February 13, 20214 yr We had two different neighbors give us eggs this week, so now I have two dozen fresh laid eggs. I made a simple breakfast sandwich with one today and it was damn good, but I feel like I should do something special with these. I really like doing to the prosciutto, egg, and parm in a muffin pan thing (I don’t know if they have a name, we call them breakfast cupcakes). I was looking at shakshuka / eggs in purgatory recipes and those look good. I’m not a huge frittata fan (the eggs seem over cooked). What are your favorite make-at-home egg dishes?
February 13, 20214 yr Make eggnog, stick it in the back of your fridge until Christmas. Use the whites to make pisco sours.
February 13, 20214 yr The most underrated cuisine in the world https://istanbulonfood.com/menemen-recipe/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menemen_(food) sometimes i do spanish tortilla (omelette, not flatbread), a la Jose Andres Edited February 13, 20214 yr by 52-80
February 13, 20214 yr I do a lot of lazy omelettes. Sautée whatever veggies we have around, whisk some eggs, pour them on top, throw in cheese and spices and you have a hell of a breakfast. Super versatile. You can eat as is, or throw in a tortilla.The best is when you fry up bacon and do the eggs in the grease
February 13, 20214 yr just made a sausage patty, egg omelet of onion/mushroom sandwich. Quarter pound of regular ground pork, added some syrup along with other spices, then toasted normal double fiber bread. The eggs though, holy shit I need to find some better options up here in the city. Prices are insane for average eggs and "AA" ones are non-existent except for at costco and they are only medium size. Was just home in Austin and the options/prices blew my mind. Anyway, just saw on IG that a hs friend started a new chicken coop business in Austin and if I'm ever back I'll try to get some from her. Did not know egg shells can be so blue-ish.

February 13, 20214 yr A lot of times I will fry some bacon or brown some sausage. Heat up some refried beans. Beans in the bottom of a bowl, followed by the meat. Then I fry a few eggs over easy in the leftover grease and put on top of all of that. Garnish with some avocado, green onion or sautee a white onion. Layer on hot sauce of your choice. Easy and tasty.

February 13, 20214 yr Author Make eggnog, stick it in the back of your fridge until Christmas. Use the whites to make pisco sours. Not a bad idea. I lost my aging eggnog in a four day power outage.

It’s a variant of shakshouka, which is what you mentioned as something you wanted to try. Is your goal to to make the most fanciful dish ever? Ham and cheese (“prosciutto and parm”) isn’t exactly exotic either….
February 14, 20214 yr Eggs in the basket are my go-to breakfast. Have some bacon or sausage on the side if you like. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a32292159/eggs-in-a-basket-recipe/

February 14, 20214 yr my dad on occasion will bring a couple dozen yard eggs when he visits. i have made a potato, onion and asparagus frittata with feta. obviously cube and cook the potatoes first. i like the stove-top method, just make sure your pan is really well oiled and cook on low to med-low.
February 14, 20214 yr Creme Brulee is a good way to go through some eggs. 5-6 yolks for 4 ramekin servings. Freeze the whites for omelets or something else.

This particular one was on a baguette, which I thought looked pretty tasty, rather than the more traditional sliced bread. I'd probably go with more than one fried egg though, on such a large sandwich roll. Here's the recipe, I hope your French isn't too rusty. http://recettes-vegetariennes.over-blog.com/2016/07/baguette-croque-madame-vegetarien.html?utm_source=_ob_share&utm_medium=_ob_pinterest&utm_campaign=_ob_sharebar

February 14, 20214 yr Scotched eggs are a favorite, takes a little effort so I don't do them often, breakfast tacos much easier/quicker. Before we moved south used to go to Chez Zee in Austin on weekends and always had the eggs commodore. Basically just eggs benedict with sausage instead of Canadian bacon, but was damn good.
February 14, 20214 yr shakshuka or quiche, imo. Or poached on avocado toast. Or sous vide the yolks, make an egg toast and put some steak tartare on top of it.
February 14, 20214 yr We have been on the avocado toast and poached egg kick the past couple of weeks.

You want an unhealthy amount of fat left for the eggs after. remove bacon, drain, dice/cut up. - https://www.seriouseats.com/2012/02/thai-style-omelet-khai-jiao.html - Ten seconds after the eggs flip, add bacon and rice and toss, breaking up the eggs and coating the rice in all the fatty goodness. - top with green onions or chives if you want to pretend it's healthy. no pics but it ain't rocket science. The little bit of acid tangy from the thai eggs is awesome with the bacons bacon-ness. The egg texture varies from crispy edges to soft.
February 14, 20214 yr Egg salad sandwiches are great. We have a local place that makes a great one, they sell enough you don’t have to worry about how long it’s been in the walk-in cooler.
