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:
