Old Fashioned Runny Eggs And Toast Food

SOFT AND CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
• Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk until well blended.
• When the butter begins to bubble, pour in the eggs and immediately use a silicone spatula to swirl in small circles around the pan, without stopping, until the eggs look slightly thickened and very small curds begin to form, about 30 seconds.
• Change from making circles to making long sweeps across the pan until you see larger, creamy curds; about 20 seconds.
• When the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, remove the pan from the heat and leave for a few seconds to finish cooking. Give a final stir and serve immediately. Serve with an extra sprinkle of salt, a grind of black pepper and a few fresh chopped herbs (if desired).

CHEESY EGG TOAST PERFECT FOR BREAKFAST RECIPE BY TASTY

• Sprinkle on salt and pepper, and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 10-15 min. 10 min will have a runny yolk whereas 15 min will have a firmer yolk.

OLD-FASHIONED RUNNY EGGS AND TOAST

Steps:

• Heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil in a skillet over med to med-high heat.
• When oil is hot, gently crack egg(s) and break open right over the grease, trying not to break the yolks. If you do break the yolk and want to try again, let the damaged egg cook a bit before taking it out or you'll have a hard time of it.
• Start making the toast.
• Grab a spatula and wait until the bottom of the egg(s) turns white (you can no longer see the bottom of the pan through it).
• Using the back side of the spatula blade (by holding the spatula normal, then twisting it in your hand 1/2 turn), splash the hot oil over the top.
• Continue doing this until both the egg white and yolk have a white film over the top. This should occur just about the time the toast is ready.
• Carefully remove the egg(s) to a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Serve with the toast.
• To eat, break the white skin on the yolk to get to the runny goodness. Dip toast pieces in the yolk and enjoy!
• Note: Until you get the hang of it, you should keep other people and pets away from the skillet while you're cooking. Otherwise, someone will likely end up on the receiving end of an over-ambitious flick of the spatula when you're trying to cook the tops. There are recipes here that describe other similar (and safer) ways to cook eggs with "runny" yolks, but if you want that old-fashioned, greasy-spoon, crispy-edged, fried-egg taste, there's just no substitute for this method.

BACON, EGGS, AND TOAST: MY VERSION

Steps:

• Prep: The first thing I do is get the eggs out of the fridge, the bacon and the bread. I try to get the eggs to room temp by putting them out early, but it isn't required. They may just take a bit longer to cook. Get your pan on the burner and pre-heat it to medium-ish. I start closer to medium low, then move it to medium when I'm there cooking the eggs.
• Now, the bacon. Ever used a microwave for your bacon? It's too easy, trust me. Take 2-3 slices and place them evenly on a paper towel. Cover with another piece of towel and get them on a microwave safe plate. Times may vary for this, but my oven is 1000 watts and the bacon gets nice and crispy how I like it in two minutes, thirty seconds. Adjust according to yours.
• Bread. Simple. Just place two slices in the toaster ready to go.
• Cooking: You've got your eggs next to the stove and your pan on and heated, your bacon is in the microwave, and the bread is standing by in the toaster.
• Set the microwave to 2:30 and hit start, press down the plunger on the toaster, put some butter in the pan to melt, and break the eggs into the pan. Don't worry about the toast or bacon getting done early, as they will keep warm from residual heat in their respective cooking implements. We're going to concentrate on the eggs.
• You've cracked them in there and they're beginning to turn white. At this point, I salt them and crack some liberal pepper over them. To taste, of course.
• Next, you'll see a sort of raised ring, about a half inch to inch around the yolk, of white. I constantly take the corner of my spatula and break through this to the cooking surface. What that does is expose more and more white to the heat and I like this part cooked and not runny, but the yolk really runny. Once this has set up, you're basically done. Shake the pan and look to see if you have any jiggly, clear bits. No? Put the eggs on a plate.
• Careful getting the bacon out of the microwave and towels. HOT. Put them on the plate as well.
• Butter the toast, put them on the plate.
• Sit down and feast like a King, or Queen, heheheh.
• I like to break the yolks, cut up the the eggs and mix it all together, and pile a fork full on a corner of the toast (repeat) and chow down like that, occasionally taking a bite of the savory bacon for a change of tongue scenery, if you will, but you eat it however you like, heheh.

CHEF JOHN'S SCOTCH EGGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fill a saucepan with 1/2-inch water; bring to a boil. Carefully place cold eggs into saucepan, cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until eggs yolks are soft, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and pour cold water over eggs to halt the cooking process. Cool eggs to room temperature in cold water; peel and dry eggs on paper towels.
• Mix sausage, mustard, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Shape into 6 equal-size balls.
• Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat work surface. Place 1 ball of sausage mixture into the center of the plastic wrap, fold the plastic wrap over sausage, and flatten into an 1/8-inch thick oval shape. Pull plastic wrap back and place 1 egg in the center of the sausage. Pick up plastic wrap, moisten fingertips, and press sausage around egg to cover completely, sealing sausage around egg. Repeat with remaining eggs and sausage.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Pour flour into another shallow bowl. Beat remaining 2 eggs in another shallow bowl.
• Gently press eggs into flour to coat; shake off excess flour. Dip eggs into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded eggs onto a plate.
• Working in batches, cook eggs in the preheated oil until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, at least 5 minutes.
