s/o pb&j post... Egg Yolks

After the awesome pb&j debate, I'm curious about eggs! I think drippy egg yolks are vomit inducing, but some people go nuts over them. I really only like eggs when scrambled, fried yolks are still kind of ick (like an egg mcmuffin).[Poll]

  • I prefer to just eat egg whites, but when I eat eggs, I like them hard scrambled. Not a fan of runny yolks.

  • I don't like egg yolks by themselves. I only eat scrambled eggs, or the white part of fried eggs

  • I'm a big fan of over easy eggs - gooey runny yolk and all. I'm not very good at making them, though, so it's always a treat when my dad makes breakfast during visits.

    Next on the list, I like scrambled, but they need to be fluffy. I hate when it's just like a flat omelette with no fillings and people call them scrambled eggs.

    Sometimes I do omelettes.

    When I lived a summer in France, the family I was with liked to make soft boiled eggs. So the white was cooked but the yellow was still runny. They put them in a little egg holder, cut the top off, and then ate it with a spoon.

    This exactly. I always order just egg whites, but if I'm eating the whole egg, I'm only eating in scrambled with no runniness whatsoever.

  • I typically don't eat egg yolks unless they've been mashed into egg salad or are in deviled eggs.  If I get a poached egg, I ask for it well done and I don't eat the yolk.  DH loves runny egg yolks though ... blech!

  • What's with all of the yolk hate? lol I love eggs and I'll pretty much eat them any way they can be made. I don't like when the white is really runny, but other than that, I'm not very picky.

  • The yolk is the best part!  I like eggs any way except for soft-scrambled.  If I'm eating a fried egg, depending on my mood and what kind of bread there is to scoop up the runny, gooey goodness, I'll either get them over easy, over medium or over hard.  For the purpose of this poll, I chose runny. Yes

    That is the best part! I always get mad when I have good bread to scoop all the goodness up with and they're completely cooked inside. I love all parts of the egg. However, other than the protein you can get from the whites, all of the vitamins & health benefits are in the yolk. Plus...they're just freakin delicious!

    Ditto exactly! I hate runny eggs whites, but that's it. Runny yolks are definitely the best part. Yes
  • The runny yolk is the best part! I love dipping my bread in it. My favorite egg breakfast is an over easy egg sandwich with cheese and bacon, yummy!
  • Mmm, I love sopping up runny yolks with grainy bread. So good. I'm with PPs on the egg love. My least favorite is hardboiled, but only because I'm not a fan of the hardboiled yolk.

  • This board has got some picky eaters, apparently. I like eggs any way they're cooked. I mean, I'm not going to sit down and eat a plate of runny eggs, but that's what toast is for, yo.

  • My grandmother would always make poached eggs on salt rising bread  when I was growing up on. This is my favorite and love going to visit and having her make breakfast. I do not like hard yolk at all unless they are scrambled.

    Orsay has the best croque madam. The runny egg on top with gruyere baguette is so good!

  • Anyone ever had a cheeseburger with a fried egg inside?  Sooooooo good!
  • I just love eggs.  If I had to pick a fave, I guess it's "over medium," so I answered, a little gel is ok.  But I like scrambled, hard boiled, fried and cooked all the way (whatever the eggy term is for that), deviled, eggs benedict.....
  • I love eggs, so anyway is fine with me. I voted runny.

    Madisen- That sounds good.
