How do you like your eggs in the morning?

Following from the excellent English Breakfast thread, how do you like your eggs in the morning??

 

[Easy 10]

I like them pelted.
At Brian Barwick.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I like mine with a kiss

I like them pelted.
At Brian Barwick.

Although pelting fresh eggs at Barwick has some amusement as he gets covered in egg, pelting ones that have been excessively over boiled can also be fun, especially if you get Barwick between the eyes.

Who the hell has "roasted" eggs? Is this what you get served at the Soho Square canteen?

Reminds me of the comeback to the chat-up line "How do you like your eggs" as in a cheeky asumptiom that he would sleep with her...

"Unfertilized please"

Morning Heaven.

They are 'eggcellent' Superbez

How do you get your poached eggs to stay together?? Everytime I do mine I have loads off egg white left in the pan as it astarts to split when I put the raw egg in the boiling water.

Right. Firstly make sure the water is SLOWLY boiling. Really not bubbling all that much.

Then make a whirlpool by stirring the water but SLOWLY. Doing it too quick will disintergrate the egg (i used to believe the quick the whirlpool the better but it fails).

Drop the egg into the middle of the whirlpool and it will form nicely. Make sure it still is not over-boiling.

In no time you will have a perfect egg.

Calmness is the key my friend. Calmness.

Always wanted to try that, not got round to it yet.

Don't eat eggs often but if I do, poached is the only way

Boil the water until it's bubbling but not going mental, swirl the water round and drop the eggs as slowly as possible into the middle, some use vinegar to hold the eggs together, i have never had too though. Hard thing to get right, timing is everything

 

[Digweeds Trousers]

boiled with marmite soldiers

Can't beat Denny's for a steak and eggs breakfast

The single most important factor in a successful poaching experience is FRESHNESS! (of the egg, not your bodily parts - although that would probably improve the experience too.)
