    the only time I really enjoy eggs is when I make a Spanish tortilla.
    the rest of the time I do not like the taste or the smell of it.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    I am not sure what double fried, coddled, deviled or benedict eggs are.
    According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

    Benedict is poached egg on a bed of hollandaise sauce and bread or toast.
    I do not know the rest either. deviled sounds spicy with tomatoes to me but I really don't know haha

    I didn't realise I could pick more than one. In that case, I would also have picked omelette, scrambled, sunny-side up, poached, and hard boiled in addition to the soft boiled that I did vote for. I expect I would have voted for double fried, coddled, deviled and benedict too, once I knew for sure what they were.

    I imagine double-fried would be equivalent to "turned over" as we would say here. That is an egg that has been fried both on the top and the bottom without breaking the yolk.

    Eggs benedict is a weakness for me when I go out for brunch, and this thread reminds me that I haven't had any in a long time.

    Just fyi a deviled egg is a hard boiled egg that has been cut in half and the yolk scooped out. The yolk is then mixed with spices and other ingredients then placed back inside one half of the egg-white. It's usually served at parties or social events as an appetizer.

    I picked double fried. My favourite way to eat eggs though is you put eggs, rice, salsa, mushrooms, onions and hot spices into a frying pan and mix them all together. Delicious.

    So if double-fried is different to fried, why isn't fried on the list! The greatest egg of all time!!!! Goes great with some fried bacon, tomato and toast.

    A brie omlette is one of my favourite lunch dishes... a real shame it isn't all that healthy...

    ...ooh, does baking count? There's usually at least one egg in most of the cakes and biscuits that rattle out of my kitchen!

    Girls always liked my eggs, but I like eggs over easy on a bed of steamed rice with butter and parmesan cheese.

    I like my eggs to be sure of their raison d'etre.

    I also like them fried, poached and in omelettes. I don't dislike them done the other ways either.

    I love eggs, but I can't stand runny yolk - it makes me gag, so sunny side up, coddled, soft boiled are all out.

    I mostly like them fried. I also like soft boiled eggs especially for my breakfast.

    I love eggs whichever way they're done but my current favourite is crumpegg form. Toast 2 crumpets then spread with butter. Lightly fry the yolks of two eggs. Place the egg yolks on top of your crumpets and squish in so the lovely runny yolks drizzle down into the crumpet holes. Slight sprinkling of salt. Chomp. Gorgeous.
