Hmmm, gonna have to try that.


How come everyone eats the whites first??? I do the dipping first, then eat the
whites, then lick the plate.

6 pages of dunky eggs. Cool.

The joy of good fresh eggs is that the whites do not run. They stay nice and compact. The yolk sits up nice and tall and proud.

Yummy!

I eat the white first, cause I'm saving the best for last!

I am with you on that, I do the steaming method with the lid using the toaster as a timer. Well I used to & still do kinda......only for store bought eggs.....back last fall when I actually had eggs from my currently still "on strike mini flock", they actually took app. 2x as long.

I use an egg poacher. I put a dab of butter in each cuppy and cook it til the yolk bounces when I pat it with my finger.

I salt and eat the white, then I dunk all the runniest yolk with a piece of toast. When the runny is gone, I scoop the semi hard yolk that is left onto the other piece of toast and spread it like jam. I crumble a piece of bacon on top and enjoy.

If I don't use an egg poacher, I fry it.

I'm posting here so I don't take Gritsars post OT. What does a dunky duck egg
taste like? Aren't duck eggs bigger? Do they quack when u open them?

I eat the white part first, I dont know why. Then I dunk the toast until there's no more runny yolk. Then I scoop the leftover stuff on a little piece of toast and eat it!

I grew up w/ them being fried in bacon grease, yum!

My wife is a vegetarian so we don't have bacon in the house very often. (She went to dinner w/ friends last night, the kids requested meatloaf. When she came home she had to try it, and loved it!)

If you add a bit of canola to the butter it won't burn. Any oil w/ the butter will keep it from burning.

I worked as a short order chef in a restaurant for a while and learned to always flip the over easy or omelet w/ a flick of the wrist. These fresh eggs are breaking the yolks before I flip, I might have to turn the heat down. I was also taught to cook eggs after they come to room temp. (when I get my hens I'll keep mine in the pantry not the fridge.)

I'm going to go make some w/ a lid, and spooning a bit of oil/butter over the top and no flipping. It's very disappointing to have a broken yoke. I'm buying my fresh eggs still so I'm getting them not the dog.

I always loved poached eggs when I was a kid too.

I always slide mine onto toast, never greasy and self butters the toast.
