which is better? fried or scrambled eggs?

Over easy with salt a ton of cracked pepper and liberal Tobasco

i just place uncracked eggs in my mouth whole, i swallow them very gently, ever so gently, then i let my stomach acid dissolve the shells. works 205% of the time.

fried over-easy > scrambled with cheddar > poached > scrambled without cheese (LOOSE goddammit!) > all others

Worst eggs I ever had were at the Colibri, the festival hotel in Victoriaville. Couldn't tell if they were scrambled completely dry or if they were a steam-table pan full of chopped up hard boiled eggs.

xp lol

Scrambled eggs takes half an hour with me, believe. Trick is to keep stirring and never turn the heat up. If your back hurts when you sit down to eat them, it means you've done it right. I almost always add fresh chili to them.

I don't often do poached eggs cos you always seem to lose a lot of white no matter what you do.

which form of eggs were immortalized in an iconic pop-song by the beatles? case-closed.

scrambled?

I wanna hold ur pan

recently tried this hybrid thing (after seeing it on that David Chang show) where you scramble the liquid eggs and then swirl them into a pot of boiling water. it didn't turn out quite right (i guess the eggs need to be more fresh and you're supposed to do some straining prior to cooking) but it was still a tasty soup-like substance.

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

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...
