How do you like your eggs? (poll)

I always fry on both sides and find you get a good result if once you flip it over put a lid on the frying pan and turn the heat low or off.
Keeps a soft yolk but no runny white.

Over easy to me is just fried on both sides, although I don’t understand why anyone wants to miss out on the yolk. I like the idea of basting in hot oil, might try it. I’ve never heard of it before.

There is something called “egg in a cup” over here where you microwave egg and butter in a cup. Then dip in bread soldiers.

I do too - nice - BUT be VERY CAREFUL as they can easily explode in your face without warning after opening the oven.

Hopefully, I don’t have to ask you how you know.

Her breakfast will be the same as every other day, or the chef, me, will receive the ‘stare’. Looking after a disabled wife does have its challenges

Perhaps this would help?

She has an excellent memory, so this old giant doesn’t need any props

Eggs Benedict. That’s my favourite egg dish. But the yolk must not be too runny.

[LotsaLace]

Poached eggs on toast but I am an egg lover so about anything
goes, except a sloppy runny yukky egg. LOL

Very rarely like eggs by themselves. Although a mushroom omelette with chips is favourite.

There’s also ‘coddled’ eggs cooked in a egg coddler, I remember a friend get a pair of coddlers forher wedding present (many moons ago) and didn’t have a clue what they were for

Hmmm… egg curry, I’d almost forgotten about it. I can’t help wondering if it’s a dish that’s gone out of vogue? It used to be quite popular back in the day as I remember. It might just be time to go for a bit of a revival this weekend!

The Egg in my weekly Tandoori Murghi Keema is always well anticipated!

Blimey … Curried Eggs - a blast from the past.

Current recipes seem to favour them whole but I recall them being halved:

Ah…thank you Omah, yes I had the feeling it was a bit of a retro thing but wasn’t quite sure.

Even more retro (before our time):
