Just how cooked do you need your eggs?
 
Ahhhh. The complimentary hotel breakfast. the eggs; swimming in their own egg “juice”. I think the water is from over cooking the eggs. The proteins squeeze out the water.

I like my eggs just shy of done. Let The residual heat finish it up on the plate. I’ve even gotten okay with the occasional jiggly egg white. My own scrambled eggs are under done by most people’s standards. Soft and custard-like.

You?

I like them done. No more, no less. I generally either order scrambled or over hard.

onewhippedpuppy 02-25-2019 09:25 AM

Aren’t the hotel eggs not actually eggs, made from concentrate or some such crap? Me I like my scrambled eggs cooked enough to not be mushy, but I like a good over easy as well.

Scrambled should be custardy to me. Fried I like over easy. Hard boiled I don't care for, but deviled are OK. Never had soft boiled. That said, I like omelets the best.

Done man, they gots to be done.
I have juice to drink, no need to drink eggs.

Eggs can be none or any sort of cooked. Salmonella needs to be well done.

I prefer my scrambled eggs dry. Cooked through and dry but not to the point of being rubbery. Wet scrambled eggs make me gag. It's like eating snot. Otherwise over easy or poached/boiled medium. Gotsta have the white cooked any way you cut it.

If they are in my home made ice cream, they do not get cooked at all.

Jim Richards 02-25-2019 09:58 AM

Over medium...no runny whites for me!

Sunny side or over easy, cook until the whites are firm and the yolk is beginning to thicken up. I like scrambled eggs either alone cooked a bit creamy, or with scallions and cheese cooked hard. One of my favorites is a hard boiled egg mashed up with mayonnaise and lots of black pepper with a piece of buttery toast on the side. Add a small glass of 50% grapefruit juice/water and a cup of black coffee and I’m a happy man.

Poached or soft boiled.

Softly scrambled are great - so they still have some shine - just a minute or two longer and the taste changes dramatically. I also like fried (over medium) eggs - running yolk!

Same with us.

Back in my younger days I sometimes dropped an egg in my beer mug. It made a great breakfast. I then added some Snapy-Tom tomato juice and made it a red beer. Then a large hunk of Gouda cheese to eat.

I havn't done that in years.

Any which way, doesn't bother me a bit. Hard boiled, soft boiled, over easy under easy, makes no difference. Ask me how I like to cook my goose?

ckelly78z 02-25-2019 12:08 PM

My wife makes "Gordon Ramsey" scrambled eggs that are so light, and fluffy using freschetta, they are to die for. When I fix them for myself, I generally use cracked pepper, and sea salt on 2 eggs in a small skillet, I then pour shredded cheese on top, and use mayo for seasoning inside of a flour tortilla.

I really like over easy, and eggs benedict if others are fixing it.

Zeke 02-25-2019 12:11 PM

Over medium. When I flip the egg I turn off the heat and let it sit in the hot pan for a minute. The bottom is lightly browned. They come out tender but not runny at all. The white is very firm.

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

javadog 02-25-2019 12:29 PM

I'm with Vash on the scrambled eggs. Almost, but not quite done when they come out of the pan. Omelettes need to be just set. If there's any browning, I don't order eggs from that restaurant again, as their cook isn't a chef. Hard boiled eggs are cooked gently for about 7 minutes; the yoke is barley set and a deep yellow. Fried eggs can be done any number of ways, depending on what else is on the plate.

Don't do soft boiled eggs or poached eggs, unless the poached egg is part of a better dish, like Eggs Benedict.

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

I can eat my weight in deviled eggs.

911 Rod 02-25-2019 12:55 PM

Off all the things I put in my mouth, eggs need to be cooked well.
I went to eat a hard boiled egg while I was driving and it squirted at me. Almost puked.

Baz 02-25-2019 01:00 PM

Over easy with the yolks remaining liquid........so they can flow all over my hash browns!
