My new breakfast indulgence.

[dpm802]

Eggs, they're only good for 3 things...breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Insert Justin Bieber joke here.

I use Creme Fraiche.

BTW, how much do you add to the eggs?

I've added heavy cream to my grocery shopping list. I'll pick some up when I go to the store today or tomorrow.

My latest breakfast indulgence has been Canadian Toast, a recipe I invented a few years ago but haven't used in a while. Same ingredients as French Toast, but I toast the bread beforehand, dice up the toast into half-inch cubes, then submerge them in batter and let them soak for 5 or 10 minutes. Finish it off as if you were making scrambled eggs.

I can make this in large batches, 6 eggs and 6 slices of bread, and the leftovers will keep for about 3 days and I just need to heat them up in a microwave. Top it off with sour cream or applesauce, and maybe a drizzle of Sriracha sauce. MMMM, mmm, good!

Sounds good.

4 things. Dessert too, specifically Zabaione a/k/a Zabaglione. Divine!

and Pavlova

That sounds good. I also like these:

This is turning into a "How do you like your eggs" thread, and I'm completely supportive.

What about a quick refreshing drink between meals?

Always thought Stallone's reaction said more "barely contained nausea" rather than "refreshment"

I use butter(unsalted) in the frying pan when I cook eggs. Any other techniques?

Ha, yep, The very first protein shake.

Cold butter cut into small cubes works well too. I add the butter to the eggs, and beat it all together. Of course you still melt more butter in the pan as well. The fat in the butter (and cream) like the cream helps keep the proteins from binding so tight. Also, low low low heat.

Cool. Thanks.

Great advice! I always go by the line "Done in the pan, over-done on the plate". Always take it off the heat earlier than you think.

Do you think eggs are more of a "man" food. The SWMBO could take it or leave it...mostly leave it.

Butter- for a well lubricated heart

My wife cannot stand eggs, my granddaughter only eats egg whites (BLEHHHH). I don't think I have ever seen my sisters eat eggs. You may be on to something.

My 2 year old daughter ate 5 eggs the other day. She kept asking for more! The only reason she didn't eat more was because I thought it was rediculous for a 2 year old to eat a half dozen eggs!

Should have added some bacon strips to balance it out

Bacon grease. I cook my bacon first then cook the eggs in the grease. If I'm just cooking eggs (i.e., no bacon on hand) then I'll use unsalted butter. I've recently gotten hooked on Kerrygold butter.

Will a towel wrapped around your head protect you from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal? Is the trick of flying throwing yourself at the ground and missing?

The odds of finding this reference in an egg thread just powered my improbability drive for the week.

 

[mretzloff]

I eat 28 eggs every week. They are very versatile.
