Boiled Eggs

[Deleted member 308541]

I like omelettes.

I just need to train myself to make a good one.

I mainly put cheese and cut up mushrooms in mine, I have a black pepper and chilli flakes mix I grind onto the eggs before I mix them up.

It used to be advised not to eat to many eggs owing to the influence on cholesterol levels. I must say this has influenced my take on eating them. However I notice that scientific opinion has changed relatively recently.

I like eggs.

The trouble with dietary cholesterol is it only represents 15% of your overall cholesterol - so for example, if your cholesterol were 6 and you somehow managed to exclude it from your diet entirely, in the best case you’d get down to 5.1. So when a gp wants you to reduce your overall cholesterol (I’ve had this conversation)you’d have to wonder - apart from drug intervention - how? And there are plenty of books explaining the problems with the drug interventions

Have just seen this on twitter and was amused, it's low carb as well:

An esteemed colleague told me he hard-boils eggs in the morning, uses them as pocket warmers, and then has them as a little mid-morning snack when he gets to work.

Truly, the line between genius and madness is very thin.

I often take them to work for a morning snackette/brunch, although I haven't used them for handwarming (geniously mad!); however, I do announce a warning to the office before peeling them/opening the box....

Sue, I’ll take a pre-peeled one to airport if I have a crack-of-dawn flight, and I make sure to eat it bite by bite, zipping it up quick into its plastic bag between each bite. And never on the plane!!

Had four bad boys for my lunch (breakfast).

Cooked by the egg Gods. Just firm enough to qualify as hard boiled, but with beautiful, still warm, gloopy yolks. Covered in pink Himalayan salt and ground black pepper. Oh my goodness. Might have another four in a minute
