Speaking of omelettes. An omelette is not flat scrambled eggs folded in half like a floppy taco with some poo poo in the middle.

Hashbrowns. God I love hashbrowns. Hashbrowns with some hot sauce on 'em, along with runny eggs and some hot sausage. Big glass of fresh orange juice too.
I want to feel the sodium flowing in my veins for at least a week afterward.

I will also accept biscuits and gravy.

We went to some place called the Silver Diner which had pretty expensive omelettes. I got it thinking it would be good, but it looked like it was just some fake egg that had all the contents mixed into the egg. It was gross.

found it on google

Biscuits and sausage gravy is probably the pinnacle of breakfast foods imho,�its only flaw is that it doesn't include eggs, so it's nice to maybe throw an over easy egg next to them. If you don't put a ton of sausage in that gravy, get hosed.

Extremely spicy noodle soup (pho, ramen, whatever) is also a very good breakfast item.

Lox bagel is also god tier breakfast.

I'll put hard fried eggs on a sandwich sometimes, but honestly runny yolk is where it's at.

This was my breakfast for about a year of my getting my undergraduate degree. Parking at my university sucked so I'd have to sit and wait in a parking lot while smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. I miss those days.

over easy is fried on both sides so the yolk is cooked under the white, sunny side up is fried on one side and the yolk is visible

Over easy eggs are flipped "over" and look like this:

Sunny side up aren't flipped and look like this:

they're both sorta tricky and I'm not very good at either, but they are both my favorite style of egg

Sunny side up means the eggs are fried and never turned. Over easy means they are then flipped over and fried just long enough to cook the runny part on top but not long enough to harden the yolk Fried means they are cooked on both sides and the yolk is hardened.

The absolute worst way to start a morning is to go for over easy but leave it like 15 seconds too long and it turns out over hard. Or even worse if it breaks the yolk when you flip it. Might as well go back to sleep and try again tomorrow.

A lot of breakfast places gently caress this up, and you end up with sausage gravy seriously lacking in chunks of sausage. Its a god drat disgrace.

Local greasy spoon has the best breakfasts.

#4 - two eggs of your liking over a bed of corned beef hash, covered in hollandaise. Your choice of toast (I recommend the swedish rye)

Southern omelette - omelette filled with onion, hash brown, sausage, cheese. Topped with sausage gravy.

You can feel your arteries harden in real time and it owns.

Once in a while: Steak and eggs and toast at Waffle House with steak rare, eggs over easy and hash browns with jalapeno onions and mushrooms. Coffee and water and orange juice.

Most days: bagel with cream cheese and prosciutto or smoked salmon.

In my experience if it's a cheap place it's pretty much something like this https://www.mccormick.com/spices-and-flavors/recipe-mixes/gravies-and-sauces/sausage-country-gravy-mix without sausage, only sausage flavor.

Gross.

Isn't that like haddock fried rice? You guys aren't selling me on the fish-for-breakfast thing.

Like the lox bagel I could at least entertain because the salmon is such a unique flavor.

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal but I almost never eat it. Only if I go out or something.

This place by me has an Alaskan smoked salmon benedict that's awesome. It has dill and capers on top of the hollandaise. Also they use their homemade bread instead of english muffins.

I'd make eggs at home but I like them over-easy and I'm too afraid to break the yolk. I might have to try the sunny-side up with covering it sometime. Or the egg-in-the-hole since that seems like it'd be easier to flip the whole thing. I actually have a dozen eggs in my fridge right now. I should use them.

Capers and dill are an excellent pairing on that.

Please do the covering thing, you see how perfectly round the eggs are in the pic I quoted? it's because that's the exact pan size, it's the small little frying pan your set comes with, but it needs to be at least somewhat decent. You'll have a lid for a sauce pan that perfectly matches it, or is drat near close.
Get butter underway in it to a light froth and crack your eggs into it and keep it low (somewhere between a 5.5 and a 7) on an electric, be a little patient. When you see the edges lift and you swirl the butter around them just kinda shimmy the pan by jerking the hand with the wrist. The eggs should slide without breaking, they'll just kinda slip around for SHORT distances in the pan. If they're stuck you did it wrong. If they're swimming in fat or some other liquid, something else has gone wrong.

K. All set. Put like..I dunno, a shotglass of water in the lid and dump it in along the edge of the pan as you turn the lid over onto it, turn up the heat to about 9 and count out 15 seconds and then turn it back down. Count out another few seconds, whatever, then take the lid off, and if there's any water let it steam back off, and..poof, eggs like the picture in approximately 2.5 minutes of them hitting the pan every time.
Yolk will be a lil runny. Don't be a bitch so long as the whites set.

Then again, I'm the guy who will do the whole "use one half of an egg to separate the raw yolk" technique to make caeser dressing to toss with salad and have been doing so for eh...13 years now without getting sick. So...maybe I'm not your egg man.
