I also like them on a bacon cheeseburger (Red Robin, yummmm!), in which case they should be done over-hard.

The Royal Red Robin burger is one of my favorites! So good. I always order the egg over hard.

In general I don't like runny yolks. I know salmonella is highly unlikely, but it's all I think about when I see runny eggs. Also, i just don't like the texture of it that much. I like the yolk to be cooked all the way through. Accordingly, hard-boiled eggs are my favorite style. And they MUST be eaten cold. I hate it when they're still hot. They are best on their own or on salads.

I also eat fried eggs (over hard) fairly often, on top of hashbrowns, or lately over pupusas with some taco sauce. I eat scrambled as well, though I've not been likely that as much recently. I rarely do omelettes, just too much egg and not enough other flavors.

Warm hard-boiled eggs, sprinkled with fresh cooked bacon bits is what all the
Old Books mean by paradise.

I'm sad that you don't enjoy such thngs.

Judge not, the Good Book says...

But you're missing out..

Just IMO...




EDIT: you might want to read what Santa has to say over in the 'Coffee' thread...

You Folk knew this was coming......

What is a good recipe for French Toast?

I seem to screw it up every time. Now my understanding is to whip an egg, then add milk,
Until frothy...AND NO M*A*S*H jokes, please.
Then dip the bread, making sure each side is well coated...
Now my problem is the medium Oil? Margerine? Butter just foams at high heat...
And at what temp? Medium , or what?

I would appreciate advice...

Sunny Days!

Isn't it medium to high heat, and plain cooking oil i.e. Vegetable will work.

You just might have to experiment with your cooker to find out which is the right temp for you to use.

Hmm. The last time I made French toast (probably over a decade ago), I simply beat an egg with a bit of milk, the same as for scrambled eggs (except that for scrambled eggs, I usually add a bit of salt, and some chives). Then I probably cooked it in margarine. If I were to do it today, I'd probably cook it in a roughly 50-50 mix of butter and Canola.

But do yourself a favor: no ersatz syrup. Go with real maple. Preferably farm-bottled.

We call cookers stoves, but I think that's my problem: getting the right temp

Thank you, Highlander.

EDIT: Sorry, I couldn''t resist I guess I'm just evil.

Now if you put syrup in a hot pan you get housefire...

 

[TrickyDickie]

We use Land O' Lakes butter with canola oil. It advertises being spreadable. When straight out of a cold fridge, is it? No. Not unless you've got some very hard toast.

 

[UncleRogi]

That is actually my butter of choice...

And I DO use it cold out the fridge...

Thanks!

Here is some fun history about maple syrup....well worth reading because a lot of it is hilarious:

My first introduction to maple syrup was 'A Nip of Northern Comfort' in one of those small bottles.

But my favorite that I have seen is this one:

 

[Santaman]

Reminds me a bit of Dennis Leary's coffee flavored coffee rant..

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Ironically, that particular example is neither a "nip bottle" (12 oz. -- that's 3/4 of a pint!) nor even part-maple. (Right under "Hot Cake Syrup," the fine print says "Contents: Sugar, Honey.") And it's from Southern California. (Makes me think of all those picante sauce commercials, with people exhibiting shocked reactions to the guy who gets his sauce from New York City.)

I will not respond to your posts...
I'm laughing too hard...

Thank you, Good Sir

I mentioned waaaayyy upthread about brands I prefer (Aldi Lazzio, Melitta Blue Mountain, etc). Do any of you have favourite brands?

I usually get the fair-trade, organic French roast (or similar) from the bulk bean section of the market I go to.... unless I opt for this place once in awhile:

The fact that their web site is now gone and they are only listed on FB makes me think I should be spending more $ with them.

I really dislike eggs. Really really dislike eggs. I can stomach scrambled eggs once in awhile to please my husband who LOVES them but I absolutely refuse to eat omelets that have "stuff" in them. Sooooo nasty.
