Sunny side up or over easy.... with syrup and sitting on pancakes or French toast. To me, the taste of syrup and eggs is synergistic, like peanut butter and chocolate. I'd say at least half the people who see me do this think it's gross, though. Maybe a poll on that should be done.

You must have a bit of the Quebecois in you. Along with syrup and eggs - oreilles de crisse, pets du soeurs and tarte au sucre...all part of a good logdrivers's breakfast.

My family considers me to be perverse. I like my eggs sunnyside but sealed over, and I dip toast into the yolks and leave the whites uneaten.

I have evidently corrupted my oldest daughter, as she eats them the same way. I occasionally offer apologies for this.

But my fall-back is scrambled, with ketchup. That's OK with me.

Around here people call those dippy eggs.
 
Omelette the games begin. Egg flip was once a firm favorite — raw with milk, sugar and vanilla, shaken, stirred, whipped, whatever. But they're warning us off raw egg now — easy come easy over; Crepe is the darnset tootin' dose of delight — cooked in butter, seasoned, stuffed with anything from avocado and smoked salmon to ham and cheese — almost anything that takes your fancy — don't overdo it because you've gotta fold it and flip it :) Scrambled with whole milk, a pinch of white pepper, sea salt and nutmeg's hard to beat. But if you add tomato… Bliss! :woot: Chinese omelette's the same kinda wonderful. It's all good. Three of the freshest eggs every other day is a very healthy habit too.
 
I don't usually have any disagreement with Saabfender, but tortilla de patatas just has to be gooey in the middle and the restaurant just up the road from my Spanish gaff does one of the best.

Any restaurant brings me solid-right-through stuff I tell them to take it back to the supermarket they bought it from.
 
My favorite way to cook eggs is to mix the yolk with cream and sugar, put the mixture into small cups then cook in a water bath. Then put a small amount of sugar on the cooked egg mixture and caramelize with an open flame.

I also dig poached, sunny side up, over easy, and scrambled.
 
Oh! Good morning.

How do you like your eggs?

Omelets, frittatas, huevos rancheros, or breakfast burritos. Dungeness Crab Benedict is pretty swell as an infrequent treat too though.


My secret sauce for omelets is a three way cook (fry, broil, and bake) and a bit of lime basil. Not really into the classic French deal, I like a little caramelization and more like a souffle texture. We buy our eggs straight from a local farmer, only way to fly.
 
'Er indoors and I once had an omelet as part of a brunch menu at a restaurant in Cambria. She loved it so much that she asked me to replicate it (I'm actually pretty good at reverse engineering recipes).
Langoustine tails, red and yellow bell pepper, shallots with a souffle omelet and finished with sour cream, capers, and sliced olives. I make it as a special treat for her about three times a year.
