First, you are a heathen for over cooking boiled eggs, but secondly i'll give you a tip, when doing scramble eggs don't add salt until the end, you won't end up with that watery stuff.

- Boil them for 5min leaving them runny as
- Break 1 or 2 into a piping hot soup I made, sometimes stir after, sometimes not
- Sunny side up to slap on a homemade burger, buttered bread (+ ham&cheese) or just to devour with salt n pepa
Never hard boil them myself, I get those from the super market as a snack:
There was a time when I thought 'man, I wish I was at my grandmas right now to have some overeasy eggs. wait a minute, I'm 28 and can make them whenever I want!'. A significant change in my life.

i learned the "proper" way of cooking scrambled eggs from a chef friend. basically, you stir and cook it like a risotto. You also put salt towards the end since salt will make the eggs run in the beginning. Add some heavy cream and it will be super fluffy, delicious scrambled egg. put it on top of toast and done.

Scrambled most of time out of convenience and wide meal applications.
Crack eggs
Add some water
Add some peri peri salt
Beat
Heat pan
Add ~1tbs Butter and Olive oil to pan
Add little grated cheese and beat one more time
Pour
Scramble
Enjoy!
Though I do love me a good over medium egg if I am going to have some bread to dunk in the yolk.

Eggs is like the swiss army knife of food, so many ways depending on loads of other shit like which meal, what are you serving them with, are you hungover etc etc etc. Sure breakfast eggs are fried scrambled poached boiled omelette (ask someone to make you an omelette if you're wondering if they can cook), en cocotte...but so much else besides. Oeufs en meurettes, devilled, souffles, quiches. You know the pleats in the classic chefs hat or toque, each pleat used to symbolize another way that chef knew how to prepare an egg, so when you become a boss you have a shitton of pleats. And buy good eggs, the really good ones have tough shells and the thickest, deepest coloured yolks and they taste better. Upping your egg game is a pretty accessible way to really improve your eating and is an easy and cheap way to impress egg amateurs. Magic ingredient.

boiled eggs: make sure eggs are at room temp, cook it for 6min 45s on medium boil, water boiling before you put them in, after cooking quickly put them into a bowl of cold water for about 5min the result will be creamy delicious eggs.
scrambled eggs: diced long green onions and tomatoes with some chorizo so fucking good.

Have some boiled ones in the fridge usually for quick breakfast protein. Make them the Instant Pot--5 minutes at high pressure, 5 minutes of rest before releasing pressure and 5 minute ice water soak to make them easier to peel.
Otherwise usually scrambled (usually no cheese) or over easy.

My answer - over hard, but not burnt.

Always omelette, with some cheese, salt n pepper, bacon/ham/something similar, maybe some onion or capsicum if I have it.

Messing that up takes a really special level of skill to fail.
It's fried bread, with a hole and an egg.

My 5 Hens put up six eggs this morning. One of these britches is double dipping, all 5 of them deserve an award, but whomstever dat britch is deserves 1st place.
I usually go 1tb butter, chopped meat, over easiums, covered for 4 minutes, on a few shingles. Oh, and lots of ketchup.

Eggs benedict when wife or I can be arsed on the weekend. Usually omelettes or scrambled for brekky before kids go to school. Poached or hard boiled if with a salad.
I wish I could be fucked making scotch eggs, those things are wicked good.
It's easier than you think, i make these all the time. Watch the brilliant Chef John:
Also your egg should be runny not hard boiled like in the pic.

I don't eat eggs often, but when I do at a restaurant, it's scrambled only.
Never liked sunny side up. You get a big oozing yolk which might be runny and undercooked.

4 eggs in a bowl, add some milk and cheese. Stir it up. In the micro for 4 mins. Then season. Instant delicious scrambled eggs
Runny eggs only exist if you have toast underneath

Benedict FTW!
Soft boiled scotch eggs made with black pudding mixed with the sausage meat.
Which ever way you cook them, if they're whole then they should have soft yolks, hard cooked yolks are for heathens.

Runny yolk. Usually enclosed in the white. That’s without ketchup. Witch ketchup, scrambled.
Could use an egg sandwich. Toast. Suh good.

When I was stationed in Germany, my son ate the fuck out of these. Idk why this hasn't caught on here in the US.
