    How do you have them?.....

    Eggs that is!

    I am obsessed with poached eggs right now - I do them with milk, slight whirlpool and perfect every time!! Yummoooo coudl just as easily eat them any which way though!!

    So how do you prefer your eggs! Runny or hard? Baked, scrambled, poached, fried, boiled? I could take all of them as long as the yolk is runny!! Yum!

    I've never been able to master the poached egg but I love them. I always have my eggs poached when I have breakfast out. When I'm home I have fried or scrambled eggs. I like my fried eggs hard in a sandwich or runny if I'm having them with bacon or chips.

    Scrambled with cream until they're rubbery as! Then on toast with crispy bacon and tomato sauce I'm a simple gal with simple tastes

    I love tomato sauce with my eggs too. DH says I'm weird. I think he's the weird one!

    As long as the yolks runny! Poached or scrambled are my favourite, not keen on fried. Lots of pepper and a pinch of salt

    On the weekend I did poached eggs masterchef style (ie cracked into a piece of glad wrap that was sitting over a ramekin - dont forget to stay with oil!!) and they turned out amazing!!! I usually find poached too watery, but love love loved these!!

    I also like scrambled, boiled or fried... But as a healthy eating plan is starting I'm thinking poached is the new way to go. We had them on a salad and I can't explain how good they were!!

    Omlett is popular in our house. I love poached but often end up with soggy toast
    Soft boiled with toast soldiers for dipping is fun

    DH poaches me an egg every morning for breakfast. He puts it on a slice of wholemeal toast and a spoonful of baked beans on top.

    I like the white all firm but the yolk runny - an uncooked white will make me gag and put me off eggs for weeks!

    I like poached. I find with the day fresh eggs from the younger girls, they poach beautifully without muching fussing about.

    I find using milk helps, slow whirlpool and crack from a flat plate and slide in slowly into the centre works a treat! 3 mins for perfectly soft but runny yolk! Mmmmm!! We get ours free range from farmers markets Astrid - so nice!!

    I have them any way possible.. I love eggs!! Gooey yolk, not runny but not hard (I HATE when I eat out and the egg is so under cooked that the white is runny. EWW). I go through stages, last it was poached now I'm having lots of scrambled.

    You poach your eggs with milk???

    I poach them in water with a dash of milk, works a treat and you don't get that gross vinegar taste you can sometimes get on them!

    Poached, have a poaching pan which is great. Scrambled, Fried, boiled with soldiers, omelette, French Toast, hard boiled in a salad or as a side.
    I do love to dip chips in a fried egg, very yummy! I like my eggs runny, very very runny when I have them fried, poached or boiled.

    Best of cooking cakes, especially vanilla cakes as I have chooks and the colour is amazing compared to a shop purchased egg

    Not a fan of omlettes either. The girls seem to like them, so I get DH to make them.

    Nup cant handle poached at all Hubby loves them and I gag every time he makes them. The though of a runny egg makes me want to gag.

    I like scrambled eggs but have gone completely off them while pregnant, it probably doesn't help that we have an endless supply of free range eggs so I got so sick of eating them!

    Mmmmmmmmmmmm fried with a runny yolk so I can dip bacon into it. I'm missing that, being pregnant. Or a yummy omelette. Boiled. Scrambled eggs on toast with tomato sauce and pepper! Mmmm...

    Not a huge fan of poached, I just can't get it right and it's always watery and not very nice.
