what am i doing wrong - ordering eggs

[lachesis]

I like my eggs over easy, but not what my mom calls "snotty". I like the runny yolk, but the white has to be cooked through. I've come to order over medium and still sometimes get "snotty" whites. The idea of twice over easy sounds like it may work. I'll have to try that!

...And that's why I always order scrambled.

I'm incredibly picky about my fried eggs (I hate when the white gets those hard, chewy bits (read: I choke on said hard, chewy bits)), so I usually order them scrambled at restaurants too. Scrambled and with cheese.

I like soft yolk, cooked white. It doesn't matter to me if the yolk is gelled or runny, I just don't like the yolk cooked solid or the white runny. I usually order over-medium and get something within that range.

Gel yolks are tasty but I would worship the cook who can do it consistently on command. It seems like a really narrow range of temperature would be required, and a really short window of opportunity to get it out of the pan.

I pretty much only like my eggs with runny yolks. I'll eat them other ways, but my favorite is sunny side up. Unfortunately, since I'm pregnant, I'm not allowed to eat them that way. And my doc wants me to eat 2-3 eggs a day, if I can manage it. *pout*

why can't you eat them that way?

Sam & Ella's Mayonaise.

% of eggs today with Salmonella contamination + % of extremely dangerous Salmonella strains + pregnant.

ya. that's why places put warnings about undercooked meat and eggs on the menus. So that they're not responsible if someone gets sick from eating what they asked for.

I like eggs a number of different ways, the most interesting way I like them would be to take my mom's silicon muffin baking dish, bake the eggs in the oven using cooking spray and the eat them with caeser salad dressing.

Half of you are going huh? the other half is going damn I need to try that.

I'm kinda in the middle on this one I'm not sure if it would be good or nasty, I'd have to just try it I guess. I've heard of the baked in the oven idea before though.

No one has brought up poached eggs....that has to be about perfection. Solid whites, soft runny yolks.

Poached is my favorite way.

Or:
Florentine
Leftover rice, spinach, butter in bottom of ramekin
make a well
crack in an egg, grind salt and pepper on top
gently float a couple tablespoons of heavy cream on top
bake in a low to moderate oven until egg sets to degree you like

Vaguely Tex-Mex
dollop of drained and rinsed canned black beans, hefty pinch of shredded cheese, dollop of salsa mixed together in bottom of ramekin
make a well
crack in an egg
blorp on salsa and a dollop of sour cream
bake in a low to moderate oven until egg sets to degree you like

Same recipe can be used with canned corned beef hash, beef hash, turkey hash, shredded hash browns and onions, whatever. Baked beans if you are British I suppose

Nice because they are single serving, you can make up an entire tray of them

I like my eggs wrapped around some sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella or swiss cheese.

What?

I do this. Well, not the sausage.

Works for me. Especially if the sausage is chorizo.
