Eggs never get boring

Don't worry about the cholesterol! If you're not eating sugar and a lot of white flour, then good, natural fats (not messed with, not rancid) is great for you, as are eggs and lots of them. Read "The Schwarzbein Principle" to learn why. Dr. Schwarzbein's healing diet starts with eggs every single day, in as many different ways you feel like eating them.

I see no mention of Spain's "Tortilla de Patatas" otherwise known as a "Tortilla Española." They eat this every day, at any hour, all over Spain. You can get a slice of it with your wine at seven in the evening or have it inside a hard-crust bread for breakfast with your "cafe con leche." It's made simply with potatoes and onions that have been fried in oil (ideally olive) and drained, beaten eggs, and salt to taste. You can add bits of chorizo and/or sweet peppers if you like. The whole mess cooks for awhile in the frypan (use enough oil to prevent sticking), and then you do this flip with a plate and slide the uncooked top, now the bottom, into the pan to cook the other side. Eaten at any temperature, taken on picnics, whatever... it's a perfect food.

My seventeen year daughter made cupcakes last night for the last day of school. Used our eggs w/ the scary yellow yolks (from free ranging)...white cupcakes came out yellow from the yolks.

Whoppsie...as she would say.

Without a doubt I could eat eggs daily, no problem. Poached, fried(over medium), scrabmled, egg sandwiches, egg salad, breakfast burritos, smothered in sausage gravy (next to the biscuts), omlets, deviled, hard boiled with salt, benidict, I like them just about any way they can be cooked as long as they arent overcooked.

Bacon would have to rank up there too, there's really not much that wouldnt be better with bacon on/in it...

I have an egg sandwhich on plain bread w/may about twice a week. I use to take cold fried egg sandwhiches to lunch when I was a kid, and still love this to this day. If I am in a hurry in the am I run by Krystal and they will fix me an egg sandwhich on plain bread with a double side order of crisp bacon for about $2.50. Sometimes I just get a order of grits for 57 cents. Can't beat that.

Amen Dreamzpainter --- I over did it with the whiskey once in teenaged years and no more whiskey for me!
Re eggs, I could eat them every day in omelette form or scrambled with peppers and cheese and crumbled sausage and topped with salsa or Tabasco sauce.

I am not sure what you mean by easy but here is my recipe. It IS much easier to bake rather than to fry them.

OVEN-STYLE SCOTCH EGGS

2 12 oz. packages breakfast sausage (I always use Jimmy Dean low-fat)
bread crumbs
12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled.....medium sized ones are easiest to work with
2 eggs, beaten

Divide sausage into 12 portions. Sprinkle bread crumbs
on dinner plate. Pat out each portion meat into a patty. Wrap
completely around a hard-boiled egg, pressing edges together to
seal. Roll into breadcrumbs and pat the crumbs onto the sausage meat.
Roll into the beaten egg and place on well greased baking pan.
Repeat with rest of eggs. Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes (until nicely browned).
Eat them hot, cold or at room temp.

BINGO!!

How cool! Thank you! The only place I've ever had these was The Crows Nest in Cincinnati. I lived there for a time studying bourbons. Made them for myself a few times. I like your method so much better. I have seen them on menus here and there and at a few big fairs so they get around. Does anyone proclaim "The Worlds First(best) Scottish Egg"

I just made some eggs today and even though it was simple,it was still awesome. Took four eggs,cooked em,chopped em while cooking,added some black pepper and onion powder,added four slices of cheese,added a liberal dashing of tabasco sauce on top of the cheese,mixed everything together,BAM! excellent lunch!

Slightly OT but this year's pullets are starting to lay. Double yolkers abound.

Always felt sorry for the hens...consider this...they give birth every day. No wonder they go bock, bock, bock when they hop off the nest after laying.

Whenever your Dr. says your cholesterol is getting dangerously low, I recommend this for breakfast. Fry some bacon, two slices will do, remove them, add salt and pepper to the pan and fry for about ten seconds, add a couple of tablespoons of flour and cook until golden, add your eggs and cook until desired doneness; I like once over lightly with a slice of American jalapeño cheese. Its quite a treat that I'll have a few times a year.

I'm with AndreaB; I could eat Pad Thai until I explode...but the category of food that I could eat and never get sick of is chicken livers, cooked anyway, anyhow....I'll devour pates, fried with onions and bacon, etc. I have to absolutely stay away from the stuff at special occasions when it is presented as an hors d'oeuvre, because I will literally polish over a pint of it without blinking!

Lone Star: Don't forget stratas..layer bread with veggies/meats/cheeses and pour over a mixture of eggs and milk.

The thing I could eat forever and not get tired of it? Pizza

And another egg dish I made this morning.. homemade breakfast sandwiches... fried eggs with ham and cheese on toasted buns.

If I have leftover mashed potatoes, sometimes I make a nest of them in buttered muffin tins or custard cups, then break an egg into the nest, sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little bit of butter and bake at 375 for about 10 minutes. Chopped up or ground ham mixed in with the potatoes is even better.

I love fried eggs on buttery toast, and I also love omlettes
filled with cheese, onions, and jalapenos and covered in salsa.
Food I could eat every day? Pad Thai with extra peanuts, bean sprouts, and green onions and made very hot.

I love sunny size up eggs. Or omelets. Eggs have to be over easy. I dont like them too done.

Eggs, the perfect food. We keep chickens and usually have quiche once per week and deviled eggs in the frig all the time. Pickled eggs we make on the weekends and sell to the local bars. Much higher profit margin than selling raw eggs.

this is very similar to a conversation that we have around the dinner table sometimes..
"if you were stranded on an island and could only have one or two foods with you - what would it/they be?"

mine is always the same-- pizza and beer-- i could eat pizza 3 times a day 24/7... love it...

good topic...:)

The sickest I've ever been was one night in college when I mixed Wild Turkey and cheap Fox Deluxe beer. I may be a Boilermaker but I sure can't drink them.

I could a hamburger every single day without a problem.

As for eggs, I despise them. I've never liked them from the time I was born. Just recently, I was able to eat potato salad and such without picking them out. I think its mental as I love a lot of foods that are made with eggs, but just cant stand the taste of them alone.

Lone Star: If you like Chinese, make Egg Drop Soup or Egg Foo Yung, or Fried Rice (most recipes take at least 2 eggs). To use egg whites, bake meringue-topped pies and meringue shells for fruit and make divinity candy. "Hide" a row of hard boiled eggs down the center of a meatloaf for a nice surprise. An old-time recipe is creamed eggs on toast (cut up hard boiled eggs in a cream sauce). Or, if all else fails, go to this website: http://www.aeb.org/recipes/index.html
