The only way I like eggs are in omelets or scrambled. I sometimes sauté onions/red peppers in the pan until soft, and then make a simple omelet. Hubby likes omelets and bulls-eyes, so sometimes I make his eggs separate from mine. How do you like to make your eggs?? Here are some health benefits of eggs...http://authoritynutrition.com/6-reasons-why-eggs-are-the-healthiest-food-on-the-planet/
 

We eat eggs almost every day for breakfast or more like a brunch as we get up late..

I make eggs several ways:
Omelette
Scrambled
Poached
On a wrap in the fry pan and then broiled
Hard boiled then sliced
In the center of a bagel.. Cut out the hole making it much bigger. Cut bagel in half and fry an egg in the middle
Frittata with either veggies or fruit
Baked in oven with cottage cheese
Egg McMuffins using English muffins
Hard boiled, chopped and in a salad
Deviled eggs

I can go on but I think that is an idea.. We have at least 2 eggs each, every morning, sometimes 3 eggs each.. I only buy the jumbo eggs that often have double yolks..
 
I eat most eggs in Fried Rice. When the rice is almost ready crack an egg in the middle and stir it like Hell to spread the egg through as it cooks.

A trick from watching the Iron Chef. Works every time.:)

Otherwise boiled,fried,poached or scrambled.

Anyone else silly enough to bother doing scrambled eggs 'Heston' style? Being bored helps, takes more time... but totally worth it.



Method: A well buttered glass bowl, place onto/into a saucepan of boiling water, above water level.
Crack in the eggs, I only do 2, you'll have to jig the ingredients to suit the numbers. Stir briskly, rather than whisk, just enough to break them up into an even look.
Throw in around a dessertspoon of butter and cream. Dash of milk. Salt and pepper.

Then stir very gently about every 30 seconds until it starts to thicken, then continue stiring very slowly until it sets to how you like it. It can take anything up to 6-10 minutes. Try not to let it set too quickly, remove from heat for a few seconds to keep heat even if needed.

Turn it out onto toast and and slap more butter on, enjoy. Heston does a burnt butter sauce to pour over it but haven't bothered with that ... yet anyway, might try it one day.

It comes out much 'silkier'? than eggs cooked faster.
 

I do similar Di but don't put it over a saucpan i burn some butter in the pan and then toss in the beaten egg and cream into the frypan and run the wooden spoon through every so often so it almost folds then take it off before it sets when it is creamy serve with parsley and short cut bacon with toast, and i might just have that tonight for tea

Yeah but, believe it or not they do come out different when they're not done on the direct heat. Matter of taste, I just like em really moist and smooth and maybe I'm not too good at doing them in the pan or something.

This is the way I fry my scrambled eggs (med to well done) and sometimes add bell pepper, onions and mushrooms, but mostly eat them by themselves.

I love egg salad and always add a boiled egg to potato salad, tuna and chicken salad. One of my favorite things is deviled eggs w/just a pinch of sugar/mayo/some dry mustard, S & P, added to the stuffing.
 
My choice is an omelet with egg whites, w/ground red pepper and Rotel diced tomatoes w/lime juice and cilantro...
and mushroom slices.
The last carton of whole eggs I bought were Organic and I became very sick .. so after that experience, I'm sticking with 100% egg whites.
... wish I had my own chickens to raise, like I wanted to have a few years back.
 
Damn. Thanks a lot. Now, I'm HUNGRY!

I like eggs . . . fried over medium so that the white is cooked and the yolk soft, scrambled hard, omelet with lots of different stuff, hard boiled, with . . . steak, bacon, potatoes (hash browns or home fries), a tomato adds a nice touch, wheat toast and hot coffee.

Over easy, on toast, in a sandwich, omelets with lots of veggies. Just about any way but raw....I love eggs!!!! Yes, nothing can compare to a farm fresh egg; I sure miss having chickens, too.

Years ago a guy used to park a freaking dump truck in front of my well landscaped nice home. I stopped him as he parked one day and asked why he chose there to park. He said, he lived on the cross street and since I was in a cul d sac it was safer for his truck to park there. I told him I would like him to move it. He chose not to agressivly. Much to my wife's amazement that night a vandal who shall remain unnamed took an ice pick to four of the rear tires. My wife was home when the next day he had to make two trips to change two tires to get two tires fixed so he could drive away to get the other two fixed. Attitude didn't help him.
 
LOL. Okay. I'll start. I like them boiled, fried, scrambled, or poached in eggs benedict. Or deviled, or in egg salad sandwiches. Or an omelette with cheese and asparagus. Yes, I like eggs.

I like 'em boiled, fried over easy (so I can dunk toast), Spanish omelets, fried hard with cheese in a sandwich, egg salad and pretty near anyway I can get 'em.
 
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.
