Chicken Eggs

Chicken eggs are a very common culinary item, and are often eaten on their own or used in recipes from stir fries to smoothies to baked goods like pies! They are personally one of my favorite foods, especially for breakfast! The most commonly consumed egg is that of the humble chicken, and it is this that I of course prefer. I don't think that I've ever tried duck eggs, and of course they would be unclean.

Breakfast Eggs
Breakfast eggs, as in eggs eaten on their own or as part of a meal during breakfast, are my favorite way to consume this wondrous treat. They come in many varieties, the most common being scrambled, omelettes, over easy and Sunny Side Up. My favorite is sunny side up!

Omelettes
Omelettes, the kind of egg I've had least. I don't know much about omelettes, I believe it's just egg cooked and mixed with other things like peppers while cooked. Then there's some flippity action and you put stuff in the middle. It's the most advanced of all eggs, and I struggled with them during my time at the restaurant.

Scrambled
Scrambled eggs are my second favorite, and are exactly as described; scrambled! This is the easiest kind of egg to make if you want to make it simply, and one of the hardest if you want to prepare it delicately with utmost care and professionalism. I am not totally familiar with the advanced method, but I know Gordon Ramsay uses it as a means to test the mettle of chefs; a deceptively simple dish in the realms of culinary trial.

I'll put it this way, the simple method involves breaking the egg and then mixing the yolk, either in a bowl beforehand or in the pan itself, and then cooking while continuously stirring. That's it! Scrambled of course cooks the quickest of any egg type, and it's nice to add salt, pepper and ketchup afterwards. The sign of quality scrambled eggs is the Fluffiness Factor.

Of the advanced method, I know this:


 * 1) Prepare in bowl beforehand, and mix with bit of milk.
 * 2) Put in pan and prepare as usual, but take it off and back on the heat with haste and intuition as the yolk thickens.
 * 3) Probably put on some herbs or something after to make it look nice.

Sunny Side Up
To make sunny side up eggs, make sure to break the shell very carefully to ensure the yolk is not broken. If the yolk is broken, the sunny side up egg is defeated and either becomes a blocked out sun or a half eclipse, both half as yummy meals. If the yolk is successfully preserved, the egg is simply cooked top side up without being flipped until it reaches a desired state! I like to keep a lot of the runny yolk personally. A cool tip is to put on a lid to keep the heat inside the pan, allowing it to more thoroughly cook the entire egg without hardening the yolk.

White VS Brown
Look! I don't know, and I don't know how, but brown eggs just taste better than white ones! Okay?
