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.

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!

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.

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...
