100 ways to cook an egg

[Katherine]

Is your mom still around? If she is, you might make eggs for her, to see if she could see if you're doing anything different, like:

type and quantity of liquid added to eggs;
type and quantity of fat in the pan;
heat level;
how well-done;
type of pan.

Another thing that you might have no control over is the egg supply. When I go to Montana to visit my sister, the eggs look and taste different (pale and flavorless), probably due to feed and other factory farm considerations.

Microwave????????

Ok, Sisi...small pan, low heat (I use med/low) butter and good eggs.
heat a dab of butter in skillet until bubbles appear, add eggs and mix with a fork.Let cook stirring occasionally and add another dab of butter when the eggs are almost softly set.
See if this helps.

Speaking of eggs did anyone see the recently re-run episodes on PBS from Julia Childs early shows? Caught them the other night and they were amazing. It was really impressive to watch her make an omlette. Made it look so easy.

Eggs...great invention. I like 'em any way you can think of. Never had a problem with scrambled, but have always had a problem with over easy. Guess I should practice more, eh?

One thing you should never do is to overcook beaten eggs in a microwave. Turns out like the foam they use for insulation. Hee, Hee.

Latest foray was this weekend when I was bored and didn't want to go out:

Cut up and fried an andouille sausage, then mixed with beaten egg and leftover creamed spinach (spinach, sour cream, mushrooms, fresh nutmeg, and fresh parmesan). Sorta scrambled it altogether. Not too shabby.

[Nick.Shu]

heheh, reminds me of the nursery rhyme, 4 and 20 blackbirds, only with a creamy filling.

[Chef David Simpson]

How bout a 5 cheese, 5 mushroom omellette topped w/ a cream sauce.

[shroomgirl]

OK which 5 which 5?

Nick.shu:

Baluts again? How about a Balut and Bacon Quiche? Could have the little heads sticking out of the top of the quiche.

[Chef David Simpson]

Soft cheeses like brie, goat,cream, and two hard cheeses; emental and chedder. Mushshrooms would have to be, horn of plenty, truffle(prefering black) button, chantrelle,and bollette.

[shroomgirl]

That would be a serious flavored pie.
