which is better? fried or scrambled eggs?

But I like mine fried: A little easy, of course so ya's can mop up the yolk with your toast as most do at the upstanding diners that we have in these parts.

Poached. Though I cheat and use those poaching cup thingies.

1. Break egg
2. Pour egg into frypan
3. Poach it
4. Violin, poached egg

Hang on - what about the water? Wheres yr water?

Oops - you can poach in watre by adding vinegar, and swirling the water when you slide the egg in (from a cup) so it moves the white around itself, if you can picutre that. I havent tried it but it looked easy on the telly.

Man, now I want to go to Greasy Joes for breakfast dammit.

or scrambled with spinach and the new garlic tabasco.

I cannot eat dry scrambled eggs - they have to be moist and scoopable with parsley and pepper and only a bit of salt.

Tonight I'm making a copy of the salad with poached egg that I had at St. John last week. Mmmm.

good work gear!

trackback: ILXOR in todays Guardian

Civilised: Scrambled egg with oregano and smoked salmon on brown toast.

goddamn House of Pies closes in 12 minutes! I'll never make it. might as well sleep, then.

I'm at work though. Bah.

Search: Scrambled eggs beaten with sour cream, seasoned, and with chopped smoked salmon added in the final few seconds of cooking, and to finish off - finely chopped chives sprinkled on top.

Destroy: Overcooked scrambled eggs - I'd rather eat salmonella thank you.

Having said all this, there is no better foil for your bacon, sausage mushroom and baked beans than a good fried egg with a huge runny yolk.

A simple French omelette will do nicely

Hmm - that just looks like what I can 'an omelette', implying that an American omelette is something else. Can you explain?

details?

I used to do soft-boiled eggs every day but poaching is much less faff, with much less waiting time.

My scrambled egg of choice is either:

Fry little pieces of chorizo in a saucepan until oil expresses, add two or three eggs, scramble on low heat, dust with sea salt and white pepper.
Let butter melt in a pan to a depth of about half a centimetre, add two or three eggs, scramble on low heat, finish with white pepper and a dash of truffle oil.

mr veg has been experimenting with sunny-side-up eggs on a pile of sauteed potatoes etc

very yum

my heart still belongs to a lovely soft scramble tho

carbonara

probably not the healthiest start to the day, but I'm in love with tortilla at the moment. It is that good it makes me wonder why I ever bothered cooking eggs in any other fashion.

I'm gone nuts for huevos rancheros lately

I've been cooking Suzy's chorizo scrambled eggs recipe for a few years now and it rules. The eggs go an amazing colour in the chorizo grease.

eating a bacon and fried egg sandwich rn v good

not as good as a fried fried egg sandwich i bet (fried egg in fried bread)

^ooh

lol greasy joes indeed (sorry, mongs injoek I guess).
no mention of French toast!

this is an egg thread not a bread thread

French toast is basically bread soaked with eggs so much its a bready omelette tho?

Proper escofier style scrambled eggs, buttery and silky and smooth, are amazing. Anything getting close to solid or rubbery is just gross though. The former I'd say is equal to a fried egg (as long as the yolk is soft and runny); the latter comes nowhere close.

My staple Saturday morning breakfast. Destroys hangovers better than anything I know. Fun to make too.

with scrambled eggs, I went through a phase of trying to see just how slowly I could cook them. Managed to get it to 30 minutes with a LOT of stirring, and they do come out extremely creamy.

my dudes

At the moment I really love buttered toast with a layer of wholegrain mustard and two eggs scrambled with salt/pepper and cooked in butter. Description is probably quite reductive of how nice it actually is. Will try huevos rancheros at some point tho, it looks pretty fucking nice!

mustard you say

Flour cafe in Boston has my favorite egg sandwich. Here in Austin I really enjoy the fried egg sandwich at 24 diner.

Lately I've been leaning more towards scrambled because my wife makes a wonderfully creamy version fairly often.

What does she use? Butter?

well, she don't use jelly

Great now that'll be stuck in my head all afternoon.

Medium/soft boiled on nduja toast still best

"There's nothing better than a poached egg on a piece of crunchy buttered toast or English muffin. Nothing."
— Kenny Shopsin

I've noticed lately that poached eggs have an additional flavor that is subtle but bad. Or maybe it's just the water.

I'm a fan of Kenny Shopsin, but I do not agree. I'd take scrambled in that scenario.

An egg not cooked properly is always at risk of becoming a "ball of corruption" (c) my partner's granddad - a bridge to another era!

I should add, he died 30 yrs ago!

the additional flavor may be the small amount of vinegar added to the poaching water...
