Usually fried but after I learned a fail save way to poach them in a pan i tend to enjoy then poached every once in a a while.

>>14765151
Thats not a basted egg. Thats a sunny side up egg that was covered

>>14765151
French omelette gang is the true patriarchy. Any other form of eggmaking is inferior

>>14765151
over easy, but I always fail at turning them over the correct way so I usually just settle for a sunny side up egg.

>>14765167
Isn't that what a basted egg is?

>>14765179
Grease up your spatula a little bit and then slide it under fast. Or just get good at flipping the pan.

>>14765179
Also, practice with a slice of bread in a pan, no heat, just trying to flip it over. Use your non dominant hand, pull the pan straight back, jerk it straight forward and flick your wrist. Takes a few tries to get the hang of it, but it's not a hard skill to learn.

Are you my supervisor at work?

>>14765173
I really couldn't believe how good these taste, even without butter they taste pretty good.

>>14765151
sunny side up, basted, over easy, over medium, yolks broken over medium, scrambled with velveeta cheese mixed in, yolks broken over medium on toast ranch style, over easy diced with toast.

I like eggs. A lot, Howard. I love eggs. I loooove eggs. I go into the coffee shop in the hotel and I love eggs. I order over easy eggs, (I like the eggs over easy). They never come over easy that's a hard egg to order, the over easy, if they're under easy they're disgusting. I only got one tooth there and if they're under easy they run down my face. So that's why I order a omelette."

>>14765425
Velveeta isn't cheese, you fat nigger

>>14765273
Ornament without substance. The eggs speak for themselves in a french omelette. Your poor taste speaks for itself

>>14765425
also as an omelette, scrambled with cheese and diced sausage in it, hard boiled, soft boiled, in breakfast burrito.

>>14765436
no one asked you so fuck off, I still like it. bite me faggot.

>>14765444
Eating velveeta cheese makes you a kindergartner desu

Crackem straight into a scorching hot pan, remove from heat, spread thin, and cook them almost instantly.
Toss on toast or a tortilla. Scrambled eggs in less than 3 minutes.

>>14765460
sorry not insulted. not going to stop. but does it make you feel better to call me names?

>>14765520
I feel great now that I know who I'm talking to

>>14765441
Truly absurd that you find ham, cheese, peppers and onions, all which complement the egg, "ornamental". You're worse than a tastelet, you're a tastelet who doesn't even know he's a tastelet, a complete and total poser. Now, if you're going to eat just eggs, poached and basted are the only acceptable ways to go. One could argue that you're not "letting the egg speak for itself", with a French omelette, since butter is every bit as part of the dish as the egg. You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about, and I'm sure you only just today made a decent French style omelet for the first time in your life, and now you think you're some master chef.

>>14765529
I'm glad to hear it. enjoy the festering swamp you might call a soul.

>>14765464
I hate that that's how we typically scramble eggs in America. Low and slow, constant stirring and a lot of butter, maybe some cheese, that's how you scramble an egg.

>>14765540
Why not just make a quesadilla with your tortilla, ham, peppers, onions and cheese? Why include the egg at all when it's in fact ornamenting the supplemental ingredients in your fucked up amateur omelette? There's also salt, as well as butter, in a french omelette but are you going to sit there on your fat dimply ass and argue that the primary flavor isn't EGGS? My guess is you've never actually made a french omelette in your life, you fucking fool, and you favor your Denver omelette because the flavors of the ham and peppers/onions/cheese hide your amateur egg work

>>14765541
Lol im just kidding stupid, velveeta rocks

>>14765273
That egg is burned. Disgusting!

>>14765173
Voila: The Master demonstrates two different omelettes.

https://youtu.be/s10etP1p2bU

>>14765151
Scrambled in butter if I want to really enjoy the egg itself (or if paired with salty bacon and stuff)
Poached if I want that delicious yolk goodness, maybe to dip stuff in

eggs are cheap and cool

>>14765190
NO!

>>14765621
Jacques really is a fucking chad

>>14765441
If you can't taste the eggs' distinct flavor in a Denver omelet, then you simply don't know how to cook eggs properly.

>>14765664
Jacques, through his videos and books is almost entirely responsible for my cooking education. A bit from here, a bit from there, but the basics, the core... I learned from Jacques.

>>14765645
I was going to make fun of the intro but I wouldn't trust a woman without a shitty intro and a ton of pointless rambling to make a good basted egg.

>>14765697
Never underestimate the power of a woman who knows her kitchen.

>>14765151
long

Give me devilled or give me death.

>>14765151
Over easy or scrambled with cream cheese

>>14765706
wait, what?

>>14765569
Where do you see a tortilla? What does a tortilla have to do with anything?

>>14765785
Just for you anon.... It's in Nazi, but you'll get the idea.

He added the non sequitur in order to confuse the issue, to hide the abject stupidity of his hastily cobbled together troll remarks.

>>14765158
please share

>>14765807
I'm more pissed he said quesadillas instead of breakfast burritos

scrambled, with ketchup

>>14765621
YaY! The country type is the type I make and have perfected over the years. The classic type I have yet to try, but I have like a 2 month supply of eggs, so I think I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow. Looks so soft and fluffy. I like how he stabs the egg yokes the same way I do before mixing, but the fork scraping not he pan kind of triggers me. I hate the metal on metal sound!
Pepin is truly based.

