Over easy please

Eggs Benedict- perfectly soft-poached eggs topped with even more eggs in the lemony hollandaise: it's a decadent brunch dish, feels like I'm getting away with something when I indulge.

KerreyMarch 25, 2014

I love Eggs Benedict. I used to go to a little restaurant in Evanston Il that made a variation they called Eggs Sardou, using a fried green tomato instead of the English muffin and it was amazing!

tortilla española.....egg frittata with potatoes and onions.

jenniesbMarch 27, 2014

I love eggs -in, on and under anything. Right now i'm loving a dish from my favorite food truck: An awesome charred cabbage salad with chpped apples, caramelized onions, feta, and a poached egg on top. Yum.

A salad (with bacon in it!) with a poached egg on top. Egg yolk makes the best sauce, doesn't it?

chris2468March 26, 2014

l'm a simple person so l love POACHED EGGS on TOAST, with freshly ground pepper

robinjApril 17, 2014

Boy, I'm struggling between eggs benedict made with tomatoes, spinach and avocado instead of canadian bacon and shakshuka. Maybe the first for brunch/breakfast and the second for dinner.

"Syrian eggs with rhubarb"; for recipes, see Gil Mark's *Olive Trees and Honey* or Jennifer Felicia Abadi's *A Fistful of Lentils.* Delicious!

Queezle_SisterMarch 26, 2014

A single lovely egg, over easy, with za'ater, and served with whole grain bread. Because I usually have my own chickens, and thus the best eggs, a simple preparation truly showcases the egg.

LovestocookMarch 26, 2014

Mexican style spicy red rice with a fried egg on top

HarlenApril 22, 2014

I have two favorites....Spanish tortilla and chilaquiles (a simple version with an egg or two in the middle served with fresh herbs and crisp tortilla strips fried up just before adding the eggs). Yum to both!

nurseyApril 13, 2014

Love love love Yotam Ottolenghi's Skillet-Baked Eggs with Spinach, Yogurt, and Spiced Butter

psj926April 17, 2014

Eggs Norwegian, which is like eggs Benedict, but with smoked salmon substituted for the Canadian bacon. Yummy.

paulabucharlesMarch 26, 2014

I'm a big fan of eggs. I can have them with just about anything. But I can't resist to breakfast creamy soft scrambled eggs & bacon, egg sandwich (runny yolk, of course), fresh egg salad, Benedicts. I have eggs every single day...

lindastevensApril 17, 2014

I love making a Frittata with leftovers, a little chili to spice it up topped with grated cheese.

lindedApril 17, 2014

A bistro standard: frisee salad with lardons and poached egg. Yum!

CarbonToeMarch 26, 2014

I keep it simple, poached egg on unbuttered toast with a few shakes of tabasco sauce.

I Love Eggs In So Many Dishes As Well As Just Eggs. I Would Say I Love Quiche's With Eggs The Most xxx

jobethApril 18, 2014

Mrs Jang's home-style fried eggs (courtesy of Kylie Kwong). Free range eggs fried in the wok and topped with white pepper, spring onions, oyster sauce and a chopped chilli. Crunchy, sweet, savoury, spicy. A rival to bacon and eggs.

GoldenLeicaMarch 26, 2014

I love eggs scrambled with homemade spatzle!

acorgihouseMarch 25, 2014

Fried Rice, what I had for dinner tonight. I make it different every time, but I always put in more eggs than normally used because I love the soft scrambled eggs with the savory seasoning and the soy sauce twang. Love it.

I'm a sucker for omelettes - not only do they taste delicious, they remind me of my mom.

TbrookshawApril 21, 2014

Mine's an omelette with anything I can find to put in it.

pwsnookMarch 25, 2014

Soft scrambled eggs and onions! My mom would beat the eggs by hand with a rotary egg beater until they were foamy and then pour them into an electric skillet over chopped onions that had been slowly cooked in butter. She would cover the skillet and occasionally lift the lid to fold the eggs until soft pillows formed. I have never been able to make these eggs like she did, but I keep trying!

JaneCMarch 26, 2014

goats cheese & red pepper frittata

Linda41April 17, 2014

I love to make oven baked frittatas with whatever strikes my fancy. Saute up some onions, mushrooms, peppers, spinach and bacon. Mix together some cheese and eggs with turmeric and any other spices. Bake it in a pie pan, and it's wonderful. Sometimes I use leftover lamb, or lima beans, or peas. Sometimes I use crab and Old Bay. The eggs are what bring it all together into one satisfying dish.

westerMarch 26, 2014

Egg salad, with homemade mayonnaise of course.

