Boiled eggs

How do eat yours?

I have 3 each morning on gluten free toast (because i got dealt that card), but am starting to get bored. I was a bit surprised to read about them mixed with oats, also unsure about using certain herbs, whilst it sounds good, i'm not sure about that early morning.

Whole and raw. Shell on.

By plunging in my toast!

 

[Tax Evader]

Whole and raw. Shell on.

Do you try to lay them again?

Eggs don't need anything really, either boil, poach or fry them with cold toast and loads of butter and salt.

Usually halved and added to ramen or curry dishes.

If you want to try some more unusual meals there are loads of historical recipes, starting from way back before porcelain when eggs were cooked directly amongst the fire coals.

Why only boiled? Try making an omelette or scrambled, simple and quick with a lot of options for flavour. I often make an omelette with low fat protein cheese, jalapenos, and onion.

Mashed up with some butter and a little bit of salt

How the heck is a snake posting on the internet?

With my mouth

Also I like to season them with this stuff - https://www.ocado.com/products/cape-herb-spice-chipotle-chilli-seasoning-tin-526921011 and a bit of mayo

Mashed up with a bit of Hellmans Coronation Mayonnaise and put into a sandwich.

If just eating in an egg cup I'll knock the side near the top, take the top off with a spoon, eat the bit in the top that comes off first, sprinkle a bit of salt in the main bit, eat a spoonful, sprinkle a bit more salt in, eat another spoonful, give up sprinkling any more salt as it has suddenly become a ball ache, eat the rest of it with varying levels of shell massacre.

Fried eggs on well buttered toast, bit of ketchup.

But then you might as well add a few sausages, some bacon, beans....

Usually in my Y fronts watching the neighbour in her garden.

Poached mostly with a balsamic dressing on sourdough.

Love a fried egg sandwich, but ain't got the time for boiling eggs.
2 fried eggs on danish bread with butter and ketchup

but ain't got the time for boiling eggs.

Frying eggs is more labour/time intensive than boiling eggs, you just wait for water to boil and put the eggs in the water for 10 minutes and can go away and do whatever you want, frying eggs you have to be at the pan all the time so you don't nuke the eggs

 

[Kelt]

10 minutes...TEN minutes?!?

 

[adidan]

Eggy bread.

Or, if you're posh, French toast.

 

[tom_nieto]

Not sure how you’d get bored of a good dippy egg and toast soldiers!

I guess it depends how you want your yolks, but the point is, you have to baby sit your eggs if you fry them, whilst boiling, you get free time to do whatever while they boil, so the argument of "not having time for boiling eggs" isn't really an argument because you waste more time on frying eggs than you do boiling eggs, it's also quicker to clean the pan you used to boil the eggs than cleaning a frying pan + the spatula, so there's a massive sunk cost of time in frying eggs vs boiling eggs

While they fry I'm faffing with the bread, it times nicely. All done before you get to burning your fingers on hot egg shell.
