How do you like your eggs?

No worries, I can scroll quickly past the gross stuff
Forgot I do poached eggs a lot too. In the microwave. In fact, I've done them this way so often that I'm on my third microwave poacher doohickey.
This may form part of tomorrow night's supper...

Mostly, I like my eggs infrequent, or deeply hidden (like in baked goods). Maybe hard boiled, pickled, sure. Or deviled. Never, ever runny, soft, creamy, moist, or the like: If cooked, must be scrambled hard/dry, or even lightly browned.
Most people, for my preferences, screw up deviled eggs, too: They're not supposed to be filled with yellow salve. I prefer to use just barely enough of something (Greek yogurt, lately) to hold the smashed-up yolks together, so the texture is more fluffy than goopy.1 -
I really like the “just crack and egg” cups. I don’t make them in the microwave like it’s called for but I make a scam now with all the stuff. They have a lot of varieties but I like the one with bacon cheese and potatoes I add two eggs and scramble! Yum and not super calorie dense0

Eggs are a primary staple for me especially when life gets busy. I have them for dinner at least twice a week. I often make either scrambled or over easy with toast with butter and strawberry jam on it, and a glass of milk.
All-time favorite way to make eggs is in a ham and cheese omelet!!!!!! 10/10 could eat every meal of every day!!!!!!1 -
Not pickled and not raw - any other way works for me. If I am cooking them myself either sunny-side up or scrambled with meat and/or veg is the way that I usually do it.
My better half is not a fan but does like eggs and chorizo served as tacos.0 -
But eating them alone................scrambled with ketchup.
Not bad. Here on the West Coast it would be w/salsa, but about the same.
I have a "Horrible for the plant", non-stick pan. A small one. I put a dab of fat (butter, olive oil, grease, whatever) and slowly fry two eggs. I do a in-air flip, and lightly cook the other side for a few seconds.
I don't use that pan for anything else. It is a single purpose tool.
I can't deal with any over cooking, rubbery, browned bits. Just cooked enough to coagulate. Some salt and pepper.. et viola!

Funny you say that. I've hired a lot of cooks and chefs throughout my career and the quick and easy is, if they aren't going to stage for a few days to get a feel for how a person cooks, understands food in general, hygiene, personality traits, food theory, that kind of thing, I'll get them to cook as part of the interview. I have quite a few testers that I use but in the context for this subject, eggs, I'll get them to make an omelet and a hollandaise sauce and I've used this for decades and it generally separates the cooks from the shoemakers, but I do keep it in context for the position I'm hiring them for as well.

Anyone ever try to drink a cup of raw eggs? I've done it a few times. 6 was the most.

The Rambo influence.
Not sure if anyone knows this but raw egg whites are only about 50% bioavailable as opposed to pretty much all the white when cooked. Basically only half the available protein. Cheers1 -

Right lol, I meant to write Rocky, great movie and a great move on a personal level for Stallone, it made his career.1 -
Just made eggs in purgatory for breakfast (and cheese grits).
I drink eggnog made with raw eggs.0 -

Not at all. Even in small amounts eggs are massive reflux triggers for me, both the egg white and the yolk. No idea why.0

Well thank you for a super argument for not eating undercooked eggs. "I'm not picky, I'm just maximizing my protein"

But then there's eggnog. (and no...I don't cook it)1

I do put a raw egg yolk on top of my carbonara too. Egg yolk in ceasar dressing. Raw eggs in cookie dough. the list goes on1

Any which way but fried!
Poached, boiled, omelette, quiche, shakshuka, poached on top of a huge salad, scrambled…the only way I cannot eat eggs is fried. Totally gross!
I don’t like very runny yolks, can eat them jammy or fully cooked, but keep those greasy fried or slimy runny yolks to yourselves!
Also, as an English person, whilst I understand the concepts of over easy etc…I have to ask ‘why’? That’s just weird! 😂0 -
I love all types of eggs. Hard boiled is easy for work snack..
Favs - Esp frittata and in Shakshuka. I grew up on sunny side up eggs 🍳
Also love them in homemade mayo and creme brûlée. 🪺

The 2006 Joy of Cooking has a fun section on omelets. I combined a few concepts and made one with sautéed apples, apple brandy, cheese, and bacon.
Interestingly, the rolled omelet I made last week did not break as I rolled it. The folded omelet, which included 10 g of half and half, did rip when I folded it. I don't know if that was folded vs rolled, or the H&H.1 -

Yep, poach an egg or two in a pot of boiling water and cook the ramen with a handful of shelled edamame. Drain and pour the little soy sauce packet over the top and you've made dinner in about 7 minutes. Bonus points for chili crisp stirred in too.2
