I can’t remember the last time I had an omelette. Will make one for lunch during the week and predict it getting positioned between boiled and scrambled. It’s a step up from scrambled, Shirley?

Not cooked breakfast ranked, just generally.

Scrambled.
Fried.
Omelette.
Boiled.
Poached - last because I can’t be arsed with the faff.

Wrong again.

Poached
Soft boiled
Hard boiled (warm in a sandwich with salt and pepper)
Fried
Omelette only with cheese.
Scrambled - never. Pointless and mostly tasteless.

Eggs have got to be the most versatile food out there. I couldn’t live without them anyway.

I’m now considering an egg sandwich for my Sunday tea.

Scrambled eggs are lovely, as long as they are not overcooked.

I once tried a boiled seagull egg many moons ago, tasted like a mouthful of salt, not sure it's legal to do so anymore

Ok. I’m fine with you being wrong too.

I’d also argue that runny scrambled eggs should come with a health warning.

There is a perfect cooking point for both scrambled eggs and omelettes. If you undercook them and they're runny, you're right in saying you're risking your health. But overcook them and they are tasteless.

I'm a fan of the French method - baveuse. An omelette should still have a very small amount of underdone egg in the centre when you slide it out of the pan as it will continue to cook in the middle when folded on your plate. Scrambled eggs should be off the heat and on your plate as soon as the last visible runny bit is gone.

Done like that and they're a thing of beauty. As long as you're getting good quality golden yolk eggs of course. My wife cooks scrambled egg in the microwave which is sacrilege. She thinks (probably rightly) that I'm pretentious about the whole thing.

Also, to throw a very unpopular opinion in to the fried breakfast chat, I loathe baked beans.

Omelette and Fried, scrambled if those two options aren't available.

What’s your ten item fry up?

 

[Niigata Jack]

What’s your ten item fry up?

2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 fried eggs, sliced potato's, mushrooms, black pudding, half a or less of tin tomato's or two halfs of fried tomato, baked beans and either a slice of toast or a slice of fresh farmhouse white bread and washed down with a mug of tea and another tea soon after.

Not had a fry up for over 6 months though not happening anytime soon either.
