i have 8 bantam chickens who are pumping out the eggs, they are in all the different colors. i have 4 scrambled for lunch with bacon, or 4 fried with scrapple (they're small so it's basically like 3 normal eggs).

when scrambling, add salt and pepper and scramble in the pan and cook over low heat, scraping the bottom as it cooks to gently mix it up and turn it over, until it's barely not too wet anymore

when frying, use a small pan and cover with a lid and use very low heat until the top white is barely cooked

bacon grease is involved both ways of course. if you time it right and use the right heat the meat, eggs and toast are all done at the same time

EGG EGG EGG EGG!!

The bigger one is sorta sweet sour with apple cider vinegar, mustard and celery seed. The smaller one is the same brine but jacked to the gills with El Yucateco Caribbean hot sauce.
All told 17/18 large eggs made it into the batch, with only 1 lost to a peeling mishap which my dog an I split. RIP.
Total time to make including peeling? <1hr. I say go for it, goons.

good job man. haven't done this again this year myself, been giving away my surplus eggs. but soon hopefully

i use an electric kettle for making hardboiled and softboiled eggs if it's just a few. put the eggs in and fill it up and bring it to a boil, then just let it sit for 5-7 minutes depending on how soft you want the yolks and how large the eggs are etc

Big Beef City posted:

you whisk eggs and a small amount of milk, or water, essentially just enough to help 'break them up' as you whisk them together.
You pour them into a heated, non-stick skillet, into which you've got a bubbling hot, nearly, but not quite smoking, mass of butter. How much butter you have is up to you, but it should be more than you think you need. 1 tbspn for every 2 eggs is probably 'alright'.
The butter should not yet be browning.

When the eggs hit the hot butter and pan, they will start to congeal. Let them for a matter of seconds.
At this time use a silicon spatula, not a wood one, a wood one tears them up and gets all fucky, to gently, turn the eggs over on themselves.

At this point the eggs are essentially 50% done and will not leak water out and get lovely because you salted them before hand like an idiot child.

Now you can add salt to them, or perhaps chlves or some other mild green that you'd like. That's good for egg. Egg is happy now.

Turning the eggs a few more times, slowly will result in large, fluffy curds that are now well seasoned and not watery, that you managed to not burn, and you can do what you want with. There.

this sounds good but i like starting from a cold pan with low heat. it takes a while but always turns out well

Anyone else like when you scramble the egg and the whites/yolks kind of scramble separate?

i think this is the preferable way to do it so you get a range of flavors and textures!

what's the 'cipe? I see garlic, jalapenos, maybe peppercorns? what else you got

I've been wanting to make some, but i'd rather try a tried and true method.
and just how pickly, do they get?

I honestly don't think I've ever had a pickled egg. But I like pickled things and I like EGG.

so. match made in heaven, maybe. Looks like a quick pickle, and not like a canning pickle.

details!

Plus, I let my eggs sit for a couple weeks before I hard boil them since it's typically easy to peel. Does the freshness of the EGG matter?
(also, instapot makes the easiest peel hard/softboiled EGGs in the world)

i use this recipe https://www.delicioustable.com/spicy-pickled-eggs-2/ but like double the garlic and jalapenos

Big Beef gave me a dope mustard-based recipe a while ago, nice change of pace

i have chickens so had a bunch of fresh eggs just lying around, not sure how their age relates to ease of peeling but they were pretty easy, I use a splash of vinegar in the water and then chill in an ice bath for a while after to make it easier. definitely use room temp eggs, not right out of the fridge. there's nothing worse that making a bunch of hard-boiled eggs and when you go to peel them have most of the white come off with the shell leaving a mangled mess

Ooof. We get a longish cone head egg occasionally. I had an egg bound hen a month ago that I was able to get better. The last time a hen got bound it was RIP.

i got long eggs too sometimes but no eggbound hens so far...
