Chilaquiles for me, please! I prefer homemade/freshly friend tortilla chips, green enchilada sauce, jack cheese most of the time, and eggs over easy. ---

Other–scrambled _hard_. Regular scrambled just doesn’t cut it. ---

However they’re cooked I don’t think eggs should ever be brown or crispy, MY eggs anyway. I don’t mind if you want your eggs that way. I picked scrambled, that’s the way I usually do mine, but butter-basted is really good too. I have gone through different levels of runny yolk tolerance, currently zero tolerance but I used to be a toast-into-yolk dunker. They don’t have to be completely solid, but definitely not runny. ---

I checked them all, including ‘Other’. Eggs is good no matter how you cook them. Over a steak might be my favorite, in Migas a close second. ---

> [@maladroit](#): > > I’ve been meaning to make scotch eggs forever, haven’t yet. That is an excellent suggestion though, may motivate me to finally make some. It’s easy, and you don’t really need a deep fryer – a big skillet should suffice to cover them in grease. The tricky part (for me) is persuading the sausage to adhere to the boiled egg, boiled eggs being . . . slippery on the surface. It usually ends up being an egg entombed in a thick clump of sausage, rather than the thinnish and uniform coating of sausage that I see in pub or convenience store versions. Wonder if there’s some trick to getting a thinner layer of sausage to uniformly cover the egg? ---

Over hard, preferably eaten on slightly buttered toast, with a sharp cheddar cheese. Mmm. Otherwise hard boiled, especially if I’m in a hurry and had some made beforehand. I don’t typically like scrambled eggs, and usually have to eat them with ketchup before they start to taste good for me.
