What's the deal with eggs?
Now I don't think this will catch on like the highly entertaining "What's the deal with cereal?" thread, but a lot can h
Gorgeous. What's in the eggs?
just provolone this time...
Basic BEC on an english muffin. Sunday off to a great start.
that's a beaut! now i want second breakfast
I have actually adopted "second breakfast" as a regular habit. I eat something tiny like a bowl of berries or a banana and nutritional yeast drink an hour after I get up (with coffee if I feel like bothering with making it.) Then 2-3 hours later, a "real" breakfast (many of which appear in this thread, ) late lunch at 3 pm is my biggest meal, and then I just do popcorn or yogurt or a bowl of soup or something in the evening.

And yes, that breakfast sammie looks mouth watering.
Going back through this thread is a nice archive of my egg photography plus lots of tasty ideas and beautiful images (I need some 27 egg salad in my life.) Thanks for the thread guys.
I agree that this is a great thread. And I ran out of the ways I cook eggs a long time ago. but enjoyed learning new ways to cook them along the way.
So I'm going to put this here since it contains an egg. I have no idea how I got this far in life (my age will start with a 6 next year. Yikes!) without EVER seeing this dish on a menu or seeing it prepared on a cooking show.
What could this elusive dish possibly be? Do you know the name without cheating?
Hint: It's made with a fried egg, a hamburger patty, and brown gravy
NO CHEATING!

Loco moco is a dish featured in contemporary Hawaii cuisine. The traditional loco moco consists of white rice, topped with a hamburger patty and brown gravy, and a sunny-side up fried egg[
The dish was reportedly created at the Lincoln Grill restaurant in Hilo, Hawaii, in 1949 by its proprietors, Richard Inouye and his wife, Nancy, at the request of teenagers from the Lincoln Wreckers Sports club seeking something that differed from a sandwich, was inexpensive, and yet could be quickly prepared and served.[2] They asked Nancy to put some rice in a bowl, a hamburger patty over the rice, and then top it with brown gravy. The egg came later. The teenagers named the dish Loco Moco after one of their members, George Okimoto, whose nickname was "Crazy” because of his crazy antics.
I did a bit more of a deep dive and in the 1950s it was a popular dish in diners across America, and many substituted the hamburger patty with Salisbury Steak (which makes sense since Salisbury Steak is just a hamburger patty with fillers like egg and bread crumbs formed into the shape of a Steak). If you want to get really adventurous, you can use fried Spam.
This looks incredibly easy to replicate at home and I'm definitely going to put sautéed onions and mushrooms in my brown gravy.
omg... that macaroni salad looks amazing...
the places you can get that in California also had multiple Spam dishes. hawaiians love Spam.
I refuse to give up my eggs for second breakfast just because it's 90 degrees outside. (Process photos shown for fairly good egg peeling results w/28 day old steamed eggs.)
Deviled eggs don't care what what the temperature is outside. YUM
Those look great. However, I waited long enough for someone else to mention it, but there seems to be 0.5 ovum MIA. Inquiring minds (apparently only mine) want to know ...
I confess that ever since I was a kid when I saw deviled eggs, my first impulse was to see if there were a convenient and inconspicuous place for me to dump the whites while I ate as many yolks as I could get away with.
I did it. Numerous times. Mercy!

Well, as it happens, my eggs were too perfectly round. I should have taken a thin slice off of the bottom to allow them to sit flat on the plate, but since I didn't I made a star shape out of them so they could keep each other from sliding around. But the sixth little identical twin didn't want to play nicely with the two other sets of twins or even their own other half! Six was just taking up too much space, sliding all over the place, and generally being a nuisance.
So I ate him and then took the pic.
I had a sneaking suspicion of his fate, but I had no inkling of the motivation and planning that went into it. As little as I know about these things, the presentation seems much better without him!
Also, I have to admit, I am as mystified as whatthejish by your discarding of the whites during your misspent childhood. I always thought a large part of the appeal of deviled eggs was them coming all ready to go in a neat little serving dish of their very own!
All the nutrition is in the yolk. Nutriment density issue.

That is the convenience aspect, but the white is about as tasty as one of Schu's paper plates--probably less tasty than his reused paper plates. If a serving dish is going to be edible, it should have an appetizing taste or very little volume imo.
I seldom eat deviled eggs when someone serves them because as much as I'd like to eat the yolk, I don't want to have to eat the white or leave it on my plate.

interested to see if anyone is able to pick apart this Ames point with the same verocity as Tom and his yolks

Compare the bland boiled egg white to the tortilla and true understanding dawns. The tortilla forms the taco, the enchilada, the burrito. Yet this is only the beginning. The quesadilla! The fajita! May I draw your attention to the huevos rancheros? And finally, finally, we gravely nod in the direction of the tortilla chip. The mother of the nacho. The queso wrangler. Now you are looking down at the limp white thing in your hand asking yourself how you ever found it pleasurable.
