I forgot all about pickled eggs. It's been quite awhile since I've done
any like that, but I remember they make a good snack, or appetizer.

I don't care for fried eggs where the white runs into the yolk and looks
like snot. I always ask for mine "medium", but some restaurants
apparently don't understand. I have one place where they are cooked to
perfection each time.

They are very busy for breakfast. They wanted to minimize variety of
orders I presume.

I made an omelet soufflé for brunch earlier this year. It had cream cheese
inside and a fresh strawberry sauce on top.

Almost no place will make them the way that my brother and I always
ordered them in the sixties, lightly basted.
Most servers wouldn't even know what you were talking about if you
said lightly basted.

I'm not a breakfast person, I do brunch. But I never eat eggs in the
early part of the day, I much prefer eggs for dinner... omelets are a
good way to clean out the fridge. I don't like bacon either, also
don't like breakfast sausage... but for brunch I like fermented
sausage like sopressata with hard breads, and fresh fruit.

I waited until there was no line at all, and the guy didn't mind at all.
What do you take me for? Well, don't answer that.

Few eateries will take an order for over easy medium because that's
the default. Over easy means flipped as soon as possible and then
cooked just to solidify the white. There is no such thing as over
easy medium... then it's over-well... no easy about it. If what you
want is over easy medium you'd best cook your own at home because
folks who ask for medium really want no part of the yolk runny or
they'll send it back. What those people really want is fried eggs
medium, no over. It's difficult to cook eggs for fussy eaters, they
really can't be satisfied... those squeamish types should never order
eggs out. It's the same with cooked in the shell eggs, there's hard
or soft, no medium... if you want what you define as a 3 minute egg
you'd best have your mommy cook it.

Pickled eggs to be worth eating really need to be prepared a week in
advance.

You'll have a more homogenous dish if you cook scrambled eggs in a
double boiler.

I had been making a Japanese recipe for a potato omelette, pre-cooked
(baked) potatoes, diced & added to the eggs to cook as an omelette.

I mentioned it, and seeing it on a Japanese cooking show and the person
i was talking to mentioned "Omelette Parmentier" the major difference
in the "classic" French recipe is the cooking of the raw diced potatoes
in butter till done and then adding the eggs and parsley.

I like to keep a few slightly underdone baked potatoes around to use for
this purpose, peel, cut into small dice and season with salt & pepper,
then into hot butter with mashed garlic to lightly brown, 3 - 5
minutes, and then add the beaten eggs & cook till done.

IMO the potatoes and eggs cooked together rather than merely served
together separately on the same plate have a "the whole is greater than
the sum of its parts" aspect, the 2 ingredients cooked together blend
their flavours better than if served separately.

I will garnish the freshly made hot omelette with grated cheese of sour
cream if available.

Checking some of my favourite French cook books i also found what is
described as 'a type of French style shepherds pie' "Hachis Pamentier"
served with "Sauce Lyonnaise" which is a brown onion sauce made with a
demi -- glace, Potage Parmentier which is a type of leek & potato soup,

Pommes Parmentier.

Season the potatoes with salt and freshly ground pepper add the garlic,
onion, rosemary and olive oil, mixing well.

In a heavy based frying pan heat the butter. Add the cubed potatoes and
fry until nut-brown, stirring now and then. Transfer the potatoes to an
ovenproof dish and bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes.

Garnish or toss the potatoes Parmentier with the bread crumbs and lemon
juice. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Serve with leek vinaigrette

For the pommes parmentier:

55 g butter
2 tsp. olive oil
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 clove garlic
1/2 onion, chopped
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves chopped, stems discarded
black pepper
2 tbs. bread crumbs
1/2 lemon

For the leeks vinaigrette:

2 leeks, cut into 10cm lengths
1 1/2 tbs. white wine vinegar
black pepper
3 tbs. olive oil


Poach the leeks in a saucepan containing water plus half a tablespoon of
white wine vinegar and salt for 12-15 minutes, until tender.

While the leeks are simmering whisk together the remaining vinegar and
olive oil to form a vinaigrette. Season with salt and freshly ground
pepper. Drain the leeks and toss while hot with the vinaigrette.

