Alright, so I pretty much love eggs... scrambled, sunny side, over easy, poached... but I generally like them as is, and not as a "topping" as it the latest craze.

Until today... I have 2 softboiled eggs on top of a Neapolitan pizza, and it blew my mind. absolutely delicious.

Had them on burgers and such... and meh. doesnt appeal to me... but wow... on a pizza, it was just something else.

So what say you? Eggs on, or eggs off?

 
I like eggs on almost anything: burgers, salads, steak, potatoes, a bowl of chili, you name it. I had eggs on a pizza in a restaurant in North Carolina nearly twenty years ago and it was great, but I havent seen something like that offered since.

Are those soft-ish, so when they are broken the yolk sauced the pizza? Mushrooms, Onions and Bacon?

Looks delicious!

 
Mexican spicy tomato sauce with eggs and cheese. Breakfast of champions (also known as huevos rancheros but most restaurants make them different from the picture in the link http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/eggs-recipes/mexican-breakfast/#sIB2sx5DFBDC2t74.97

I make them slightly different, with more chili and hold the bell peppers, but it looks the same.

And eggs on pizza with runny yolk is just great

ETA: with runny yolk is too messy on burgers. Without runny yolk is meh for me

My perfect breakfast when I am in hangover recovery:

- Crispy hashbrowns or potatoes cooked with a bit of grease

- Various peppers and some onions

- A few eggs with runny yokes on top

Mix all together add a touch of hot sauce. Add some chewy bacon if you are really hungry.

Cup of coffee. Big glass of water and an aspirin and I'm all good.

 
oh man i love eggs....Short ribs with runny quil egg on top, medium burger with slaw and sunny side up egg, red chili enchiladas with three eggs on top (New Mexico style).......the list goes on and on......

 
I don't like eggs. At all. I'll order an Eggs Benidict, hold the eggs because the eggs would ruin the dish.

We don't have a Steak n Shake here in town. But once a year, my wife has to see an eye specialist out of town where they do have one. I have the Royale. It's a double cheeseburger with bacon and a fried egg. Probably takes a few weeks off my life. But worth it.

if im gonna eat a steak, i wanna eat a damn steak... if youre gonna fry an egg and put it on top, that steak better be dog food grade

I only like eggs fully cooked. I like stuff in my eggs (onions, bacon, sausage) but not runny eggs on top of anything.

That's where I saw it back around 1999. Pizza Paolo.

They'd take the pizza out of the oven, then crack the egg in the middle.

ya, very common in france, tho the egg is usually "cooked" on top of the pie, and not soft boiled like I had it here.

Gotta say, prefer the soft boiled, by a landslide.

The picture you posted looked like poached.

I dunno a lot of culinary terms, but isn't soft boiled and poached the same thing?

Looked, felt and oozed just like an egg that tops an eggs benedict (which I know are called poached)

thought Ive seen the term used interchangeably.

(yes, I know hard boiled implies the eggs are boiled IN THEIR SHELL - so it would make sense that soft boiled means the same)

If so... they were 100% poached.

Soft boiled is boiled in the shell. Poached is cracked and poured into simmering water. They are different.

 
sounds good.

sunday I had half a leftover hamburger, peeled the top bun off, covered with 2 eggs sunny side up and slathered with New Mexico green chili sauce. that is heaven

 
I was never an egg guy growing up. Not sure why I started trying them a couple years ago, but I have egg sandwiches all the time. English muffin, bagel or maybe a croissant, some sort of meat (usually bacon or sausage), seasoning while cooking the egg and cheddar or Boar's Head american (not processed crap). Take a couple minutes to make and I love them runny, just use the yolk as sauce to almost dip in. One of my boys loves them and my wife will eat them in a lower calorie version. My other two boys sometimes eat eggs, but not in love with them.

I love eggs on burgers now, especially sunny side up and runny. It gets all over, but it tastes damn good. I get them almost like a breakfast sandwich with bacon, cheese and some mayo although the runny egg acts almost like a mayo. I haven't made the egg burgers at home, so maybe this summer I'll start, just need to figure out timing. Easy inside on the cook top, but burgers on the grill take a bit longer, so you can't start the egg early. I've only had eggs once on a steak and they were fantastic, but I think that had more to do with the steak itself being unbelievable. Actually, it may have been that steak that got me starting to eat eggs.

Timing is simple...turn heat on pan on stove a few minutes before you pull the burgers...pull burgers off, foil tent them. Cook eggs, which take like 3 minutes. Assemble burger and top with egg.
