Butter is good for you, margarine is not. Grass-fed butter tastes like heaven. I cook eggs slowly in pure butter. Could not be yummier.
During WWII my Father got a reprimand from the Battalion C.O.
His crime? He traded some candy to a German kid for some eggs. For some reason unknown to me, they were easy to sabotage.
My Daughter and her family raise chickens. They live in a near rural area. They always give a lot away as they cannot eat all they have.
...which is best achieved when fried in butter, mmmm!
This should be posted in hard scrambled news.
Not when the kids are throwing them at the front door because it’s the first Halloween where you’re in your own place and you didn’t buy enough candy to hand out because you didn’t know there were so many kids in the neighborhood so you turned off the porch light and hid behind the couch while the little angels were outside in a mob screaming “We know you’re in there and we want candy!” and you start to wonder if maybe you can give them cans of Campbell’s Chicken With Stars soup but you realize they’d probably throw the soup cans at the window and what kid walks around with eggs on Halloween and then you see your neighbor Bob out behind his pickup handing out eggs to the kids so you forget there are kids with eggs out there waiting for you and you open the front door and some kid who’s going to grow up to be a Cy Young winner pelts you in the puss with an egg and you get yolk up your nose and pass out because you can’t breathe and Bob is giving the kids a can of gasoline and some matches and the police come and haul you off for frightening children and you have to call your wife at work to come and bail you out and she’s there at the front of the police station tapping her foot with her arms crossed because she married a man who frightens children and you ride home in silence to find that Bob gave the kids magic markers and they wrote swear words that even you didn’t know on your door and your wife hands you a pail of soapy water and a rag and says to not let the already dried eggs dry on the door because they’ll be harder to get off and they are and you’re trying to wipe off the dirty words and dried eggs while thinking about stuffing eggs and magic markers down Bob’s throat. So, sometimes eggs aren’t so good.
I like butter best, but my granny always used bacon grease, which was very good.
I’m with ya!
Eggs Benedict for me, every time.
Too bad you can’t get it any more. I’m only up to making it on rare occasions.
The main thing I stay away from; having fried foods with sugary drinks. For oil, I use olive oil. Butter not margarine. I also try to eat few starchy carbs (bread, pasta, potato’s, rice).
Outside that, it’s fruit, nuts, veggies, and meat - any meat. That and stay active, power walking is great with some light strength exercises.
So nothing wrong with eggs. Same for coffee :)
My mom used to make eggs like that, crispy around the edges and a clear or slightly cloudy covering over the yoke.
So tell me, how do you make them like that?
We have Silver Diner in the East, and they do a great Crabcake Benedict. It seems to have become one of those ‘off menu’ things you have to ask for.
Sounds great.
Every purported “Hollandaise” I’ve seen since I got back in 2006 has resembled nothing so much as canned chicken gravy.
Here is how I cook mine, which are called Black Eggs:
Bacon fat, about a quarter inch worth, nice and hot, but not smoking.
Drop the eggs in, salt.
Enough black pepper to make the eggs more black than white.
Add crushed red pepper to eggs while the whites are still runny. If you wait until the whites cook, you waited too long.
Cook until the edges are crispy and brown, and baste the runny whites around the yolk liberally with hot bacon grease.
Remove eggs, Place buttered sourdough or scali bread butter side down into the hot bacon grease, and fry until crispy on one side.
My grandmother used to spoon the fat over the tops of the eggs as they cooked. And she used a lot of fat. The yolks came out pinkish without flipping.
I baste them with the hot bacon grease...:)
Don’t worry about the green stuff. Nobody eats parsley.
And Eggs Benedict is always awesome.
Runny yoke=correct. Runny whites=disgusting.
And, of course, voluminous bacon should always be included...
That sounds wonderful!
