When having plain ol’ eggs, I like 'em fried over easy, so the white is fully cooked and slightly crisp, and the yolk is totally runny, for dipping toast into. In a recipe, my favorite is: Place a small pile of refried beans on a plate. Top with a small crispy tostada Lovely fluffy scrambled eggs on that with a dollop of salsa Another tostada Grated monterrey jack on that Under the broiler briefly to melt cheese. Garnish with a bit of sour cream, chopped green onions, and cilantro. Heaven!!! ---

Sunny side up, mooshed in with hash browns and cut up breakfast sausage. With lots of salt. With a cup of hot coffee, and a large, cold glass of milk. YUM!!! ---

I like them scrambled, with sausage, onions, sharp cheddar cheese and garlic mixed in. I use three egg whites plus another complete egg, to reduce cholesterol. ---

There once was a young Indian chief who had a phenomenal memory. He boasted about how he never forgot anything. So, naturally, the devil had to trick him. He offered the chief a deal: if he could prove he had the world’s greatest memory, the chief would be granted all he desired. If not, the devil got his soul. The chief agreed. The devil asked one question: “Do you like eggs?” “Yes,” said the chief. The devil nodded, than vanished. Time passed. Lots of it. Months turned into years, years into decades. The devil decided it was time to test the chief. He picked a special gathering of all the chiefs. The devil disguised himself as an Indian, with full headdress. He then went to the gathering to see the chief who had made the deal. Spotting him, the devil went over. “How,” he said, raising his hand in greeting. “Fried,” said the chief. (Probably politically incorrect, but what the heck.) ---

Poached this way: Bring 2-inch deep water to a medium simmer. Throw in a splash of white cooking wine and some salt. Crack two eggs directly into the water from a height of 1.5 to 2.5 inches, depending on preference. The higher you drop them in, the thinner and wider the white will be. Let cook for 4-5 minutes. While eggs cook, toast two pieces of lite wheat toast. Butter the top of the toast and place on a large plate. Scoop out the eggs and place gently on each toast slice. Allow a few drops of the water to fall onto the toast as well. Sprinkle some freshly ground pepper on top and eat. ---

Only whites, in an omelet - with a slice of 2% cheese - either American or Pepperjack. Maybe some sliced scallions. Susan ---

In the shell, stuck in the refridgerator, pulled out for only baking cakes and cookies. I loathe eggs. I’m wary even of mixing eggs to make a coating for chicken, and I won’t touch souffles. ---

First, fry bacon in pan. Leave the grease in pan. Crack an egg into the grease. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over raw egg. Break yolk and let run outside the borders of the white. Flip over. Fry until yolk is rubbery _looking_. Serve between two pieces of toast slathered with Miracle whip and top egg with bacon. YUMMM! ---

You know, I used to think of the mods as almost God-like, until I read this: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ukulele Ike \* > But always with sausages, potatoes (no ketchup, thank you), buttered rye toast, and a **cold V-8** , lemon on the side. Now I’m a broken man with a shattered belief system. To the OP, hard-boiled all the way, with a touch of pepper, after peeling, of course.
