Correct, but instead of the garbage I feed them to my dog. She will eat anything.

You should try them with smoked beef tallow. DELICIOUS!



I tried that once with some smoked brisket tallow and the smoke threw me off on the egg. I do love them with tallow tho. Also try it with schmaltz (chicken tallow) for a changeup.

Mom always made them browned like that.

Sometimes I get the craving for them like that.

Prefer it the other way with grits though

I like both. Actually had a couple like #1 on some rice for dinner tonight. I like the extra crispy bites.

Try a new method to fry. Crack eggs and place in container, I use measuring cup. Pour in non stick pan with melted butter on low to med/low and cover with glass top.

The whites will cook first then the yoke will begin to form white haze beginning at the bottom working its way up. Halfway up is over easy and all the way up is over med.

Aren't over easy/over medium eggs.... turned over?

Pic #1 is how my mother always cooked eggs when I was a kid and I hated them with those crispy edges and damn near dried out yolk.

I cook my eggs over easy at most and if I scramble eggs, I like them still a little moist and not dried out in a hard scramble like my wife likes them.

We were watching Jacques Pepin one night and he was cooking a few different types of omelets and every one of them was pretty wet when he plated them. All my wife could say was 'No way I'm eating that".

That first picture isn’t really scorched/burner like you’re making it out to be. It’s just cooked with crispy edges.

Limp French fries vs browned/crispy ones, you wouldn’t say the crispy fries are scorched.

When I want a better fried egg, this is what I do, or just put a piece of foil over the top real quick, the steam makes it probably a hybrid poached egg, but I dont care. I will eat em just about any way...but my kids are scrambled folks. So I rarely fry eggs.

Just eating for breakfast, #2. If topping a burger or Asian dish with a fried egg, I prefer something similar to #1 with crispy edges but mine are not scorched.

The worst is overcooked scrambled eggs, which unfortunately is the traditional American way of cooking scrambled eggs.

I like them all ways but if they are crispy like that I want them basted with bacon grease.
