jackson 301 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Every once in a while when I can't think what to have for dinner, I'll have a boiled egg sandwich. I'll boil my eggs for 4 minutes, cool them under a running, cold tap then place them on some buttered, fresh, brown, bread, add a dash of salt and pepper, cut in two and I've a tasty egg sandwich. Served with a hot cup of tea and a slice of Genoa cake for after, I consider I've made myself a satisfactory meal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 The absolute WORST is if you get served a nice fried egg and find the white still raw and runny on the top! or bite into a nice fried egg and get a bit of shell between your teeth! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Then those people who are cooking 'a nice fried egg' aren't taking the trouble!; Connoisseurs of 'a nice fried egg' know that there is an art to this: you don't just throw an egg in a pan and forget about it, you have to make sure the fat is hot and carefully ladle it over the egg until the yolk is sealed. Sealed on the top but a golden, runny yumminess when dabbed into with your bread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Or put the frying pan under the grill for a few seconds whilst you put the sausage , bacon , beans , tomato, mushrooms , fried slice, etc on the plate , Not that I have ever had to do it , some body told me about it , honest ,..........

Paulus 541 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 plateful of grated cheese, clear a hole in the middle put one egg in the hole (without shell) bake in the oven until all cheese melted & egg is cooked........................................Take care, cheese will be very hot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgread1200 141 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I remember my fist job in the building trade was some flats and shops at Cotgrave, I was asked to stand in as cabin lad while the usual bloke was on holiday, a lot of the men would order hard and soft boiled eggs for morning snap time. Couldn't understand why they were so upset when they found out I used the same water to boil the eggs and make the tea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Fried, with a sprinkling of pepper over it...luvverly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 i put a teaspoon of white vinegar in... i find it keeps the egg 'together' the times iv tried it without vinegar... it fell apart n made eggy soup! The vinegar lowers the temperature at which the albumen in the egg whites set, thus causing them to skin over before they can disintegrate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Has anyone tried pickling their own? I suspect you need more than Vinegar? Yup , it's very easy too. I bought some jars of pickling vinegar from Morrisons (They were on 'bogof'), and a dozen eggs off of the 'Woopsie' counter, hard boil the eggs , put in jar of pickling vinegar , job done !! a dozen pickled eggs for about a quid !! I've still got another jar of vinegar at the back of the cupboard just waiting till I can get some more 'cheap' eggs (Did you see what I did there ?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
