When was the last time you ate an egg?

Quite a few of us here love eggs. When was the last time you ate an egg and how was it cooked?

2 scrambled with cheese on either Monday or Tuesday. The cheese was some Mexican white cheese (straight out of Mexico, no clue which one exactly because the package wasn't labeled) and a blend of 4 cheeses but can't tell you which ones because I repackaged it and threw the original package away. Cheese also freezes nicely.

I've never thought of freezing cheese!

The last egg I ate was poached egg on toast at 2 am this morning - liberally sprinkled with Tabasco.

I ate two this morning for breakfast soft boiled with soldiers.

Breakfast this morning. Poached. Well, I bought the eggs, but you know what I mean.

How many soldiers and were they special forces?

Personally I like Marmite soldiers with my boiled eggs.

I hard boiled some eggs at the beginning of the week and had egg mayo sandwiches for 3 days, Monday with a bit of left over bacon, Tuesday with porkcheta bought on yellow sticker, Wednesday with spinach leaves.

porkcheta bought on yellow sticker

What is that?

What is that?

My guess would be some kind of pig on sale.

So here is a question for you @Yorky. How many eggs do you eat in a week? You have to be the egg champion!

Someone else asked me that recently during a discussion on "are eggs good or bad for you?". I reckon if the week's food does not include an omelette, an average of eight. If an omelette is on the menu, probably ten.

I usually have an egg daily for breakfast - quite often coddled (a nicer method than boiling it), although sometimes poached or scrambled.

To coddle the egg, I pierce the wider end of the egg with a skewer (to allow the air to escape and so not break the egg) and bring water to the boil. Then I place the egg in (with a teaspoon) and lower the heat to medium, letting it simmer for 1 minute.

Then leave it in the pan but off the heat for 4 mins. The perfect soft egg with velvety egg white, i.e. not tough.
I eat it with sourdough toast and organic butter.
