There must be no love for the humble scrambled egg on toast.
A late friend introduced me to what he called 'Polish eggs' - no idea if it's actually a polish recipe but he was just back from Poland. Its now a bit of weekly staple for me as 'Mark's Eggs' which is eggs scrambled into fried diced onion, oregano and a bit of chilli
You’re like the fried egg Taliban!
To paraphrase the line from the Blues Brothers
"We like both kinds of egg, fried and boiled"

toasted muffin
I've never had a toasted muffin that wasn't a doughy, unpleasant disappointment.
I'll have some crunchy toast, thanks
I'm just resurrecting this thread to confirm - contrary to popular opinion 🙂 - @binners is a genius. Or at least an 'Egg Auteur'.
Our Swan egg wrangler does indeed make perfect poached eggs (with a bit of experimentation) with far less hassle/mess than having to boil water in a pan 😉 Also offpsring are home for xmas and both have a not-lost-from-childhood love of eggy soldiers. Again the miracle of the steaming egg machine has delivered perfect sogginess for dipping.
Toast of course. We're not savages
Poached Eggs on toast here these morning, quite “normal” yet seasoned with cayenne pepper. Lovely.
Cayenne or chilli flakes for me. That and double espresso cranks the lever from 'still mostly asleep' to 'wide awake' 🙂
My better half is recalculating how many eggs we need to get us through the xmas break. Can't see my normal porridge getting a look in for a few days!
@Alex - glad that’s been a worthwhile purchase. For something that costs 20 quid they really are a truly marvellous device. Ours gets used all the time.
I’d love to take the title ‘Egg Auteur’ but can’t take much credit as it was Mrs Binners who discovered it
You’re right though, that once you’ve done a couple of experimentation to get your timing bang on for how you like them, it’s perfect hassle-free poached of boiled eggs every time
I think I’ll get ours out now and have some eggy soldiers for breakfast myself
Swan egg wrangler
I thought only the King was allowed to eat Swan Eggs, along with the euphemistically named 'Coronation Chicken'. Great big white angry 'coronation chickens' that can break a mans arm.
For something that costs 20 quid they really are a truly marvellous device. Ours gets used all the time.
Yeah looks like I might have to buy two more or risk having ours stolen 🙂
I thought only the King was allowed to eat Swan Eggs,
I'm a republican and don't recognise privileges for the monarchy 🙂 I have however been 'taken down' by a dodgy coronation chicken once!
