Title: Eggs
Post by: Arnie on December 10, 2010, 10:46:09 AM
I used to not be big on breakfast...but now that I have retired from the Navy, I can't go without it!!!  Not only that, my meal preparation just gets better with practice.  Almost daily my favorite is corned beef hash, toast(from the frying pan), and eggs over easy.  That's a big deal for me because over-easy intentions always ended up scrambled or fried in the past... :)

How do you like your eggs cooked for breakfast?

Glad you're getting into breakfast, Arnie. It's the most important meal of the day, my friend!

I don't eat eggs often, but when I do enjoy them, it's usually in the form of an omelette.
I'll put any kind of of meat in it, but veggies are usually limited to green peppers; onions; and sometimes jalapenos. After making sure there's cheese in the center, I'm good to go!  O0  
If I go out for breakfast, I'm particularly fond of IHOP's "Colorado Omelette", and any of Walker Brothers' omelletes are to die for...

I eat the egg whites with Canadian bacon or turkey sausage.

I eat an egg for breakfast only when I'm staying at a hotel - soft-boiled.

Arnie, that sounds like the perfect breakfast!
I'll be over @ 9am.

If I wake up before noon and am feeling in the breakfast food type mood I'll usually make a fried egg sandwich with a slice of cheese on wheat.  Also like making scrambled eggs with bacon or sausage and a banana or orange.  Sometimes I'll have an English muffin with butter.

Well eggs over easy with a nice slab of ham is a really good weekend breakfast, and I also like shirred eggs (baked in a ramekin) then served over a toasted crumpet w/ butter and hot sauce.  Other than that I rarely eat eggs for breakfast--usually it's just oatmeal, but that gets to you after a while even though it's healthy.  Whole eggs apparently aren't the evil bad thing to eat anymore, at least for now.

I'm sure we'll find out eggs cause cancer soon enough.

Good...because the container of hash says serving size 2...and I'm the only one who eats it here and I just can't let that other serving go to waste...well...I have let it go to my waste line... >:D

Ming gets most of his veggies (in amounts less than deemed sufficient, but, well...) in his morning "omelet."  I say "omelet," rather than omelet, since I don't follow the fuss that a "real omelet" requires, if one listens to, say, Julia Child [she's dead, thus not in touch lately, so that's a problem solved].  I whip up two eggs with some cooked chopped spinach.  Before this I saute some veggies--onions, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini--in some butter.  Then I add the veggies to the whisked eggs and spinach and put it in the pan, adding a bit of sharp cheddar on top.  Cover, and do the muffin as the "omelet" is cooking.  Muffin done and jammed with some cream cheese, the "omelet" is revealed, folded over and plated.  The "omelet," plus the toasted English, glass of ice-cold milk, and a pot of coffee... well, one of the day's assured high points.  Shhh.  Don't tell my cardiologist.

You're secret is safe, I'm not telling your Dr.  But, growing up with an Italian heritage on my father's side  I learned that your form of eggs is called a frittata, the Italian form of omelette!  Another similar dish is popular in Spain, torta--same but with some potatoes too.  Comfort food :)

4 whole omega 3 eggs fried or scrambled, with some sort of meat/animal flesh on the side and plenty of tobasco or crystal hot sauce.  O0

Love eggs any way mentioned,I change week by week alternating with either oatmeal ,cherioos or shreded wheat and wheatgerm. Don't think eating only egg whites is really eating eggs...(sorry Razor ). Latest ,they are now saying the yoke does not raise your blood cholesterol plus it has most of the nutrition. )-m

I like omlettes as well...but I stopped making them since I can't find one of those half/half omlette "cheater" pans...the kind you cook the eggs on the halves then when ready just flip it together...

I look around from time to time, but don't really see them anymore...

I like eggs all ways, but no one has mentioned deviled eggs... absolutely love 'em... try cooking up fresh bacon and crumble it up into the egg yolk mixture.  I don't make them too often because I can't leave them alone, but like them especially at the holidays.  I second bootedbear's breakfast tacos - spicy sausage, cheese, and eggs with hot salsa... getting hungry just thinking about them.

MMMM, eggs. they're good any way you cook them.  We have our own hens and there is nothing better than a nice fresh double yoker, poached on toast with a nice dolup of butter.  Then again those hash and eggs sound pretty good too.   :)
