Depending on what I'm eating with it, I'll choose. Like with longanisa and rice, over easy.

But eating them alone................scrambled with ketchup.

    Where to begin, probably the most versatile food on the planet. Quiche, shakshuka, eggs ranchero, omelet, frittata, over easy, sunny side up, hard boiled, egg salad, scrambled, hollandaise, eggs benedict, deviled eggs, strata's, pickled. I'll stop now.

    Eggs are one of the few things I’ll turn on the stove for! My go-tos are poached, fried, and scrambled. It helps that all of the pans required for eggs can go in the dishwasher 😎

    I like my eggs in pancakes, cakes, breads, and other baked goods.

    I’ve never liked eggs as a dish. The texture, the taste, the sulphur smell- doesn’t matter how they’re cooked.

    Meringues are the only way you’ll catch me eating an egg. 😁

    I only eat eggs about once per month, always scrambled. Once a year at Easter I have hard boiled.

    I love them all. Except pickled. Hard pass.

    Mmmmm eggs. These days hardboiled but I used to like them scrambled with ketchup or with sugar free maple syrup on top.

    There was a point where I was maple syruping like 3 food items in one night so moved to ketchup for the eggs :)

    Also, over easy...sunny side up. Just give me yolk!

    Okay, Brit here. Can someone explain what the “over easy sunny side up” means? Is that a fried egg with cooked whites and runny yolk? I’ve always wondered!

    yep and also not flipped over, that's called over easy.

    I don’t like them on their own. I do use them in recipes. If I eat one by itself, it must be hard however it’s cooked.

    Well done. I can't stand eating anything snot-textured so they have to be thoroughly cooked. If I'm eating out I usually order scrambled to be safe. At home I do over easy. I don't put ketchup or salt on eggs.

    In my dotage I've also gotten weird about food mixing so I definitely don't want those yolks running into anything else. If I'm having pancakes or the like with eggs I CANNOT get maple syrup on my eggs because sweet eggs are just bizarre and gross.

    Very snotty sunny side ups ! The whites half way cooked and yolks completely runny. Served with salt flakes and toast. :yum:

    I don’t like the thought of ketchup or syrup on eggs! I guess I have a wild imagination as it really grosses me out. I can’t look at it without feeling queasy 🙁

    @ythannah and @Melwillbehealthy

    I'm sorry I grossed the two of you out with maple syruppy goodness. :p

    Now I just use it on oatmeal and when I make the 1/2 balsamic vinegar 1/2 sugar free maple syrup salad dressing (I need a better tasting balsamic vinegar tho.)

    I think it would be easier for me to answer how I didn't like eggs. And even then I'm having a hard time thinking of a style of egg I didn't like. I love eggs!

    Love me some scrambled eggs on half-&-half toast. Also some of my favourite recipes are a fried egg on top of a halloumi burger with lettuce and tomato puree (I hate ketchup don't @ me) or on a thin with some high protein cheese.

    I also have this cute mini frying pan the perfect size for frying an egg perfectly to fit on a bagel or something. £5 from Tesco - definitely worth it.

    Eggs Diablo here. Leftover chili dressed up, eggs poached in the middle. So quick, easy, and good. Been having a craving for deviled eggs lately.

    I just put boursin on my shopping list! This might be dinner tomorrow night. I'd planned to consult with my partner about whether the potato chips are necessary, but these articles think they are a great addition:

    Last night we had eggs poached in Mama Woo's Minced Beef and Rice Bowls, and for lunch today, since there was leftover rice and beef, I microwaved that and fried another egg.

    "over easy sunny side up" means you're talking to somebody who doesn't know what egg cooking terms mean. It's an oxymoron. Over easy means they've been flipped and cooked for just a little bit after flipping, so there's a thin pinky-white film over the still-runny yolks. Sunny side up means they haven't been flipped, and you're looking at the bright yellow still-runny yolk. It can't be both over easy and sunny side up.

    No. It means the person who originally typed it used elipsis to convey what was in their head because they tend to type the way they think.

    Sorry for the confusion, @claireychn074 :)

    Multiple ways but my favorite has to be in loaded hashbrowns. Cook up some hashbrowns, add in whatever veggies you want, then crack in a couple eggs and scramble it all together. Top that with some ketchup and Siracha or other hot sauce.

    That may be my lunches for next week now haha.

    I made this tonight!

    I think it was the fastest meal I've ever prepared for the two of us. All the little supermarket near me had in the way of boursin was the bites, but that allowed me to skip the piping step and just place them on.

    I've loved boursin in other dishes, but the flavor was a little intense for an omelet. While I plan to put this in the rotation and think it will grow on us, I'm curious if cream cheese with chives would be less pungent.

    Sorry -- I didn't realize that was a quote from earlier in the thread -- thought it was just a question from their own life, since they said "I've always wondered."

    I have always wondered what the US cooking terms mean but I just quoted someone who had said it earlier on, and thought I’d grasp the opportunity! 😀 in the UK we just have - fried eggs. That’s it. They’re all cooked the same way. All with a. Cooked white and runny yolk. Same for poached eggs or soft boiled - whites firm but yolk runny.
