    I'm an over-easy kinda gal. But my guy makes killer scrambled eggs. First he cuts up Peppered Sausage and then cooks it for a bit, adds in the eggs and scrambles them in the pan, mixing with the sausage. Adds a slice of Smoked Gouda Cheese. It's the closest to heaven tasting (and probable even better because he made it!! I have it once a week and love it!!!

    Generelly I have 2 medium eggs each time I decide to have egg as the basic ingredient of my lunch or dinner. I usually cook them :

    1. Plain omelet.
    2. Plain omelet +chilli sauce + feta cheese
    3. Scrambled + tomato +onion +green pepper + feta cheese
    4. Poached +olive oil + lemon + pepper+bread
    5. Fried +lemon +pepper +bread
    6. Hard boiled + pepper +salt

    and the ultimate
    Uncooked the yolk well mixed with 2 tsp of sugar /sweetener + half tsp of chocolate/cocoa powder. I make this one only with fresh eggs by my father's hens and after I sterilize them externally before opening the egg. I have been used to eat it since I was a child... and it is AMAZING! I've never been sick from an egg, but let me note that I NEVER buy eggs.

    Over easy with a sprinkling of Mrs. Dash and lots of pepper.

    Question for those of you who only use the egg whites; what do you do with the yolks? As a single mom, I hate to see food being wasted.

    I resolve to the fact that I throw the shells away because they're not good for me to eat (although I'm sure they're edible in some form), so I treat the yolks no different than the shell now. And since I looked at them that way, I've not had many regrets about tossing them.

    I do eat whole eggs here and there, and I randomly give my yolks to the dogs.

    Understandable. Egg yolks are very healthy for dogs and I never cook eggs for myself without scrambling some up for the dogs.

    @Roxy: those are my favorite type of eggs! ;)

    2 eggs scrambled with a little pico de gallo and a little cheese or mexican sour cream (depends on how I feel that day) in a whole wheat homemade flour tortilla.

    4 eggs a day with spinach, bacon and cheese in a scramble.

    The fat in eggs is not be passed up for me, eggs are a perfect food to be enjoyed whole.

    The cholesterol content is only an issue if:

    1) You think that dietary intake of cholesterol will significantly raise it in the blood. Bear in mind our body makes a considerable amount of cholesterol and it's essential to well-being.

    2) 'High' cholesterol in the blood is a solid marker for cardiovascular disease.

    In my world both of these hypotheses are bogus.

    A pretty good summation based in science and not a vague hypothesis: http://thesmarterscienceofslim.com/its-not-about-lowering-cholesterol/#more-3901

    I've always liked them over easy with toast to soak up the yolk. Sometimes scrambled with cheese is good for a change.

    Thoroughly cooked ONLY. Getting a squigee egg will put me off of them for weeks. I have been doing an inside out omelette thing lately. Thinly sliced Boars Head ham in a pan, pour two scrambled eggs on top and a little Shallot Pepper from Penzeys. I cook it with a lid until it's almost done, then add a little cheese in the middle and fold it up like an omelette. Really good and about 250 calories.

    Two eggs, over medium, cooked in a bit of coconut oil. Whole wheat toast or sourdough on the side. Mmmm!

    Up and runny. If possible, crispy on the bottom at the same time, but that takes a skilled breakfast cook to pull off.

    The incredible edible egg!

    How about 1/2 cup dirty rice or whole grain brown rice, one egg, 2 tablespoons salsa verde? I love to to this with leftover rice.

    Poached egg on a slice of crusty italian bread, with 2 tablespoons tomato bruschetta.

    1 fried egg, chunky hominy (best grits ever, use the food processor and pulse), 1-2 turkey sausages

    Poached egg, a cup of asparagus, a touch of hollandaise sauce or mayonnaise, toast (Italian)

    1 fried egg, toast, half a red tomato sliced and cooked until caramelized in butter, this is really yum

    eggs benedict made with a milky sauce that is thickened with cornstarch instead of a roux., on English muffin. Canadian bacon is low in calories

    Oeufs a la russe - combined mixed vegetables with mayonnaise and place on a bed of lettuce. Top with a deviled egg. Blanket egg also with a creamy dressing. Add capers, anchovy or salmon. Very filling lunch salad!

    I usually do not eat more than one egg a day because it is too easy to exceed cholesterol that way.

    Fat free cream cheese is excellent in omelettes! And a great source of calcium!

    I eat a hard boiled egg in my grilled chicken salad just about every day through the week for lunch or as a snack. Lots of good ideas here I'd like to try!

    Deviled eggs are my favorite! Mostly mustard, a little light mayo, garlic powder, onion powder and sprinkled with paprika. Delicious!
