I like the sound of alternatives to toast but for me as a vegetarian I will have to try vege bacon or tofu which will be just as good I hope.

Yes, the price !

I so wish I liked eggs more than I do as I will agree they are very versatile, pretty inexpensive and hard boiled ones are very portable! As it is, I can only take about 2-3 a week. I just don't like them enough to eat more than that.

8 eggs a day .. good source of protein and best if you are into gymming!

Haha, I only ever shoot things I would eat
.

Shooting eggs must get a bit messy - or do you shoot the hens instead???

PS I'm not overfond of eggs so I tend to disguise those I eat in baked goodies, but husband makes me eat omelettes occasionally.

Love eggs , I cut a bell pepper in half and deseed it put on a tray break an egg and put in each half of the pepper , put in the oven for 15 mins take out and fill with cheese, put a slice of Chorizo on top, back in oven for 5 mins and serve with a pork chop

I want to try this but that seems a long time in the oven for the egg - doesn't it go hard? What oven temperature do you use?

I understood that dietary cholesterol has little or no effect on body cholesterol as our bodies make their own cholesterol. Shoot me down if you wish!

You are absolutely correct, the more we eat the less the body makes. University of Surrey did some research, making students eat eggs every day. Maybe that was just some kind of torture. Even Ancel Keys as far back as the 50s was saying that ingested cholesterol does not affect total cholesterol levels.

Some days I eat four, some days none - I go with what I feel like eating - sometimes I boil them then let cool and eat with cheese and salad, sometimes I fry them with bacon, or with mushrooms and sweet peppers, I scramble them and grate cheese onto them just before cooking ends. They are so adaptable, so there is probably something to take your fancy whatever time of day it is.
Soufflé omelettes are quite spectacular and very filling, and can be filled with just about anything left in the fridge.

Hi I put oven on 180 but you can alter the time so the yolk is still runny

boiled eggs and metfartin don't mix, stay up wind

Eggs and brandy mix very well. Advocaat anyone (otherwise known as egg nogg or egg flip)?. Stand clear of both ends with this one.

I remember as a young child seeing my father - a heavy drinker - making a similar drink with raw eggs as part of his regular morning-after hangover cure.

I don't particularly like eggs but I do try to eat several a week, generally in my baked goods (sweet or savoury muffins or low carb bread), sometimes in omelettes, or in a goats cheese, spinach and a red or yellow pepper chopped and mixed with a couple of eggs beaten up with sour cream, and baked in the microwave

IMO they are an excellent food for diabetics - particularly as an integral part of a LCHF diet - in whatever form you prefer to eat them.

I do like eating eggs, but I always get the feeling I'm going to throw up for several hours afterwards (I've never actually done it though!)

I like eggs cooked in anyway, but particularly poached. I often hardboil a couple of eggs, peel them and keep them in some salted water in the fridge as a handy snack if I'm a bit peckish.

They use to say go, to work on an egg, I tried, but failed my egg driving test.
