How do You Like Your Eggs?

A nice omelet with scallions and cheddar cheese hits the spot.

Boiled. I used to like scrambled and fried, but now any style other than boiled tends to make me sick. Not sure why; they just don't agree with me. Don't like egg salad and never liked poached - yuk.

You reminded me I also like scrambled, and like you, poached makes me barf to even think of.
 
Like 'em any way. One of my faves is; Cut a hole in the center of a slice of bread with a round cookie cutter. Butter it including the round piece you cut out.
Then put it on a buttered griddle and break a raw egg and dump it in the hole. Flip it over to do the other side. Little salt & pepper helps. Serve with bacon, sausage, ham
whatever. If you don't believe me, watch that movie "Moonstruck". That's where I got the idea.

Yes, I remember Cher's mother (Olympia Dukakis) cooked breakfast that way. At the time my stomach could tolerate fried eggs; I tried it and liked it.

Thanks AC; Couldn't remember Olympia's name. Thanks for helping me out on this.

Glad SOMEBODY remembered the movie.

That ("Moonstruck") was a good movie.....1987....Cher won an Oscar (but I wanted Glenn Close to win for "Fatal Attraction")

Watch out....I am a movie/TV trivia DEMON! ;)



(okay, bragging over...back to EGGS)

What do you do with the middle part you cut out of the bread, that's what I want to know.
 
I like them hard boiled, in egg salad, sliced up in green salad or potato salad or deviled. I also like them scrambled or in an omelet or quiche. I don't much care for runny yolks. Ick.

Falcon.....We call that slice of bread and an egg process a "toad in a hole".
 
I like eggs scrambled, in omelets, hard boiled and sliced with potato salad and egg sandwiches
but I cannot eat a poached egg because the yolk is runny and not fully cooked. :(

3. Eggs Are Loaded With Choline, an Important Nutrient For The Brain

Choline is a lesser-known nutrient that is often grouped with the B-complex vitamins.

Choline is an essential nutrient for human health and is needed for various processes in the body.

It is required to synthesize the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is also a component of cell membranes.

A low choline intake has been implicated in liver diseases, cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders.

This nutrient may be especially important for pregnant women. Studies show that a low choline intake can raise the risk of neural tube defects and lead to decreased cognitive function in the offspring.

In a dietary survey in the U.S. from 2003-2004, over 90% of people ate less than the daily recommended amount of choline !

The best sources of choline in the diet are egg yolks and beef liver. One large egg contains 113 mg of Choline.
