What are some of your favorite egg dishes? I'm always up for something other than the traditional eggs. Do you prefer brown or white? What have you found to be the best way to cook a hard boiled egg?
My favorite egg dish is deviled eggs. And I prefer the white eggs myself. Brown is a little bit more potent than I like in an egg.
The best way I have found to boil an egg is to slightly crack it (just enough to hear a pop, but no cracks), which in itself is an art.. lol.. Then bring to a boil, shut off and let sit 10 mins, no more, no less.
This will give you a pretty yellow yolk (no green) and the hot water will seep into the cracked egg and gently seperate the membrane from the shell... making it easier to peel....

You hard boil some eggs (whatever amount you'd like), then cut in half lengthwise, remove yolks. Smash yolks with a fork until all fine and crumbly. Add mayo (miracle whip I prefer) and mustard (sometimes I use different flavored mustards), stir together and refill white indents with filling. Dust lightly with paprika.
Nice, quick little snack!

brown, chocolate brown, red, blue, white, pink, cream, beige, green, speckled
we get all sorts of colors of eating eggs, but the color makes no difference in flavor. I do prefer free ranged eggs however. richer in vitamins and color.
I really like duck eggs.

I love eggs. Deviled eggs are really good. My favorite dish is a fritata where you brown some country style hash browns with chopped onion and bell pepper, add some cooked bacon or sausage, pour beaten eggs over it and put in a 350 degree oven for thirty minutes. Top with cheese and enjoy the pleasure of eating it. We also like chorizo and eggs. That is our oldest daughters favorite meal. When I make potato salad it has an equally amount of egg and potato so it is almost an egg salad with potatoes in it. Ummm!
I never heard your method of popping the egg first and most cook books well tell you to boil them for 20 minutes so I never tried just ten and turning the water off as soon as it reaches a boil. I will have to give it a try.

Actually I got this from Alton Brown on Food Network. He suggested it, I tried it and found that more often than not, you can get a nice egg out of this. I really hate it when you peel an egg and half of it comes off with the shell.

I like them that way from time to time as well, but that is one of those things I have to be in the mood for the runny yolks.
