How do you cook eggs?

MeggyO · June 2011

So I love eggs. I really really do. I love them poached. With a little truffle salt on toast. Or maybe poached over a pasta. Or poached in a soup. I like eggs poached. But I can't eat poached eggs right now. Crying

What I don't love are scrambled eggs. I'll eat them, especially if cheese is involved. But I don't really like them.

Unfortunately, my goal is to eat an egg a day. But not poached. How do you prepare your eggs?

Usually scrambled with cheese and ketchup. But since being pg, I only want them fried over easy with toast to soak up the yolk. mmmm, now I want some eggs.

I like eggs scrambled and/or in omelette form. Sometimes I make them kind of like a frittatta w/some potatoes, spinach, other diced veggies. Then serve it w/cheese and Frank's hot sauce. SO YUM! Darn, I may have to make that this weekend!

I also love hard-boiled eggs. And you can make a few of those at a time, put them in the fridge and have ready for you whenever you want. Love them in salads!

Someone on Pinterest posted a link to Homemade Egg McMuffins. I don't normally like my eggs cooked that way but, for some reason, I don't mind in the McMuffins. Might be worth a try.

I didn't think you were supposed to eat the yolk uncooked.

You may want to clarify with your OB. As long as the yolk reaches a safe temp, you should be fine no matter the state of runny-ness.

It was a while ago, but while I was preggers, I aheared to every rule and don't remember anything about runny or poached eggs.

I like scrambled with a bit of cheese or fried with a bit of butter on whole wheat toast. Yum!

I like them scrambled, but also in a frittata or even a fried egg white.

I don't remember anything about eggs, as long as they were cooked. I was pretty strict about all the "rules" with DS too. I will ask about it at my next appointment.

For pregnancy, I've been trying to eat 2 eggs/day (Brewers/Bradley diet). Since it's so many and I'm not a HUGE egg fan, I eat them hardboiled with salt on them. It's actually become kind of like a chore :P ...I sometimes will cut the two hardboiled eggs up and make an egg salad sandwich. My H hard boils a dozen eggs on Sundays so I have them for the week, and that's generally the only way I'll eat them every single day. That and French Toast Wink

Scrambled eggs with fresh cut chives, a little shallot salt (Penzey's) and pepper. Then add cheese at the end to melt on top.

I hate runny yolk, so I always make/order mine "over hard." Like over easy, but you cook it look enough so that the yolk is hard.

I like them scrambled. Or egg whites with spinach and feta cheese.

Love me some eggs benedict, but dont know who to prepare that for myself.

Over easy over buttered sourdough toast with salt and pepper. Yum!!! Now I am hungry too. I always eat my eggs runny-even when pregnant. It wasn't on my OB's list of things to avoid and, well, I'm not that conservative about food stuff.

Can you eat them fried? I like them fried inside a piece of toast cooked on a skillet
