Next week is British Egg Week, so we'd like to know how you like to eat yours...Do you like your eggs over easy, hard-boiled, with soldiers or coddled? Maybe you have a really unusual way of eating your eggs or have serving suggestions or tips to pass on to others..If so, we want to know!

On a normal day I love a soft boiled egg and soldiers but on a more special occasion I love scrambled egg, chopped spring onion and smoked salmon with lots of freshly ground black pepper on a bagel... mmmmmm...

eggs benedict, yummy!!!any time any place...

just a plain fried egg,soft yolk to dip my bacon butty in,and a dash of salt because egg and salt go together like Jeni and Gino?!!

I only eat hard boiled or scrambled eggs.

I love to mix chopped boiled egg with cottage cheese.
Dont knock it til youve tried it !

Omelette, with cheese, mushrooms or prawns. Another fav is Oeufs au nid/duchesse, a nest of cheesey mash with the egg in the middle, topped with butter then baked in the oven.

Curried eggs, hard boiled in a creamy curry sauce.

I am also very partial to pickled eggs

A plain omelette with salad - best served in a beautiful cafe in Antibes overlooking the square, I had several on my recent holiday there. The French do know how to make an omelette I have to say. Alternatively a Spanish omelette with fries in a restaurant overlooking the beach or swimming pool!

If cooking myself a fried egg with a runny yolk on a slice of toast - the egg has to be runny - yummy!!

Is that a recipe or an account of your holidays?

Hi,
Try this to go with a breakfast fry up! This is a idea i came up with while lying in bed this morning deciding on a full ulster or toast & cereal.The ulster fry won!!!
Get some LARGE field mushrooms,dont peel them,just wash & dry them.brush with butter on the top.season with pepper only. Remove the stalks,save for topping or discard.
Part cook in the oven for a couple of min.Turn the mushrooms gill side up.Carfully top with a fresh,uncooked egg.Sprinkle with chives & pop back in the oven until cooked to your liking.
Serve on a slice of toast or potato bread,drizzle with the mushroom juice from the pan.
OR top with cheese & grill for a teatime treat.
EN-JOY!!!

I wonder if this would work with duck eggs?
Merv

My favourite is Mezemem (I think thats how its spelt) its a combination of tomatoes, green peppers and scrambled eggs that I used to have in Turkey for breakfast, its the most devine breakfast.
But then again so is soft yolk fried egg with tomatoe sauce (ketchup) and worcester sauce…… mmm…… I think I might have that for dinner tonight!

Mervyn, course it would work with duck eggs, but with our good weather this afternoon, you too could have done the same on a barbie -- course the potato bread mightn't work so well on that!!

I'm a pure and simple kind of guy where eggs are concerned...hard boiled (to an inch of their lives) and sliced on wholemeal bread...nothing else is better!

give me a smelly egg sandwich any day, hard boiled eggs mashed up with a little mayo, salt and pepper, put on wholemeal bread with cress, yummy

I'm trying to remember a dish my mother used to make when we were young - grated cheese and grated onion on a pyrex plate, sprinkled with Worcester sauce and then an egg broken into it at the middle then put in the oven until cooked
We used to have it regularly for supper and it was delicious
I wonder why I have suddenly remembered it ???????
Nowdays I like my egg soft boiled with toast or wholemeal bread but I also like it like chocy flower's favourite

PS : Doesn't Merv's recipe sound mouth watering - going to try that over the weekend - thanks Merv

Jilly,
Glad you like the idea.The dish worked ok,but you have to make sure the mushroom does'nt break of the uncooked egg will leak out,& get the biggest mushrooms you can.
Just had a thought ( & it hurt!! ) How about putting some good cheese,maybee a stilton or a runny cheese between the mushroom & the egg & then cooking it.Then put a holandaise over the lightly cooked egg & finishing under the grill?mmmmmm......I think i'll try that,but without the stilton!cant eat it!gives me the......
Kromus,think i might try the duck eggs,if i can get them !

One dish which evokes joyous childhood memories for me is beansprouts stir fried with a little garlic and seasoned with some white pepper and just a little bit of light soy sauce. Now here's what makes the dish.. Fry an egg (or 2!) and top the beansprouts the fried egg(s) - But the eggs MUST be sunny side up with the yolk still runny. Sprinkle with a bit more soy sauce and some sesame oil so that when the egg is broken, the yolk runs all over the beansprouts. When eaten with plain rice - you have crunch from the beansprouts, softness from the egg, colours from the contrast between the yellow yolk mixed with the beansprouts and lovely lovely flavours.

I'm salivating just thinking about it

oh,I love a fried egg with my ulster fry,but i dont like them swimming in fat as fried food messes up my tum & well,enough said.
So what i do is put a bit of butter & olive oil in a yorkshire pud tin,heat it & pop in my eggs & into the oven!
They come crisp at the edges,semi soft in the yolk & perfectly round to boot!
Merv

Merv, thought I would make your meal for the OH this morning --- have to say although the mushrooms looked really big at the start, by the time I turned them over and cracked the egg on them, it kept slippimg off the mushroom! OH wasn't impressed but I really enjoyed it

I loved the eggs I used to be able to get from a local "hen keeper" - they were fresh, big FAT golden yolks, tasted wonderful (didn't matter how you cooked/used them) ..but they don't sell them any more.. since then I've gone right off eggs, since all the supermarket ones, & even the ones sold in farm shops (as free-range) are not a patch on those lovely ones I once had.

I have to say I like my eggs hard boiled with a salad, scrambled on toast or fried but the yolk has to be broken and cooked solid otherwise I won't touch it. Omelettes are ok if they only contain cheese. Fussy I know, I am told often enough.

Hi Kromusdomus,
Glad you liked it.I tried scooping out the stalk a bit to make a well.I suppose duck eggs would work better as they're smaller.
Merv

Merv, this is a permanent on my menu I did scoop out the stalk to make a well, but maybe the jumbo egg was a tadge too big I'll try the cheese version, but will make sure I buy even bigger mushrooms. Krom

I always thought duck eggs were larger than chicken ones.
