This morning we’re going to have two eggs each, leftover rib-eye steaks, and Texas toast.

3 eggs, over easy. I’m not sure if a half-slice of toast counts as a side; I can skip it if its too much trouble.

But… I’d want REAL butter, fresh that day from the farm it was churned at, in that skillet. Yes, it makes a difference.

2 eggs, scrambled please. 3 rashers of bacon, not over done. 2 slices of wheat toast w/butter or margarine. Hash browns or home fries, whichever is easier. Oh, and a bottomless cup of coffee and a glass of OJ, pulp-free. A little ice in the OJ would be cool, though.

Well, I already made [eggs for everyone](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=580452&highlight=eggs) once, but that was back in 2010, so go ahead. They’re probably hungry again by now.  
mmm

As **Typo Negative** notes, since you won’t do poached eggs, I can’t ask for Eggs Benedict. ☹

Hmmm… can I have my (2) eggs (yolks) as part of a Bearnaise sauce for a mixed grill?

No? Okay, 3 eggs scrambled (butter only, no salt, no pepper, no milk), with 3 rashers of bacon and 3 sausages.