>>14765621
that second one is ridiculously perfect, literally shames other omelettes

>>14765151

S-Rank = Scrambled
A-Rank = Deviled
B-Rank = Over Easy

>>14765151
Fertilized

test

>>14766067
You grab the pan you fry your eggs in, it needs, to be taller than the eggs so the water covers then. You heat it up to a simmer, not a boil once you see the tiny bubble pop up you are done, add the eggs keeping the simmer going and cook to your desired consistency, the bottom cooks faster than the top which help keep the whites cooked while the yolks are still runny, it might take you a couple of tries to know when they are done but once you do you can't go wrong.
Much better than the bulshit "stir" method.

Poached, soft boiled and slow scrambled and any variation of friend are the only way to cook an egg.

>>14768508
>any variation of friend

>>14765151
baste

>>14765282
that's how i make my over-easy eggs

Fried on low heat, then add a bit of water and cover so the steam cooks over the yolk. I guess you would call it steamed egg unless theres a fucking term for it

>>14765167
The covered egg is called "steam basted"

Just sunny side up in olive oil

>>14765151
Covered in seeds

Preserved mixed and folded

eggs in a nest

>used to eat eggs almost every morning
>suddenly start fucking it up constantly
>it's either still raw, or overcooked and turned into plastic
>sometimes both at the same time
>now eggs always disgust me
>only eat carb shit or leftovers in the morning

>>14769437
Just scramble them if you're so inept

>>14769440
If he cant leave an egg alone on low heat until its fully cooked do you really think he’s capable of moving both the pan and egg around to produce a properly cooked scrambled egg?

>>14769486
I'm assuming they are picky about snot and don't know how to baste/cover their eggs right, finnicky proccess etc, scrambled is over in less than a minute

>>14769440
>>14769486
both of those feel like shit
I had almost perfected the first one in this video >>14765621 but I kept fucking it up lately, that made me never want eggs made in a pan again.
I still like soft boiled or poached eggs tho.

>>14769437
what you have to realize is the damn thing is cooked in 40 seconds

>>14768484
>>Does not have a dedicated poaching steamer, with mini cups

>>14766487
A French omelet is very creamy and decadent, but I really prefer the large curds in a country omelet/scrambled eggs because of the texture.

>>14765433
I pity the fool that don't like eggs!

>>14765686
Don't forget his good friend Julia Child.

>>14765151
Incredibly based

>>14765637
Cute lizard, it would be weird if it had flames shooting out of its mouth.

>>14765151
>tfw the cook is so bad at flipping the egg they try to pass this off as over easy
Don't think I can't tell the difference you fucking shitter.

Over-medium master race

Over medium. One flip to set the whites but leave the yolks runny.

>>14770015
how long do you leave that face-down to achieve the result? I always end up with fried eggs

Over hard, with Tabasco sauce

scrambled
literally the only acceptable way

>>14765173
this

at two of the best restaurants ever i worked at, the test of skill was to cook an omlette

i don't care how they come, the more the better.

I like my eggs crispy on the bottom and edeges, fluffy whites and creamy yolks

> Mid high heat
> Plenty of olive oil into hot pan
> eggs in. pan should be hot enough that whites bubble immediately
> coarse salt (flaky best), pepper, chilli flakes and your choice of herb (I like thyme)
> Don't touch egg, let it sit, once edges are crispy and white is cooked through it will disconnect from the pan easily.
> if whites aren't cooked, you can baste with hot oil. shouldn't be needed though, if it is lower heat slightly for next time.
> perfectly done yolks should be barely set and creamy on the bottom, custardy in the middle and runny on top
> finish with some high quality olive oil on top.
> wala (pic related)

>>14769646
I tried the classic omelette twice this morning. While they came out pretty tasty, the second one softer, I still feel like I didn't get the creamy almost cordless texture I was looking for. Maybe my pan wasn't hot enough? My second attempt was close, though. Either way my audience was pleased.

>>14770150

Just a bit, like 10 or 15 seconds.

>>14765151
scrambled.

A good omelet is also acceptable.

Fried over easy or scrambled. If have time a la mexicana or omelette

>>14765273
I’m from Denver and I’ve always thought this dumb. Thanks for reading my blog

>>14770938
no problem, bro. would you like to read mine? getting 'texas' shit outside of the state is embarrassing. ooh. pepper jack cheese. wow. the mildest jalapeno you could conjure. great.

>>14765151
hard boiled, two of 'em every morning before work. got a cheapo standalone hard boiled egg cooker and it was one of the best purchases i've made in years. ain't even gotta look at the things.
but if i've the time and the urge, messily fried in a little bacon grease is top tier.

>>14769434
Best reply in the whole thread.
Unspeakably based.

>>14765179
Over easy fried in butter
Use a small nonstick pan and there's no need for a spatula. A flip with the wrist is dead easy with a six inch pan. And almost never breaks the yolk

>>14765748

a glorious choice

also: chinese steamed egg

>>14769602
I don't like unitaskers, and I'm too poor to afford them.

>>14770224
Based /ck/ old guy referencing old things

>>14771103

weak choice imo. century egg or bust.

>>14768484
thank you anon :) I will try it

>>14765621
that relentless fork-scraping on a nonstick of all things triggered me something special
I don't CARE that it's not truly that big a deal I just HATE it

>>14765645
never knew that had a name. I do that with bacon grease.
