How do you take your eggs?

[DishLady]

A recent study showed that a person's egg preference indicates a few things about their personality. I'm still thinking about how valid that claim is, but I thought it would be a fun question for a Friday! Don't forget to take the poll!

FYI:
Sunny-Side Up: Firm, direct, honest, doesn’t mess around; yet a touch of mystery to keep people guessing just a bit.
Poached: Particularly mysterious; likes to keep people guessing.
Over Easy: Despises confrontation, hates commitment and double-books themselves every night/weekend.
Scrambled 1 (dry): Hates risk; sensible and sharp; awesome manager/multitasker.
Scrambled 2 (w/ extras): Similar to your practical counterpart; lives a tad on the edge.
Omelet: Carpe Diem advisor type

Shirred and Soft Boiled: Super picky "my way or the highway" type.
Hard Boiled: Disorganized "on the go" always rushed type.

I love sunny side up the most when it's done properly. No uncooked white part of the egg, and when you cut the yolk, it oozes that sunny delight. Perfect with some bacon, dark rye buttered toast, and avocado.

Because I haven't ever perfected sunny side up (though I've tried many times), I usually do scrambled with a mix of cheddar cheese. Same thing... it's best with bacon, dark rye buttered toast, and avocado.

[DishLady]

Yes! Usually that means you have to make them at home. Restaurants always mess up the yolk. :/

Oh. Easy trick for the sunny side egg is to grease the pan with a little olive oil (not too heavy) then cut out the inside of a slice of day-old bread (it can be any type, just get the crust to use as a frame for the egg) and crack the egg into it. If you have a gas stove set the flame to super low and let it cook. (I add pepper and a drop of lemon into the yolk while it’s cooking, but that’s optional.) Always a perfect egg. Ok?

[DishLady]

Ooh, your scrambled eggs recipe just got my attention, though. I’m going to try that tomorrow. 😊

[HawkPerception]

Ahhh wait!!! I forgot one ingredient that makes the scrambled egg EVEN better cook a hash brown until it's nice and crispy, and break that up into the scrambled egg. That's my secret sauce.

Oh and for the sunny side up, I wasn't worried about the shape of it as much. I meant the top of the egg never cooks just the white part fully unless I cover the pan with a lid, but then the yolk gets mixed with the white. It's a bit complicated to get it just perfect on the top for me and I find the only time I get that is when I go to restaurants 😂

[DishLady]

Ooof…. Ok, that’s too awesome, Top Chef. You got me. 😂

[HawkPerception]

And the avocado and bacon strips are separate from the scrambled egg and just placed on the toast with them, if that wasn't obvious already 😂

[goaded]

For a perfect fried egg, crack the egg into the frying pan, then add a dash of water to the pan and put a lid on. The steam cooks the white on the top.

[Massageman]

I use a silicone ring if I have to cook a "perfect" SSU or EO egg.

[DishLady]

@goaded Oh, interesting. I've never done that. I wonder if that's what the drop of lemon I put also does. It was an old trick my granny used. I'll try your way next time.

[DishLady]

@Massageman I'm always afraid of those on an open flame. Do they actually work?

[DishLady]

That part I got. :) Totally trying this tomorrow.

[HawkPerception]

I've always believed that every little thing about a person can tell something about them. From the foods and drinks they like or prefer to their favourite colours, where they want to travel to, how they like to dress, what kinds of hobbies they have... you name it. There's psychology behind every choice and preference in life.

As for the egg take on me, for the sunny side up part, I do think I'm direct and honest, but I honestly don't have any mystery with me because I share everything openly and honestly. And it's also correct on one part of the scrambled egg, where it says hates risk, sensible and sharp, but I cannot multitask for my life. So it's kind of true for both 😂

[Massageman]

Scrambled with cheese, veggies, meats, etc.

[DishLady]

Hmm. I’m trying to think if that’s still scrambled or considered omelette….

Presuming it’s still considered scrambled, means you’re a manager/multitasker type who would be a great boss/parent. Maybe the extras are indicative of a creative streak. :)

[Massageman]

I DO tend to make my scrambled eggs in more of an omelette format. I'll claim the creative streak - genetic- whole family is. Multitasker? Yes. Others? Remains to be seen -

[DishLady]

Nice to have the creative bit! Lucky!

[sage2021]

Sunny side up and over easy are not the same.

[DishLady]

I'm aware.

My eating habits really go in cycles, I haven't cooked eggs except as part of a larger dish for ages! I mostly eat them in cakes.

I've always been partial to scrambled.

[DishLady]

Fair enough. :)

Scrambled is supposed to mean that you’re an awesome manager/multitasker type.

