*sings* ‘I love eggs, from my head down to my legs…’

Y’all remember that commercial jingle from a few years ago–okay A LOT of years ago?  Ya know the one *sings again* The Incredible Edible Egg? If so, you’re welcome for the song now stuck in your head. If not…well, whether you remember it or not, we’re moving on here–still talking about eggs, however.

I have always liked eggs but have not always had luck in cooking them. It’s a bit of a downer  for me to cook an egg only to have it not quite turn out like I expected and thus ending up as the dawg’s breakfast.

Good for him, not so much for me. (see cute dawg over there <<)

Still I cook eggs, usually sticking to scrambled since they're That Husband o’ Mine’s preference and not nearly as easy to mess up as say, my favorite, the over easy egg.

My personal favorite way to eat an egg is an Egg-In-A-Basket. I discovered this style once upon a time at a Cracker Barrel (yum) and have sorta kinda duplicated it from time to time. Rarely perfect, sometimes good enough, but still I persevere because  *sings*  I love eggs.

Thanks to Ree’s spot-on recipe, I now can make myself a right good egginnabasket and do so often–so simple and so delicious MMmm.

In the last few weeks I have endeavored to perfect my egg making skills, wanting to reduce the dawg’s egg breakfasts and increase my own enjoyment.

See, eggs are odd for me. I love them (sparing you the singing this time), but am funny about them. Over easy eggs must have lovely runny yolks but firm whites–NO slimy whites! *shudder*

This is a common problem for me, perfect yolk yet the white is not quite done…*bigger shudder*.

Alton Brown to the rescue with–I kid you not– A Guide to Eggs!  I saw this guide to eggs in the recent issue of Food Network magazine then sought out the link online to share–it’s life changing for those of us who love eggs, I tell ya!
