You can do a lot just scrambling eggs  
AP in Halfmoon : 5/27/2016 8:42 am : link
Onions, peppers, spinach, meat, cheeses, etc. Just don't overcook them. I usually microwave the ingredients for 30 seconds + - before adding to the eggs

Chilaquiles or matzo brei...

The roll is really important here - you need something that is white, hard, but NOT crispy, fresh (preferably out of the oven) - slather BOTH sides of that mother fucker with an obscene amount of salted, softened butter.

MORE butter in the pan. At LEAST 1tbsp - Scrambled or over medium - still wet - that's a perfect eggs sandwich ala Harry's Corner - those of you from the meadowlands region will remember this killer little diner.

(yes, the sign on this creepy little dive DOES say "Bring the Children!" - was my favorite roadside joint EVER)

1 large celery stalk, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced

my standard egg is what the wife calls a pokem. crack the egg, then poke the yoke until it breaks and spreads out. flip it halfway through. if you like a dry egg, cook it longer. has a different flavor than scrambled. I like mine in sandwich form on toast with cheese and corned beef (real, not imitation deli meat, preferably that's been slow cooked with potatoes, carrots and cabbage).

Speaking of breakfast  
AP in Halfmoon : 5/27/2016 10:00 am : link
I'm working on perfecting corned beef hash. At this point, the best method is simple. Cook and shred real corned beef, dice pre-boiled red potatoes and a sweet onion. Add onion and potatoes with butter and fry about 5 minutes before adding shredded corned beef. Turn the heat for the last 2 or so minutes. It works much better in a cast iron pan or griddle if you have one. Add some pepper to taste and top with 2 eggs over easy.

When in season, nothing beats scrambled eggs with feta and tomato  
jcn56 : 5/27/2016 10:55 am : link
out of season tomatoes just shouldn't be eaten, ever.

The standard jcn breakfast is a denver style omelette with egg whites, canadian bacon, diced peppers, onions and mushrooms with a slice of low fat American cheese included. Boring as shit, but plenty of protein, just a little fat and not much in the way of carbs.

I would totally kill an eggs benedict right now, but at a cost of 75,000 calories.

In a pan melt some butter,
take a slice of white or wheat bread and with a glass cookie cut the center out.
Place both pieces of bread in pan and add a raw egg in the circle hole of the bread. Salt to flavor.
Fry until egg cooks
flip over and continue frying until done.do not burn Flip little round piece too.
Now when done put on plate. You have what looks like toast but has an egg in the middle and a piece of round toast for dipping
if you want or you can make it well done
either way it's fantastic.

on scrambled eggs, on a toasted roll. My go to for breakfast. Can add spinach, tomot (well drained) and pesto.

The usual ham/bacon, cheese, peppers and onions/scallions for a frittata.

Eggs are also the prime ingredient in souffle's. Chocolate or cheese are awesome, and easy to make, but take more time.

Friday, I really wanted an egg salad sandwich and I was just obsessing about it and I was like, 'Man, I'm gonna make one of those.' So Saturday, I went out and got, like, a dozen eggs and then I boiled them all and I just, I spent, I dunno, probably three hours, like three and a half hours making, you know, the mayonnaise, and the onions and paprika and, you know, the necessary accoutrement. And then, by the time I was done, I didn't really feel like like eating it.

liteamorn : 5/27/2016 1:55 pm : link
When you blacken fish (I blacken striped bass) you use a good well seasoned cast iron skillet.

After you blacken your fish and the skillet cools don't clean it, you can put it in the refrigerator if you worry about things like that (I don't). I scramble my eggs in that skillet in the morning, off the wall good. I also only use farm fresh eggs, the taste is so much different.

Sous vide poached eggs  
Bill L : 5/27/2016 4:31 pm : link
Or, for a different txt use just slight higher than poached.

Also I had this dish at a place in San Diego called Juniper and Ivy which was largely deviled eggs. But the cool thing was that they didn't make regular hard whites; rather, they made a cooked meringue out of the whites, hollowed them, and filled them with deviled yolks (a little caviar on top to garnish). It was a pretty cool texture.
I have absolutely no memory of that line whatsoever

that I'd like to try, but while I have no problem spending a whole afternoon cooking, I never seem to be willing to spend an hour or more on breakfast. Maybe I should make them for dinner some day.
Sous vide is worth it for the poached eggs alone  
jcn56 : 5/27/2016 8:38 pm : link
Nothing beats being able to poach a bunch of them effortlessly, and Serious Eats has a breakdown of the differences in firmness based on time and temp. With a little tweaking, you can get them done exactly the way you like 'em every single time.

Try breaking up time consuming breakfast preps into two stages. Like cook things like mushrooms, onions, spinach, broccoli, zukes, potatoes or any other veggies you might want inside a fritatta or omelette a day ahead of time. Hell grate the cheese also the day before.

Then even a complicated fritatta shouldn't take more than 30 mins...

David in LA : 5/30/2016 12:55 am : link
you fill the filo dough with onion, tuna, and harissa sauce (you can fill it with a variety of other meats and vegetables). Crack an egg and empty the contents on top. Wrap up the filo dough, and then you deep fry it. It's kind of like a samosa, except it has runny egg goodness when you cut it open. There's a restaurant by me that makes them, and there's even one with duck.
