Do you fry your eggs in butter, margarine, bacon fat or something else.

    A little olive oil or some creamery butter in a properly "seasoned" skillet. (We have a couple of the copper skillets that work pretty well after they're "seasoned" plus the old stand-by cast iron skillets. 

    It's the trans-fats and the saturated fats that do you in, that boost your LDL levels. That's why triglyceride levels are all the rage now and HDL and LDL levels barely get a second glance unless they're really out of whack. The cholesterol in the eggs (or any other foods) have negligible effect on LDL levels, at least according to studies this week.

    I like my eggs slathered in hot salted butter, so as to make the texture silky and nutty tasting.

    Bacon fat works well but don't you just feel your arteries clogging?

    I make it in a variety of ways, try scrambled eggs by adding fried onions to it....it is yummy;)) in omelette too try and season it with fried onion, tomato, green chilies and turmeric....if you have;)) boiled eggs can again be put into gravy...made of sliced onions, minced garlic and thinly chopped tomatoes along with paprika and turmeric....if you have it as side dish with rice...it can be a sumptuous lunch menu too;))

    I like poached eggs, but they are too much trouble. What I do is break an egg into a coffee mug and put it in the microwave for less than a minute (depending on how runny I want the yolk that day). It needs no fat and comes out of the mug in a round shape that fits perfectly on an english muffin.

    I tried you 'recipee' and it worked great. Much more convenient to have the microwave take care of the timing than to remember to leave the computer First time in months i got an egg with soft yolk :D This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at October 22, 2017 1:18 AM MDT

    Lots and lots of butter to drown out the egg taste. Salt too. Lots of it.
