I checked the numbers on my eggs to be sure, but then they are also from in-state farms so I didn't really worry about it.

Poached egg with lime hollandaise sauce over filet mignon on a toasted english muffin topped with grilled asparagus.

Do you get to go outside? I mean, what with the west nile virus an all...

Fail poll. I always get Over Medium. It shows if a chef can really fry an egg or not.

 

[Lamont Burns]

I blend 3-4 raw every morning with milk, hershey's syrup and olive oil.

Over medium for me as well.

I had eggs basically every day during that 'threat,' sounds like you need to man the fuck up and not let your wife run your life.

I've got fried eggs down to a science. Perfect whites, not crispy. Key is to cook then using a medium to high smoke point oil (not olive) over medium heat tops.

Poached eggs are good too. Instead of using water, I steam them for 10min using my electric steamer. On an English muffin with either bacon or porschutto. Sometimes I'll do the hollandaise sauce if I have time. Otherwise its just a bit of melted butter or margarine.

Making me hungry. Might make some eggs for brunch.

If I want fried eggs, I'll usually do over medium.

If I want scrambled, well I never order scrambled eggs because I've not found one restaurant that will make them the way I want.

Not like it's hard. Crack eggs into hot greased pan, let them cook til you would flip them, then quickly scramble in the pan, cook maybe 10-15 seconds longer until it just starts firm the yolk and serve. Should be slightly runny with small curd. Learned it from my dad who always called it scrambled eggs over easy.

Poached eggs are my favorite, left in just long enough for the yolk to start to thicken but not harden. You have about a minute or so window to pull them, and I often screw it up - try to err on the runny side.

It's funny because I hated eggs for most of my life. Just couldn't stomach the taste. On a whim, I tried some non-factory farmed eggs and started liking them. Less of that off-putting sulfur taste, which is also reduced by not overcooking.

Yeah, you won't find them in restaurants that way, because "proper" scrambled eggs are fluffy with a larger curd. You generally beat them before putting them over the heat, incorporate some air, and then cook over a lower flame while folding them. I'm not saying your style is wrong - that's entirely subjective, as food is about eating what you like. I'm just saying your technique isn't something you'll see in many kitchens. If you were to go to a diner or something, I'm willing to bet they'd cook them with your method if you asked/explained. Eggs are really a matter of taste.
