Eggs

Eggs are one of the world's perfect foods. They are a good source of protein and have vitamins and minerals in them. Do you like eggs? Are you allergic to eggs? How do you like your eggs cooked?

I like eggs, yes. My favorite way of having them is how my dad made them. Scrambled, with melted american cheese and bits of sausage and/or bacon mixed in. Just typing about it has made me somewhat hungry.

Cooked?

Cooked eggs in a beer?

I like eggs cooked all kinds of ways.

We like the scrambled with cheese and bacon or sausage, also.

Yummy.

Seriously  if I am to do eggs properly ( I eat them most every morning) I separate the yolks, whip the whites with a hand wisk to a foam then slowly hand mix the yolks into the whites to pan fry at very low temperature to make a fluffy omlette that I fold over whatever fresh veggies an diced fruit I may have around at the time.

I seldom do cheese in my eggs, but if I do  it is provolone.

Eggs?

Scrambled  - a spoon or two of milk or heavy cream and beat well.  While scrambling, add spinach, shredded mozzarella, scramble more and it's a meal fit for a king!

Boiled eggs?

The smell alone makes me ill.  I'd rather eat nothing at all than boiled eggs.

When I feel quite decadent I make "woofy eggs". I cut a circle out of slices of bread, low cal bread, using a shot glass to cut the hole through the bread on a cutting board surface. Then I fry the bread in olive oil dropping an egg in the middle of the bread hole, flipping them over when halfway cooked through to also toast or fry the other side of the  bread.  I serve them like a pancake with real maple syrup and real butter. I also cut the bread holes at the same time using them as my metering device to help know when the woofy  is fully barked.

 I have no idea where the name woofy eggs comes from except that is what my mother called them.

Eggs have a lot of cholesterol, fat, and saturated fat, and that is before frying. I enjoy a fried egg occasionally, but I'd rather not eat a lot of them. I think shredded wheat is one of the world's perfect foods. Low in fat, no sodium, lots of fiber, and lots of complex carbohydrates for energy. Even some protein.

I'm a fan of eggs, @missmuffet. They're a shelf-ready source of nutrition and they've been part of my diet for many years. Many moons ago I kept a gaggle of hens in the countryside when I lived in the state of Tennessee (gorgeous state) which kept me supplied with free-range eggs for as long as I was able to keep it going out there. I'd crack a few into a tumbler of orange juice and chug that in the mornings.

I'm not sure why my blood cholesterol levels are so low considering how many eggs I put to rest. Doesn't matter how they're prepared... I'm game for eggs. 

The best way to eat eggs is fresh with your own chickens. I would never eat raw eggs.  Eggs increase your good cholesterol so they are not so bad. They used to say that eggs were really bad on your cholesterol level but that is really not the case. It really depends on your genes.
