Although a nice spicy Bloody Maria (with tequila) might slow my eating down. No promises....

(72,202 posts)Another nice variant is the Bloody Bull. Still uses vodka, but is reinforced with beef broth.
I suppose that would be good with tequila, too.
We could call is a Bloody Toro.

A little onion and chopped ham, chopped green pepper sauteed together, some shredded cheddar cheese, and a little medium spicy salsa. YUM! (the original I-HOP International omelette that is no longer on their menu for those who might remember)

Of course if you really like them hard, this is immaterial. I like them hard for a fried egg sandwich

Most of the time I get them fried and over easy because it is easier.

(12,812 posts)From my husband, though: "Don't trust men!" He always uses it on female servers and it embarrasses the heck out of me.
This is why I always take the check. We share our accounts, so I am just sparing the servers the sexist jokes. He now tells them "I'm a kept man" if they put the check in front of him, and he motions for them to give it to me. One of these days I will figure out how to deal with him. It's been 24 years now.

(2,406 posts)Not mixed up to the point of being a uniform yellow, but just two or three passes with the mixing implement, so that the eggs are swirls of white and a darker yellow. I want them lightly scrambled like that, and with a little diced ham and chopped onions and cheese added, and then cooked just to the point where they are not quite runny. Or, they can still be just a little runny in a couple of spots, but barely cooked that much. It's hard to get them cooked just like this in a restaurant, and I actually feel a little guilty asking the waitperson and cook to fix them to such precise instructions, but that's the way I like them best.

I really like them any way they come but Over easy is my personal favorite
beemerphill
(547 posts)Heat the pan to medium-low, add a little butter (or canola), crack two eggs in the pan, break the yolk, fry until the outside whites are done, flip the eggs, fry a little more, place the eggs on lightly buttered deli-swirl rye (or Aldis 12 grain if available), top with another slice of buttered bread, and slice the sandwich diagonally. Enjoy!
I'm easy to cook for-just do it right.

happybird
(5,371 posts)plus toast with butter and strawberry preserves for soaking up the yolky goodness, a side of bacon or fried ham, and a small pile of diced tomatoes. Almost had that for dinner two nights ago but got nervous because of bird flu. I know it’s unlikely, but something about delicious, half-cooked runny eggs made me stop. Instead, I went with option two: well cooked scrambled eggs with a little bit of finely diced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, and ham (all cooked in the butter before adding the eggs), topped with cheddar and half a slice of American to tie it all together. And Cholula.
I like egg.

I joined some former co-workers for late breakfastearly lunch today, after an indoor mall walk, and got a massive omelette called The Frenchie - sauteed wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, bacon and brie. It was scrumptious, and I would definitely order it again. There is enough left to have it again for tomorrow's lunch.
I love leftovers!
