Once you reach a certain point in egg doneness, further cooking diminishes the flavor.

At a certain temp - above 160f - the proteins tighten up and squeeze out the water in the egg. It gets tough and chewy and probably does taste different. That's the point at which I like them with lots of cheese melted in.

I like a nice side of eggs with my bacon.
Sunny side up or over easy with some toast (or as my kids call them, dippy eggs)
OH! and baked eggs are the best! The best Jerry!

Vash, I couldn't eat your eggs. If I scramble they are just short of rubber.

Thats funny. I used to cook scrambled eggs to death. Took some practice but worth it.

Any way except soft boiled. I like eggs!

I used to like my eggs very thoroughly cooked. My mom could do them just right so they were still soft, tender and fluffy. I still like them like that, but...

My wife has always preferred them soft. I was never a fan. In the past if you got something like a sunny side up, the white would often be hard and the yolk still practically cold. That turned me off. My wife slowly wore me down over the years, slightly soft, scrambled eggs were the first that got the nod of approval. I don't prefer soft to hard one over another, they are both good and different. Then I learned how to do a sunny side up so the yolk is more gooey than runny and warm, and that's pretty good if you've got something for the yolk to run onto or into. I'm also game for a semi-soft boiled and a semi-soft poached.

I still prefer my omelets cooked (but not tough).

We have an endless supply of home grown, free range eggs that are richer than store bought. The inside yokes are usually orange from the extra protein that our chickens find while scratching in the woods, and sometimes with get double yokes.

Very good to eat, and good for you to boot.

Good responses.

We are all over the egg scale.

This!!!!
Biscuits, eggs over easy and hashbrowns...

That being said, if eggs are being served, yes I'll have some.

Also, runny yolks with red chile, hard to beat.

Scrambled or flipped, no runny whites. Yellow can be a bit runny but hard is good too. I have had food poisoning before and it sucks. I tend to overcook by most standards but thats what I am used to.

Jim Richards 02-25-2019 06:01 PM

NM Green Chili, Mike. Hatch. Just say no to Red!

Do you notice that the whites take longer to cook than with store-bought eggs? That is the case with our chickens’ eggs. I don’t know if it’s a freshness thing or something we’re feeding them.

Ha Jim, we will have to agree to disagree! Here is another for you... Sopaipilla drenched in honey diped in Red chilie.... perfection!

I like green too!

Sorry for getting off topic Vash

Jim Richards 02-25-2019 06:37 PM

I’ve eaten plenty w/ honey, but haven’t had sopapillas with chili. Sounds interesting, and I’ll give that a try the next time in the Land of Enchantment.