Garnish or toss the potatoes Parmentier with the leek vinaigrette.
Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

I remember the time in college I went to breakfast with a couple
middle eastern buddies, and they did not speak the best English and
their syntax needed some work. We went to a Bob's Big Boy out in CA,
and we were seated and the waitress was taking our orders and asked
the one Iranian guy how he wanted his eggs and he replied, "On a
plate."

I like scrambled or over easy; I love runny yolks and don't care for
hard yolks. Also omelets and Eggs Benedict, with the yolks runny.

Same here. My scrambled eggs are cooked at very low heat, 1/4 cup cream per four
eggs, and stirred constantly, like risotto, but with a whisk.

Usually I just scramble them. Sometimes I'll add in a bit of grated
cheddar. On rare occasions I like eggs fried over-medium.

I like omelets as long as they aren't filled with a bunch of stuff. Just
cheese and sometimes crumbled bacon, that's enough for me. I did have a
wonderful omelet at a small-town diner several years ago. I ordered a
bacon-cheese omelet. The server came back and said the cook had some brie,
would I like that [as opposed to cheddar]? Oh yes! It was fantastic!
Somehow I never expected to find brie in a little joint like that. Just
goes to show you can't always judge a book by its cover

Oh... I forgot about soft boiled eggs! Not too runny, but not hard boiled,
either. When I was a kid my mother would serve them mashed up in a coffee
mug with a dot of butter, S&P. She called it "egg-a-cup". (Hey, I was 5;
how do you explain explain soft-boiled eggs to a 5 year old? LOL) I still
make soft boiled eggs (still served in a coffee mug, too) a couple of times
a year. It's comfort food

why would he even bother asking? You ordered a bacon cheese omelet, and
Brie is cheese.

The menu most likely said cheddar. I think it was nice they asked and
offered an upgrade.

Because most people don't expect to find brie in a small town diner? Not
everyone likes brie. And the menu didn't specify brie. That's why.

you didn't say the menu specified any specific type of cheese. Some people
don't like Cheddar.

if the menu only specified "cheese", I don't get it. But, as I don't like
restaurant omelets, I don't even look at that section of the menu so I don't
know what they typically say. As Lou points out, it probably said
"cheddar", in which case I understand that they would check to see if the
substitution would be acceptable to the customer.

If I were in a diner and ordered a bacon cheese omelet I would not
expect Brie either.


Speaking of Brie.... One of my favourite canapes is crackers with cream
cheese and hot red pepper relish. My wife is always urging me to try the
crackers and pepper jelly with Brie. She had it at a friend's house one
day. I keep telling her that cream cheese is bland and the pepper jelly
spices it up and give sit flavour. Cream cheese is relatively cheap.
Brie tends to be much more expensive and it is much better. It does not
need the pepper jelly.

In better than 99.9% of diners the menu doesn't specify which cheese
is in their cheese omelet, however better than 99.9% of diner patrons
anticipate American cheese. You're just another dumb shit stirring
Rican, Pico Rico... a typical stupid spic is what you are... your
mother is a stupid spic, your sisters are stupid spic hoes, and you
don't even know which stupid spic is your daddy.

You are 100% correct. Tell your wife her friends have TIAD. Hot
peppers are added to cheap nondescript cheese; cream cheese, American
cheese, jack cheese, even cottage cheese... but adding hot peppers to
brie is like braising veal shanks in rootbeer... then you can call
them veal skanks.

All my omelets are American. American grown eggs, cheese from an
American dairy, other American ingredients at least mostly, and an
American cook. Importing one from France would be stupid.

If you call it an omelet it's French. There is no such thing as an
American omelet.

This menu made no mention of a choice of cheeses. Sorry I didnt mention
cheddar before! The server seemed rather surpised to offer it as a choice.

buffoon!

Just because we use the French word, doesn't mean all omelets are French or
of French origin, or anything else for that matter.

What's this "we"... yup, typical spic is in a gang.

Just because *you* call an egg dish an omelet doesn't make it so, a
frittata is not an omelet, neither is quiche... an omelet is a very
specific egg dish. But you are a dumb spic in any language. Did you
know that a dumb spic is the dumbest of the dumb... compared with a
dumb spic dumb dagos and dumb micks are Einsteins. LOL-LOL
