STAPLE DISHES: EGGS

[Slow Play Ray]

for those Tabasco lovers, give Frank's Red Hot a shot...tastes much better than Tabasco on eggs IMHO.

yeah guys please make more egg dishes and post pics, eggs are the best.

maybe some omelette ideas?

Adding sour cream to eggs is better than adding milk. This is the last of two great cooking tips that Ralph Cifaretto taught me. The other is draining cooked pasta, putting it back in the pot, and adding butter and a little sauce to the pasta and heat briefly.

I make possibly the best scrambled eggs ever created.

- Cut tortillas into squares and brown them slowly in butter until they are super crispy. (1 tortilla / 2-3 eggs)
- They are not cripsy enough yet...brown them longer.
- Poor in scrambled eggs (yes, add milk and pepper of course)
- Cook until 'just about done'
- Add salsa
- Finish cooking (to taste)
- Plate and top with a little shredded cheese

nothing crazy here just standard breakfast sandwich. Whole grain toast with ketchup(very light layer of ketchup spread on the toast before i put the eggs on) and over easy eggs. I don't really know what I'm doing in the kitchen but usually can make some pretty tasty stuff. Unfortunately was out of turkey bacon - it's no substitute for the real thing but i enjoy having some meat with breakfast and from what I've seen turkey bacon is the healthiest

I find that in general, eggs need to be cooked slowly over very low heat. anytime I am in a hurry and cook them over high heat they turn out dry and bad.

QFT - overcooked eggs (especially a scramble) are almost inedible to me.

Here's a good Slow-Cooked Scrambled Eggs recipe

I like doing scrambled egg with goat cheese and chives. Apparently adding a bottle cap of vermouth (it's a Greek thing I was told?) during whisking is tasty. I've done the cream cheese thing - it is good.

Oh and a good tip is to take the eggs off the burner slightly before finished - they will continue to cook for a bit.

I posted about this a few months ago, but I just want to emphasize how much better fresh eggs are than eggs that have been sitting around. I now get eggs from the greenmarket and they are miles better than eggs from my local supermarket.

LESS TALK OF MILK VS WATER MORE PICTURES OF EGGS PEOPLE.







Omelette attempt 1: surprisingly easy. Left satisfied. Sauteing fennel instead of onions was an expert idea (not mine). Had everything else in the fridge. Feta cheese instead of normal cheese, also a winning play. Adding a little butter to pan after removing sauteed fennel / tomato / olives gave me a hard-on.

8.5/10 eggs. PLEASE BEAT THEM.

I gave the linked recipe a shot for dinner tonight, sorry no pics. It really was unlike any scrambled egg Ive had before, creamy flavor and texure. Total cooking time was over 30 minutes but really easy to make. I went a bit overboard on the herbs thought which I will correct next time.

Bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Egg can be prepared however you like it.

Fried egg on a cheeseburger is wonderful, too. Those of you who have been to Charlottesville/University of Virginia know the drill.
