I didn’t see a poll but I really can’t pick a favorite. I like them any way you can fix them other than balut.
It mostly just depends on what mood I’m in but I will say this, it is the one food I never I never tire of.

It probably doesn't show up in Tapatalk. But if you came to Carnivore Talk using your web browser you would see the poll above the first post at the top of the page.

I just google "balut eggs". Yes, that would be a negative for me too, lol.

Same here. I like to switch things up usually, so I never make them the same way two days back-to-back.

Ok I went there and found the poll but I just can’t decide because I just like them all too much.

I voted for sunny side up, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, and omelettes. I love having eggs in these forms.

I really love eggs because they are so versatile and delicious. Omelets are among my favorite ways to prepare them with scrambled following close behind. I usually put all my toppings that I would put in the omelets right in the scrambled eggs.

BTW, I recently discovered a great way to make scrambled eggs by a well-known chef. Except for the white truffle oil, the recipe looks like it can pass most carnivore diets.

Hey @Steven2023 - thanks for sharing. I would have never imagined there was an art to scrambling eggs, lol. I usually butter or tallow my pan, get 'er done, and salt and season afterwards. Next time I am going to try the extra yolk and salting the mix first and letting it sit for 15 minutes. I would have never thought of that.

I watched the video. I have never tried any color truffle oil on eggs or any other food. I actually like my scrambled eggs a little drier than his looked. They can be drier and still be fluffy.

He is right that you don't want the pan too hot, though I can still get fluffy eggs with a hotter pan. I find two things help with the fluffiness. One is to whip some air into the eggs - I do this by using a small cordless food processor. The second is to remove them from the pan while they still look a little wet because they will finish cooking on the plate.

I might also mention, I no longer boil eggs - I steam them. To do this, I put a small amount of water in a pan large enough for 12 eggs. I bring the water to a boil and place a steamer basket in the pot. I then place the cold eggs on the basket ... the eggs should stay in the fridge until you are ready to cook them. I place a lid on the pot and set a timer for 13 minutes. When the timer goes off, I remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bath of water with ice. They will cool fairly quickly and be much easier to peel. 13 minutes will produce nice, hard-boiled eggs with a somewhat fluffy yolk.

I don't care for soft-boiled eggs or runny yolks.

I also steam my eggs. I get more consistent eggs this way. I do six minutes for soft boiled and ten minutes for hard.

Interesting. I'll have to try this steaming method. I've always just put them in boiling water.

I'm fine with an egg over-medium with some runny yolk. Over easy or other less-than-fully-cooked methods not so much. 

I've never had a soft-boiled egg. The thought of a cold, not quite hard boiled egg with some runny yolk sounds gross to me, lol. But hey, maybe I would enjoy it.

[Qapla]

If you steam or boil the eggs, it is still best to take them straight from the fridge and put them in the boiling pot. Putting them in and letting the water come up to heat makes the eggs harder to peel. The sudden temperature change of putting the cold eggs into the boiling water or steam helps release the membrane from the white instead of sticking to the white and the shell.
