After not eating eggs at home for some years, I start eating them again last week. I like mine fried in butter with salt and pepper. How do you like yours?

Fairly cheap source of protein, but how many eggs can one safely eat in day?

Sunny side up or scrambled soft or a french-style omelette. If you have brown on your omelette you are doing it wrong.

Fried. Between two slices of bread. With a slice of melted cheese. And lots of chilli sauce.

Preferably the morning after drinking a lot.

this thread seems familiar.

anyway, I like mine fried with the yolks broken and then over easy. I like them with fresh ground black pepper and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I use my cast iron pan for its no stick feature.

Wtf. Who doesn't like eggs period. It is super food.

1. Sunny side up or fluffy scrambled.

2. Asian style crispy fried is amazing too. Great texture.

Scrambled, French style, whisked in a pot until they start to thicken, make them creamier.

Cheese? Cumin? Oregano? Diced tomato?, Poblano peppers? Spinach? Onion? Cherizo? Diced bacon? Hot Italian sausage? Potatoes? whatever....

Best though is Feta cheese, diced shrimp, and pepper flakes.

Thread Title: Why likes fried eggs?

Nope. Why is a vegan. Who likes fried eggs, however. Plus, he's on first. Who's on first! Why isn't even on the damn team. No vegans allowed. Don't ask Why. Who knows.

I like sunny side up eggs with a runny middle for putting tons of black pepper on and dipping biscuits into. Unfortunately I'm violently allergic to eggs. Even an order of French toast will put me out of commission for a couple of days.

There is a restaurant in town that has a filet mignon eggs benedict with diced bacon. It is sublime.

I like them because they taste good. I also grind the shells for my cat to help make up for depleted calcium.

Hard-boiled, soft-boiled, fried, over easy, poached, scrambled, frambled, omelettes, frittatas. And raw.

The breakfast of champions is a mug of beer with a raw egg in it.

Beer is for bratwursts.

A fried egg in a bowl of tomato soup is quite tasty and brings up the protein content.

I eat 3-4 per day for breakfast usually 5 days per week. I like them fried in bacon fat. I usually cook one piece of bacon for breakfast just so I can cook the eggs in the grease.

Why likes fried eggs? Damned good are they...that’s why.

Poached eggs and soft-boiled eggs are nasty.

My doc has cut my consumption down to no more than 5 eggs per week... I told him, “WTF, doc...that’s just one morning’s breakfast...” He said something like, “well, I guess that could explain yourr cholesterol levels...” :oops:

The runny yolk is the best part of an egg - unless it's in egg salad or a breakfast sandwich (so it doesn't run out all over your hands only)

I'm not a doctor but I think in the past, doctors have overstated the relationship between cholesterol intake and cholesterol levels. Most of the cholesterol in out bodies comes from the liver, not from the food we eat.
