Scrambled Eggs

It is almost difficult for me to write about scrambled eggs considering the price of eggs these days have literally flown the chicken coop. I will still buy them at a fair price, otherwise I am leaving them in the store.
That just means, I am buying many less eggs than I used to until the price comes way, way down.
Right now I am willing to pay no more than $1.99 for a dozen.
But I do love scrambled eggs, and rarely have them without something added in. Usually I will pick some sort of meat to add like bacon, sausage, hot dogs, ham or something like that. I almost always cook onions in as well. Often times I will add a pepper like red, yellow, orange, or green. Sometimes I like to add in mushrooms or potatoes.
Sometimes I put all of the above in them.
Oh, and cheese. I always like to add shredded cheese to my scrambled eggs as well. It's almost a must.
And I make them in rather large batches. Usually 8-12 eggs depending on the time of the day I eat them. And if we don't eat them all? No worries. They make for fine leftovers to take for lunch at work or just have for a snack later on. Or I can make breakfast burritos out of them and add a little salsa or avocado or both.
I often like to drizzle a bit of ketchup on my scrambled eggs too. That's just good eats.
How do you like your scrambled eggs?

I have to agree with her. Ketchup just doesn't jive for me on eggs in any form. I've often wondered why, I know people like it that way. I do put fresh chopped tomatoes in omelets and love them that way. But ketchup, no. I love tomatoes and put them in a lot of my cooking, but I am not a fan of ketchup.

I can just see @NJChicca when she reads this, lol. I like most of the add ins, but the ketchup is too far over the edge for me.

@porwest my daughter loves eggs too so when we cook a big breakfast I eat everything except the eggs . I don't know where my dislike of eggs comes from but even as a young child I never like them.

@Marilynda1225 Sometimes you just don't like something. I can't stand sweet potatoes but many people I know love them.

I had never had scrambled eggs. I never made them. I think ketchup would be good on them. It sounds like all you had could be what one puts in an omelet. An omelet is what I can make but have not made in ages. Sounds like you have the leftovers in control and have ways to deal with them.

Those look really good. I paid about $4 for a dozen of cage free brown eggs this morning. I just like the brown ones best for some reason.

@porwest They have not gotten too high here in Oregon. Maybe we didn't have as much bird flu as other states.

@JamesHxstatic Anything over the 69 cents per dozen I was paying a year ago is too high. lol. They have been running between $4 and $9 a dozen depending on where you go. Honestly, I have never paid over $2 a dozen ever in my life.

Definitely with cheese. Bacon if I had some. I used to make scrambled eggs every Sunday for my hubby. When we had dogs I would scramble an egg just for them. They were nuts for eggs.

@porwest As soon as they heard me scrambling the eggs they would be by my feet, waiting. I sure miss that.

@LindaOHio Of the two cats, the one that does that is Cal. He goes nuts for any food. Incorrigible actually. I swear he thinks he's a dog or something.

I like runny sunny-side ups. Runny scrambles are fun too.
Imo, the best thing about eggs is how you cook 'em. Like, there's just a ton of ways to fry an egg. You can get the bottom part seared brown with the yolk runny, all cooked evenly, or have cheese and onion leaves sticking on the top. I like cooking eggs with chopsticks because it makes things a little harder while also letting me pick up the eggs and fold it over even though it's a sunny-side up!
Still though, can't imagine not having eggs for breakfast. There were times when they got too expensive here, I had a hard time trying to get my egg fix! :(
