Too much effort, particularly in making the hollandaise sauce. For me, it’s the humble eggs over easy :)

>Too much effort, particularly in making the hollandaise sauce.
This, however I prefer boiled.
Cracking is a pain in the ass, but you can cook a large number of them at once and they store longer.

>>18393949
Poached eggs are my favourite method

the heat from the egg cooks the egg

>>18394092
Boiled is very good but I like them a little undercooked so the yolks are creamy, which makes peeling really annoying. Over easy is less hassle

>>18393993
Hollandaise sauce is terrific but making it yourself is a different story. I also prefer the over easy as long as I have rye or sourdough toast to put it on

>>18393949
That garbage is too messy to eat

>>18394275
Go back to your Swiss cheese and ketchup sandwich, then, and let the adults talk.

You faggots thinking Hollandaise is difficult to make is preciously why I don't come here, but maybe once a week.

For me, it's eggs royale.

Awful.

This. You need a bowl, a saucepan, a whisk but a fork will do, and like 4 ingredients.

>>18393949
boiled. literally braindead

>>18394128
I've probably watched an hour of people poaching eggs on the internet, and I still can't make a good looking poached egg. I have to resort to the cling film hack to do a passable job.

>>18394436
I dont get it either, it easy to make. It doesn't even take that much time. I always get pissed at resturants that serve breakfast all day but exclude the eggs benidict after 11am because "the hollandaise sauce is too hard to make

>>18394314
i look like this and i say these things

>>18394900
That's because they made it at 7am and the four-hour period where you're allowed to store food without heating has elapsed.

>>18394639
You can't learn to plow by reading a book. Most people are overthinking poached eggs. You don't need vinegar or salt or anything else. Get a shallow skillet (the same one you would use for frying eggs), fill it with water, bring it to a very, very gentle simmer. Whisk your water into a vortex and then gently pour your egg in. Cook for 3 minutes. Pull it out with a slotted spoon.

>>18394594
You don't need a bowl. Just do it over direct heat, pussy.

>>18394193
If you don't want to fuck around with doing it in a pan, you can make a very good one in a blender in, I dunno, 2 minutes? Less time than it takes to poach an egg, that's for sure.

>>18394436
>>18394594
Do you know that it takes me to make a boiled egg?
An egg and a pot of hot water.

>>18394436
It's a pain in the ass if you're just cooking it for yourself.
It's good. But it has a poor shelf, uses weird ratios, it's not healthy, and it's inconvenient.
Frankly, I'm not cooking hollandaise unless I'm trying to get my dick wet.
Now stop acting like you're better than everyone else just because you love drinking butter sauce.

OVER EASY

IZZAT SOME EGGZ BENEDIX?

>>18393949
OHHH YEAH I LOVE ME SOME EGGZ BENEDIX

>>18393949

>>18393993
I make a cheat's hollandaise that's literally fool proof, takes five minutes and tastes 9/10 of the real thing.

>>18393949
I prefer souffle. Cheese. Chocolate. Fish. Whatever. Just puff them eggs up and serve me that shit.

>>18393949
I believe the question is what the most fun way to prepare an egg. The answer is obviously anything that involves flipping it in the air. So for me it's a two egg omelette. You have the fun of whisking eggs. The fun of flipping the egg so both sides cook, the fun of tossing it a bit so it flops over itself, the fun of sliding it off the pan. And you don't have to worry about over cooking it. (Short of burning it)

Two egg omelette.

>>18396576
> Yep. That's me.
> You're probably wondering how I got into this mess.

>>18393949
I agree. I always get it at diners because its good and the hardest thing on the menu to make at home. Why would I pay $10 for an omelet I can easily make myself, ya know?

Deviled

eggs bennie when someone else cooks them and knows how to cook them, such as at a good hotel breakfast

otherwise, egg butter or soft scramble on toast

>>18396100
Look at that gum-obliterating toast. Hope you like tasting blood!

>>18393949
Cheese Omelette for me.

>>18397261
Melt the better, add the lemon juice, temper the yolk/s and beat it all together with a dollop (or more, depending how much you're making) of mayonnaise. The mayonnaise prevents splitting. The only possible issue you could have is not tempering the yolk correctly and winding up scrambling them instead, but it's quick.

>>18394639
How do restaurants do it when doing bulk? Do they do them beforehand and then just reheat before serving?
