    I can't say I eat eggs every day, but I can say MOST days.
    Sunny side up
    Over easy
    soft boiled
    lace curtains
    hard boiled
    Toad in the hole
    the list goes on and on...

    And all those get togethers where we're to bring a covered dish. We do the covered dish AND a couple plates of deviled eggs. If we showed up without the deviled eggs we would get kicked out. Everyone expects us to bring them, they all think they are too much work to make...

    Steaming eggs is hard??? My wife and I both love eggs.

    How do you eat those? Like scrambled eggs or as a dessert?

    over easy or sunny side up but quick fried crispy brown in a very hot skillet with lots of oil... sop up the yolk and eat the rest on buttered toast.

    Grandma always did sunny side up and would pour a tablespoon of water in the skillet and cover it to poach the topside instead of risking breaking the yolk when flipping it.

    Mom would always flip for over easy but she always put mustard on her toast with eggs. She had a dedicated cast iron egg skillet that NEVER got used for anything else... Extremely non-stick for eggs.

    We never had cereal growing up, just eggs and toast for breakfast.

    Dang, I'm gonna have to go fry some more eggs...

    Mom is absolutely right, Gram taught us this early. My egg pan is her old #4, hangs on its own special hook next to the big cornbread pan so it doesn’t get confused with anything else even by accident. Once your egg pan is just right, it only has one purpose in life.

    Haven’t heard of lace eggs before. Breakfast tomorrow is decided, thanks

    Growing up, a good portion of the meat we had through the year was black bear and venison (my father rarely missed). Bear hash was probably my favorite, and I remember bringing bear hash sandwiches for lunch to elementary school (just some hash and yellow mustard on bread - awesome). As a kid, I never thought about it being unusual and figured that's just what everyone ate.

    The hash I made the other day is not the same as what my mother would cook as I used bear sausage. Hers was made using shredded bear from a cut like a roast (she never brined the bear meat like in true corned beef hash). I make that version as well, but this recipe with the sausage and diced potatoes was just simpler and quicker. Either way, it's still one of my favorites (I used the leftovers to make breakfast burritos, all still cooked in cast iron of course).
