Fudge pancakes or eggy bread ?.
If there's veg in the fridge, stir-fry with fried eggs on top; if not, fried egg butty. Sauce optional.
If there’s veg in the fridge
😆 😆 😆 not seen any of my 'I'm a carnivore' posts then ?
Actually theres usually an onion in there, but I dont think they count.
Fried eggs ?. Thats what happened to the rest.
Omelette ? Normally that 4 eggs for me. Chorizo, diced onion and grated cheese.
Curry ?, I'm sorry, but thats just wrong.
Boiled egg sandwiches ?, Nicer smashed up in a cup, with butter, salt and liberal splash of tabasco sauce.
Fudge pancakes!. Would be nice but its getting on a bit for sugary treats. Though I could wait till tomorrow lunch.
Put them out for the garden fox.
They pick eggs up really gently and take them off.
Raw in a glass like Rocky!

I'd love that, mixed up in a cup with milk and sugar. But alas I don't know where they came from(Other than a chicken) and if they're imported from the EU, that means they havent been checked for contamination as we're no no longer checking the quality of goods coming in.

Yeah, what the hell, let's get political, this threads only got short legs anyhow.
Scrambled, with spinach, parmessan, sprinkled with a chopped red chilli.
Put lots of tiny pin holes in them. Leave out of the fridge for several weeks. Throw them at a Tory MP of your choice.
Glass them and eat in February
I imagine the OP must be getting pretty hungry by now but... if you have't already passed out
Sprinkle a little bit of crumbled feta in a pan and fry the eggs on top
Always pancakes when down to two eggs.
Otherwise, poached eggs on sourdough toast with avocado. Given the price in a cafe, it’s an absolute bargain.
Oooooor, as I was taught in my first week of art school..
Separate the the eggs, then carefully place the egg yoke in on hand and roll it from one hand to the other wiping your hands on a paper towel each time until theres no trace of white on the yoke sac - you can then carefully pick the yoke up by its skin and slice with a scalpel so you you've got pure, unadulatated yoke and then mix with raw pigment to make Tempera.
Then paint your masterpiece and eat meringues.
eggy bread easily hands down

It's chickens that have short legs, eggs have none.
Boiled eggs with soldiers?
I've mentioned these devices - the Swan Egg Boiler and Poacher - a few times on various foody threads. When Mrs Binners bought one of these things I snorted with derisive laughter and dismissed it as something that would inevitably gather dust at the back of a cupboard somewhere. How wrong I was! It gets absolutely hammered! Perfect boiled or poached eggs every time!
Meringue with the whites and homemade mayo with the yolks

You'd best be right there @binners as I just bought one. My ability to boil eggs to a consistent hardness is patchy at best. And poaching with the faff of lighting the gas appeals. I'm so lazy, I need to find someone to peel me a grape 😉
Two eggs? I'd be making a sponge cake!
Can’t beat a nice poached egg
Nonsense, there's no egg ever been poached that wouldn't have been better fried.
Anyway, with the two eggs in question you could feed two Frenchies, because for a frenchie one egg is un oeuf.
@Alex - trust me - they're a life-changing kitchen device. Even I can't manage to get eggs wrong any more, and believe me eggs are usually my nemesis. Keep us posted how you get on with it though.

Are you mad? You can't have fried eggs with smoked salmon, toasted muffins and hollandaise sauce, you animal! 😀
The deed is done.
Fried(with sublime crispy edges) and on 2 slices of buttered bread, with HP sauce.
There were too many choices, I was in danger of starving.
.
Sponge cake!
Lateral thinking win right there.
Nonsense, there’s no egg ever been poached that wouldn’t have been better fried.
Bollocks. I love a fried egg but poached is sublime.
Guilty!
A good poached egg always beats any fried egg.
I fry. Or boil.
Umm. Pancakes. That’s breakfast chosen.
A good poached egg always beats any fried egg.
I mean, you make a good argument, but you're wrong.
You can’t have fried eggs with smoked salmon, toasted muffins and hollandaise sauce
Yes you can, and it would be delicious.
I'm not saying poached eggs are bad, but they're the emperor's new clothes of egg preparation. People have been conditioned to think they're somehow special because, yes, there's an element of skill in making them, but they just taste like an egg. A fried egg also tastes like an egg, but with the extra texture elements and flavour that the crispier edges bring.

Theres zero skill involved when I use my egg poacher thing.
I think we can agree that both fried eggs and poached eggs are absolutely bloody brilliant, but its horses for courses innit?

This feels awfully like an attempt to acknowledge the views of others in order to build a peaceful consensus.
Oi! Who are you and what have you done with Binners?
I'll mix this up with another 6 eggs bought.
Im surprised nobody mentioned Scrambled. There must be no love for the humble scrambled egg on toast.
but its horses for courses innit?
Don't derail the thread by bring up the whole Iceland Lasagne debate again. Obviously lasagne is a main course - who in their right mind would have it as a starter?
Im surprised nobody mentioned Scrambled.
My favourite breakfast is scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, but cut the smoked salmon up into small pieces and let it lightly poach in the scrambled eggs as they're cooking. I really, really fancy that now actually
Im surprised nobody mentioned Scrambled.
It's cos scrambled egg is shit, innit.
There must be no love for the humble scrambled egg on toast.
A late friend introduced me to what he called 'Polish eggs' - no idea if it's actually a polish recipe but he was just back from Poland. Its now a bit of weekly staple for me as 'Mark's Eggs' which is eggs scrambled into fried diced onion, oregano and a bit of chilli
You’re like the fried egg Taliban!
To paraphrase the line from the Blues Brothers
"We like both kinds of egg, fried and boiled"
binners
toasted muffin
I've never had a toasted muffin that wasn't a doughy, unpleasant disappointment.
I'll have some crunchy toast, thanks
I'm just resurrecting this thread to confirm - contrary to popular opinion 🙂 - @binners is a genius. Or at least an 'Egg Auteur'.
Our Swan egg wrangler does indeed make perfect poached eggs (with a bit of experimentation) with far less hassle/mess than having to boil water in a pan 😉 Also offpsring are home for xmas and both have a not-lost-from-childhood love of eggy soldiers. Again the miracle of the steaming egg machine has delivered perfect sogginess for dipping.
Toast of course. We're not savages
Poached Eggs on toast here these morning, quite “normal” yet seasoned with cayenne pepper. Lovely.
Cayenne or chilli flakes for me. That and double espresso cranks the lever from 'still mostly asleep' to 'wide awake' 🙂
My better half is recalculating how many eggs we need to get us through the xmas break. Can't see my normal porridge getting a look in for a few days!
@Alex - glad that’s been a worthwhile purchase. For something that costs 20 quid they really are a truly marvellous device. Ours gets used all the time.
I’d love to take the title ‘Egg Auteur’ but can’t take much credit as it was Mrs Binners who discovered it
You’re right though, that once you’ve done a couple of experimentation to get your timing bang on for how you like them, it’s perfect hassle-free poached of boiled eggs every time
I think I’ll get ours out now and have some eggy soldiers for breakfast myself
Swan egg wrangler
I thought only the King was allowed to eat Swan Eggs, along with the euphemistically named 'Coronation Chicken'. Great big white angry 'coronation chickens' that can break a mans arm.
For something that costs 20 quid they really are a truly marvellous device. Ours gets used all the time.
Yeah looks like I might have to buy two more or risk having ours stolen 🙂
I thought only the King was allowed to eat Swan Eggs,
I'm a republican and don't recognise privileges for the monarchy 🙂 I have however been 'taken down' by a dodgy coronation chicken once!