KarinaFrancisMarch 26, 2014

Huevos rancheros or any permutation of baked eggs

Spagetti Carbonara, but really anything gets an egg on it at my house. Tonight avocado on toast topped with an egg.

nomadchowwomanApril 18, 2014

I'm with so many others here--eggs benedict. And if you want to sub a crab cake for the Canadian bacon, I will follow you anywhere.

sailorMarch 31, 2014

i love stuffed eggs because you can make them in so many different ways.

EdieDMarch 27, 2014

That;s definitely a soft boiled egg with just some salt. The person who invented that,sure deserves a statue. Two statues.

SchoutMarch 29, 2014

Scrambled eggs with chives and goat cheese. Or, anything with a poached egg!

nigelandjessMarch 29, 2014

Omelettes - made with any leftovers in the fridge. So easy and yum!

pokarekareApril 4, 2014

Plain poached eggs from my own chickens, scrambled eggs done Mum's way [chives and parsley etc. gently heated in plenty of butter, then break eggs directly into pan and scramble oh so gently, adding s&p to taste.]. Asian comfort food - a bowl of hot steamed rice topped with quickly stir-fried green onions, then heat pan very high, drop in egg, turn as soon as it is firm on the bottom and remove while the yolk is still runny inside. Top with soy sauce and get out the chopsticks!!!

OrdinarybloggerMarch 29, 2014

Fried egg over butternut squash and freekeh.

emiliangMarch 31, 2014

Egg salad sandwich with perfectly hard-boiled eggs -- delicate, not gummy, whites and brightly yellow, not green-tinged, yolks. Could it eat it every day!

gjelizabethMarch 30, 2014

An egg steam-poached on top of sautéed vegetables (whatever is in the crisper but starting with a chopped onion) using the fat from a slice of bacon, bacon reserved and crumbled on top with a grind of fresh pepper. Yum.

nmclallenApril 10, 2014

Quiche or strata

BrandeemkApril 3, 2014

I LOVE eggs. Quiche has always been my standby for the many ways it can be prepared. Recently a Japanese friend hooked me on Ketchup Rice with runny scrambled eggs stirred in.

kalex426March 29, 2014

Has to be a frittata, a few eggs with some veggies and cheese and it's a complete meal, brunch or dinner!

herbyApril 3, 2014

My favourite breakfast is toast topped with avocado, thinly sliced tomato and perfectly cooked sunny side up egg - so good!

I LOVE adding a boiled egg to a lentil salad bowl. It adds to much depth and is really brought out by salt and pepper. It's a very delightful and simple pleasure.

patsyluMarch 29, 2014

At this time of year my thoughts turn to matzo brei.

Eggs Benedict

amylou61April 8, 2014

Eggs Benedict is my favorite and a special treat.

jannicMarch 29, 2014

Zucchini slice. It's a baked style of egg slice with zucchini, bacon, onion and cheese. A bit like a baked frittata.

debbztMarch 30, 2014

A fresh salad full of our beautiful herbs from our garden, sweet cherry tomatoes, baby peas, lightly seared asparagus, toasted pinenuts, chopped up crispy bacon, cubes of fresh brie, piled high in a bowl.....topped off with a lightly poached egg and drizzled with a good balsamic vinegar!.....yumm!

NancithMarch 30, 2014

PatriciaWMarch 29, 2014

Eggs make everything better. Gotta love a sourdough toast fried egg sandwich, egg fried in just a bit of olive oil, with a slather of herbed mayo.

cocecitycookMarch 29, 2014

huevos rancheros or an omelet with fontina cheese and asparagus or pasta carbonara. I have chickens running loose in by backyard and I must use up all of those lovely eggs they leave for me!

Quiche Lorraine still rates with me!

debkellieApril 3, 2014

For me: It has to be quiche of some sort (particularly as we grow our own eggs) : and this is my present favourite: Tarte Flamiche try it for yourself at: http://www.eatyourbooks.com/library/recipes/610281/tarte-flamiche-with-paprika-thyme

My favourite egg dish is my husband's Popover Pancake (aka Dutch Baby) - at least once a week for breakfast! After that, omelettes, quiche, frittata ... eggs are very versatile!

rivergaitApril 11, 2014

Lemon Curd...which uses 2 eggs plus 2 egg yolks. When you have as many chickens as I do, ANYTHING made with eggs is my go-to menu item.

HelenBMarch 31, 2014

I love eggs, but if I had to choose one special way to eat them, I would say a Grand Marnier soufle with creme anglaise.

Eggs en cocotte - a little chutney or pesto or other sauce in the bottom of buttered ramekins, drop in the eggs, bake in a water bath, sprinkle with herbs/cheese/salt & pepper. Beautiful for brunch.
