled egg in the morning. Otherwise, my favorite is over-easy or over-medium on toast :)

    Poached, hard-boiled, scrambled or fried!

    There is a pretty easy way to "poach" eggs in a microwave too (not actual poached eggs, but similar in texture).

    Spray small bowl or ramekin with small amount of Pam/cooking spray, gently pour/add 1 egg to bowl (to prevent breaking yolk/"scrambling").
    Cover bowl with paper towel and microwave for 30-45 secs.
    NOTE - I tend to cook it in about 20 second increments, to prevent it from cooking too fast and then getting exploded egg all over th microwave. Though it is not exactly the same consistency as a real poached egg, it is close and a quick/easy way to make them on a work day.

    WE make a Bistro Salad with a poached egg on top - using the eggs cooked in the microwave like this.

    I generally hard boil mine. I eat 4 a day so I hard boil and peel a weeks worth of eggs at a time. Peeling them is definitely a pain, but it saves me time in the mornings. I like scrambled eggs when I have more time to cook them.

    you peel them all at once? i thought about doing that but wasn't sure i should...

    I whip 16 eggs and pour them into a 9x11 baking dish (sprayed with olive oil). Then I dice up 4 slices (2 servings) of either dietz and watson low sodium turkey breast or low sodium bacon and sprinkle it in the eggs. Then I sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top. Bake at 250 for about 25-30 minutes (until eggs are firm and the top is browning a bit).

    About 198 calories and 18 grams of protein per serving. I cut the eggs into 8 pieces in the baking dish and I have 1 serving in the morning and my husband has 2. We have enough for breakfast for a couple of days.

    I prefer an omelet loaded with veggies, ham, and cheese!
    But most often, I boil them, peel them, and store them in the fridge so that I can grab one in a hurry. I am not a morning person and not very hungry in the mornings.

    This is brilliant! I'll have to try it.

    I love them all ways, but soft and warm yolks are my favorite so soft boiled or poached work for me! If you want to try poaching, try the silicone egg pods. They sit in the boiling water and the egg comes out just right!

    Omellete's are one of my favorites, but I still don't have cooking them down. My fiance makes them PERFECT, I am so jealous, because when I try to make one I end up messing it up and turning it into a scrambled egg.

    I would poach them if it didn't keep coming out like unseasoned egg drop soup! HAHA

    I usually scramble them. If I boil them, I just eat the yolks and toss the whites. Sometimes I make omelets. I don't like them fried.

    Baked, in 4" diameter silicone florentine pans that are the perfect diameter for the sandwich thins and bagel thins. They keep in the refrigerator for a week, and you can jazz them up with crumbled sausage, cheese, spinage or any other add-in you can imagine! Check my blog for a link to an online source.

    In a pan with some ham!!

    Poached eggs are awesome btw. Give that a go. I prefer mine over easy with some bread to mop up the yolkies.

    I poach them - but in a frying pan so they get the 'fried egg' shape and fit perfectly onto a lovely brown sandwich with grilled trimmed bacon! YUMYUMYUM!!

    hardboiled most of the time; scrambled occasionally, over easy when I eat out.
