    When I have eggs I always try something a bit different. Sometimes I fry onions in them and add a bit of beef broth.
    My favorite experience ever having an egg was one time when I was in Tokyo and I ordered some Katsu, which is a breaded sort of pork on top of rice with a little green in there. The chef cracked a raw egg on top of the pork and it sort of cooked and drizzled down over the really hot pork and into the rice. It was FANTASTIC.

      +FloorManiac P.s. I cant wait to try this poached eggs in the microwave thing! I used to scramble them in the microwave when I was a kid and wasnt allowed to use the stove.
      I have always felt like poaching eggs required a level of skill that I simply dont posses. Very intimidating. Your method gives me hope.

    Depends on the mood. Scrambled, poached, omelette, fried...been ages since I've had it, but boiled egg with buttered soldiers...and a hard boiled egg and tomato sandwich. :)
    As for poached egg on buttered toast - have to show some love for buttered crumpets, right?

      Katie Pix he did it the same way, he cracked the egg into water, the water covered the egg and then he stuck into the micro for 1 min. Though what put me off was you know that white slimy stuff u get on an egg. That was on it. So maybe I'll stick with ur method. I think I answered my own question lol
