How do you like your fried eggs?

[Alpha Omicron]

I'm using what is apparently North American terminology. See Wikipedia.

[PatrickRsGhost]

I prefer them unfertilized scrambled hard.

[Hammer]

Over medium.

[clintonius]

Mmm, over-easy -- nice and runny, so I can sop up the yolk with toast.

[Gentlelady]

Or you can put the eggs over hash browns and let the yolk get all sorts of friendly with the potatoes.

Back when I ate eggs this was how I liked them. Nomnom. Just a little salt and pepper and a nice runny yolk to mop up.

[Zohar]

I prefer an omlette. Either with nothing but salt and pepper, or veggies. I don't like herbs too much.

Otherwise, I suppose over-easy.

[PhatPhungus]

Toad in the hole.

Edit: apparently in England that means something very different than what I mean. I am referring to this, which is called Egg in the Basket according to wikipedia, and I have also heard called rocky mountain toast.

On someone else's plate.

Even before I did the vegetarian thing, I just never really liked eggs. I think it was the fats in the yolk. Something always made me want to gag when I ate them. I could handle hard-boiled egg whites, sometimes, or occasionally scrambled with lots of other things involved, but that was my limit.

Tee hee. I know it as "peekaboo toast," a term perhaps coined by mother, and at least certainly used by her when I was about two years old.

I swear I've mentioned these things somewhere else in this subforum...

[Brother Maynard]

Hard yolks make me vomit, so I usually scramble my eggs before frying them to somewhere between medium/easy.

We called 'em bullseyes

[Chobbes]

Over hard or medium, pinch of salt while it's cooking, pepper on the plate with a few droplets of light soy or Maggi brand sauce.

[SecondTalon]

As I said in the egg thread..

...Over hard. Slightly burned is nice. I like it when my eggs can sometimes double as self-defense weaponry.

Why am I not merging this? Because Fried is the correct choice and worthy of discussion.

[SecondTalon]

Oh, and reiterating what I said in the other egg thread..

Re: Unfertilized. It was funny the first time, and I have no intentions of letting it go on to the 27th time when it'd be funny again. So don't bother making that joke again. Or I'll point and laugh at you. A lot. And get some friends to point and laugh at you, right after I make some. That's right, I'll go out and socialize just so I and my friends can all point and laugh at you.

That or poached.

My step-father called them "sheep's eye".

I like my eggs over easy... but they have to be flipped back yolk-up to serve. So I can cut the whites away and smoosh the yolk over my toast.

Why not sunny side up then?

[mr_pathetic]

I like them a number of ways (Omlettes, scrambled with stuff), but over easy is usually my favorite.

But omlettes and scrambled eggs are ways of frying eggs, not ways of preparing "fried eggs". (Terminology surrounding fried eggs is weird, at least in North America.)

Because I like my whites really well cooked, but the yolk runny. I know, I'm weird

[aleflamedyud]

Scrambled with corn and onions.

[Alpha Omicron]

Scrambled with corn and onions.

But that's not "fried eggs"...

[L33tsaber]

I usually fry mine sunny-side-up, but I also like egg-in-the-basket.

[Jacque]

Over medium or over hard (and preferably on a burger, or in a breakfast sandwich).

[podbaydoor]

My boyfriend introduced me to fried eggs over easy and I won't have them any other way. I love the smooth, runny yolk. Mopping it up with toast. Mm.

[Rheum]

Sunny-side up, English-style. But I only have it like that if I'm cooking, as everyone else always gives me a crispy white and a completely raw yolk. *blergh*
I like scrambled eggs, but just-set. Never fully well-done so they resemble pieces of fried brain.

[Amarantha]

Also, on chips¹. *eats chips'n'eggs, dipping chips into yolk*

1. Aka fries. Not crisps.