[goaded]

So, so wrong! C:

[DishLady]

😭😭

[goaded]

OK, I'll admit to not liking risk.

[DishLady]

I think we can all agree to take the chart with a grain of salt. (Maybe the eggs too, haha.)

[Finchie40]

I am a sunny side up kind of guy , I like dipping my toast into the egg first before devouring it lol

[DishLady]

Great minds think alike. I dip my homefries if I have time to make some. :)

[Finchie40]

The pleasure of dipping is nice 😋

[AviatorTom]

Scrambled is preferred. Sometimes, sunny-side up so I can dip toast or pancakes in the runny yolk.

[DishLady]

Aww, that’s how my mom liked them too — or waffles rather than pancakes if she could manage.

[SotiCoto]

Eggs are about the only thing I can cook well.
Scrambled Eggs are the easy choice... but honestly I prefer to make spinach, bacon & cheese omelettes.

[DishLady]

The omelette sounds lovely! You and @HawkPerception should team up to make a fancy eatery.

[midnightmoon05]

Like all the above…

scrambled has to be well done. I don’t like moist eggs.
I am okay with easy boiled and over easy…just not easy scrambled lol…

I also steam my eggs like silky.. yummm…

[NathanDavis]

"scrambled... awesome manager/multitasker" lmfao...

[DishLady]

It's according to the chart. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[NathanDavis]

well, that one part is kind of accurate... but I also fit in others, lol

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I can really only eat it with cheese. Just plain eggs is gross

[DishLady]

Okie dokie. Is that closer to an omelette, then? Or Scrambled 2.0?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I usually just put scramble it and add in some cheese and spinach

[DishLady]

Ooh, that sounds yummy. If it’s feta I’m coming over. 😂

So scrambled means you’re an amazing manager/multitasker. You’d be a great boss and parent. (Ooh, nice. Does that sound accurate for you?)

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

God I hope not, management is a joke and parenting is definitely not for me lmao

[DishLady]

Oh no, lol. Maybe you like to have a lot of projects at once, then?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Liking it isn’t the same as doing it lol

[DishLady]

Ok, fair enough. :)

[MicahRaine]

Other :)

I'm half Asian so I usually cook them s little differently

[DishLady]

Oh! Please share! When I posted it I realized I didn’t put “other” or this one really fancy eastern way (bread with a hole in the middle and then pop the egg and toppings into the bread to cook). 😔

I’d love to learn about your way! :)

[MicahRaine]

Basically they end up being super fluffy (almost spongy) and taste like a tempura dish 🍤

[OtterMan68]

Over easy with cajun seasoning so you can sop up the yolk with toast

[DishLady]

Ooh, the seasoning sounds good. Do you add it before or after you flip the egg?

[OtterMan68]

before the flip

[DishLady]

🙌🏼 🙌🏼 🙌🏼

[Dongie]

Over easy is the best but I like them anyway you sling'em.

[Dongie]

Devil'em up even. Soft boiled is great.

[DishLady]

Oh, I did forget deviled eggs (though probably bc it wasn't on the chart... hmm). Yeah soft boiled are nice if they're done properly at home. It's not usually done right otherwise.

[Dongie]

Yep. I always guess. Hit and miss.

[Dongie]

Damn I'm either a mess or something special. I like'em all.

[DishLady]

We'll say "something special" since I try not to think of anyone as "a mess" -- hmm... versatile and possibly a tad cranky on occasion, lol.

[Dongie]

Man, you are good, I mean woman.

[msc545]

I liker scrambled with cheese and green onions...

[DishLady]

Nice. According to the chart that means you’re an awesome multitasker/manager type. Sound right?

[msc545]

well... I'm a good multitasker. Not much of a manager at all.

[DishLady]

I think it's the same skill set, which is why they lump the categories together on the chart.

[sawno]

Scrambled with milk is my favorite at the moment but I like to mix things up.

[Account]

Sunny side up, omelettes or hard boiled
It really depends on whether I have enough time

[mandyfire98]

Omelettes, scrambled eggs sometimes, poached egg on a breakfast sandwich.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Like my brain scrambled is the way I like my eggs & with extra bacon too.

[Staximus]

Scrambled (like my brain) with seasoned salt and hot sauce

[BetaBucks]

Sunny side up. Does this mean I'm a serial killer?

[DishLady]

Lol. No, perhaps a cereal killer, though. 😂 I like mine sunny side up as well (or poached if I have an extra few minutes).

The categories just hint at how outgoing and organized a person is. According to the chart you're not afraid to be bold and direct.

[BetaBucks]

Lmao good one. And funny, I'm pretty damn direct. Maybe to a fault. that seems like you too actually, based on your comments around here.

[DishLady]

(Yeah... for better or worse as far as that goes, lol.)
