Eggs

[mellowinman]

A diner by me does crab cakes Benedict. The crab cakes replace the English muffins. A beautifully poached egg with runny yolk and hollandaise on top of a crab cake is pretty ******* amazing.

I WANT THAT NOW!!!!

That's toast you were going for, not toasy (toad-in-the-hole or other regional name) and this really needs to be a "vote for as many as you like" poll.

Eggnog is not on there. Different from and a lot more pleasant than eggs in a glass with training montage music. Rum not required. These days if you don't trust your eggs, pasteurized are probably smart (but I trust my eggs and ignore official advice to always not trust eggs.)

Custard.
Coddled.
Scromlet or scromlette (when you were going for the omelet (te) but made scrambled eggs instead)
hard-boiled
soft-boiled
frittata

...and many more, I'm sure.

It's good. The crab cake doesn't have to be amazing but the hollandaise has to be legit. Lots of places make a half ass version.

Your poll needs an "any which way but loose" option. Including soft/hard-boiled and deviled.

I love eggs, and thank goodness the dieticians who love to scare us to death about everything we put in our mouths backed off a little on eggs.

My twin was eaten by a bear when we were camping as a kid. So until I have had my proper revenge, I eat eggs this way to remind me of unfinished business.

God, I hate bears.

I know this is against TB rules, but you are bent!

Soft-boiled egg with 'soldiers.'

Or poached, on sourdough toast.

 

[ThudThudThud]

Ooh, and custard (as previously noted).

Pasta carbonara is another good use.

I once ate at a lovely little cafe with outdoor seating in Del Mar, CA. They made a Benedict with tri-tip in place of the Canadian Bacon.

Ever since I spent a summer canoeing across Canada, with seldom anything besides powdered (not an option, I noticed) available, I have always enjoyed seeing those yolks looking back at me. So, it's sunny-side up whenever possible! I will indulge in omelettes or other variations sometimes, though.

I once spent some time in the foothills of the alps in Italy.
They grew their own vegetables, corn, grapes for wine, raised chickens for food and eggs, raised rabbits for food, hunted, and bought in only the necessities like bread (milk was often 'raw' from the local cows).
Corn was not eaten fresh. It was dried, and ground for (a) chicken feed, and (b) polenta.
Similarly the fresh eggs produced by the chickens were used to make pasta, or as an ingredient in baking (the Tiramisu was unbelievable!).
Breakfast was usually coffee, and possibly some bread. One day I asked if I could have an egg.
You wouldn't believe the looks I got. Then the whole family crowded around me as a gently fried the egg in some butter, and dropped it on some toast. They made noises like I was doing some sort of pagan ritual, and there would be earthquakes.
Same thing happened when I put a little milk in my tea...

I restricted the poll to “common breakfast arrangements that can be prepared in an ordinary frying pan,” hence the absence of, say, hard boiled eggs, and by extension deviled eggs, which are objectively one of the greatest foods known to mankind. Otherwise, I’d have to include every dish that involved eggs, and as we can see, there are simply too many of those to list in a poll.

Plus, I mean, c’mon- If I asked a houseguest how they preferred their eggs in the morning and they told me to make them a custard I’d hand them a cold Eggo and show them the door.

Why that's a lovely door! See the quality joinery and the fine finish, not to mention all that lovely brass hardware! Let's go out and play frisbee with this cold puck of not exactly food while the custard cooks, shall we?

Then we could feed the "eggo" to your chickens!

I'm going to make it at home. I will keep you posted.

Cooked in sauteed onions and bacon bits, with dripping, melted cheddar cheese on top.

And with chorizo in a breakfast burrito.

I like runny yolks. Hard boiled is ok when you smash it up in some Cains and make a sandwich. I have a hard time eating them whole after watching Angel Heart.

I was about to ask why no deviled eggs, egg salad sammich, quiche.

I generally eat my eggs in the form of mayonnaise.

 

[shadowtippy]

I would have voted for Cadbury had it been an option.

 

[Richland123]

How about Kinder Eggs?
