Scrambled Eggs

[SirMyghin]

Water gives fluffier eggs than milk, milk tastes better. A bit of Cream instead of milk is bloody delicious.

Any one ever tried eggs in a basket from V for Vendetta?

Make a whole in a piece of bread, put it in a hot buttery pan, and crack an egg inside of it. I love making them!

 

[MetalGravy]

I like putting chili powder and garlic in mine--before cooking; sometimes salsa, too.

 

[TXDeathMetal]

This is how I do mine:

1) Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl
2) Add in a splash of milk (really no set amount, just eyeball it)
3) Add in a little Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (yet again eyeball it)
4) Mix it up well in bowl to get a good blend
5) Cook in a non stick cooking pan on medium heat until you reach desired firmness
6) Add a little shredded cheese on the top
7) Add in a little Tabasco or your other favorite hot sauce on top
8) Enjoy!

I'm more of a poached eggs fan, but I make some killer omlettes.

This man knows where it is at. They are also the most nutritious of eggs due to how you cook them.

This thread is really making me crave eggs. I mean really crave eggs. I'm about to get sick at work so I can go home and try out some of these recipes.

Oh man, awesome thread. I love making eggs. It's a fine art. Definitely going to pull this page up some breakfast in the near future

Sometimes i make scrambled eggs that come out more like quiche. All it takes is a healthy portion of parmesan cheese and some chopped up ham slices in the right proportion.

One of the best benefits of my current workplace? A full kitchen with utensils. Bring in your ingredients, and you can make your food right there on the stove, in the oven, or what have you.

And, of course, there's an espresso machine and coffee grinder, as well as a full stock of flavored syrups for latte drinks and italian sodas.

Did I mention the free fruit, so that we don't need a candy machine?

Anyway, I always have a dozen eggs in my department's section of the glass-doored fridge, and my schedule has enough time in the morning to put together toast, eggs and a latte. On the weeks where I plan far enough ahead, I wind up lightly sauteeing diced onion and mushrooms and putting them into a container. That way, I can add a quarter cup to a couple of eggs, put the whole thing into a egg ring while my English muffin toasts, and then put a little butter on it along with some Manchego cheese, before putting the last ingredient, the scrambled eggs with onion and mushroom, onto the best egg muffin money can't buy....

Is it any wonder that I didn't have anything to post in the "I hate my workplace!" thread?

(I did have to buy my own egg rings, of course. Oh, the hardships I endure there! *laugh*)

 

[The Reverend]

Murderous jealousy inducing post

Oh yeah? Well at my work, we have instant coffee powder. That's right, I said INSTANT. Pour some into hot water and BLAM! Top of the line coffee.

Uhm... When did you start working at my office?

 

[cwhitey2]

The key is you need real salted butter (and if your core enough use bacon grease, which i would take over butter any day) IMO

I have made them with everything and i find this to be the best

 

[Guitarmiester]

I usually have the mindset to make scrambled eggs but end up going overboard with a suspiciously delicious omlette.

 

[Mettle209]

How I cook my eggs:

(1) Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl
(2) Add a pinch of salt (never earlier than right before cooking)
(3) Add finely chopped green onions
(4) Add a tiny amount of milk (I like my eggs to taste like eggs)
(5) Preheat pan to medium heat
(6) Add egg mixture to pan and let sit for about 30 seconds
(7) A Good stir and let sit for another 30 seconds
(8) Turn heat up to medium high, stir, and cook for another 30 seconds
(9) Turn off heat, remove eggs from pan, and enjoy.

Option: Sometimes I put a little Asian hot sauce in it for taste. I love my eggs with a nice bowl of steamed rice and some bacon on the side. Eggs were meant to be enjoyed any way you can cook them so enjoy.

Need an engineer in training, geotech spec, will relocate?

Of all the reponses, I liked The Reverend's defining of my post as "murderous-jealousy-inducing." *laugh*

Among other things today, I got to translate a long document into Spanish, get some OSHA-compliance issues fixed, and to taste a huge amount of small morsels like coconut mango chicken and sweet potato pudding.

One of my employees complained today about gaining weight. That's how hard we have it. Although we had an employee run over last year during Bike to Work Month, and are looking into alternative exercise encouragement, we do manage to run a yummy workplace. Thank goodness I've started a walking routine with our payroll manager and HR director, where we walk for 5-6 miles in an hour every M-W-F. We have a lot of people who do extreme sports, and now is the time for us to all whip into shape after the long winter.

And now, back to... EGGS!

And now, back to... EGGS!

Scrambled eggs are great, omlettes even better IMO. But my all time favorite is Eggs Benedict! And man of man do I make some killer eggs benedict. Takes more work and cleanup though with the poaching and making the Hollandaise sauce. But good god it tastes amazing.

Oh, and since some do and some don't - I always use a little milk in my scrambled eggs, it's just not the same without it.

I love that this thread got such an enthusiastic response. You fellas take your eggs seriously.

 

[Asrial]

Well, if we need to make them every morning...

 

[signalgrey]

cook them in butter not olive oil and add some cream. stir them off the stove and place them back on a medium heat. use a dab of cream too. or dare i say...creme fraiche
