I am not a good cook. What are some great things to spice up your regular bacon and eggs breakfast?

Syrup!

Put franks red hot in your eggs. You’ll never eat better eggs.

a good jalapeno hot sauce. and try good canadian bacon instead of the ordinary kind.

Fried bacon and egg sandwich on buttered jalepeno cheese bread.

You can do a lot with omelettes and frittatas.

And what kind of eggs we’re talking here? Scrambled? Add some milk to make it fluffy
And don’t cook the bacon in high heat, I hate burnt bacon.

red pepper flakes
minced scallions
truffles
chives
tarragon
rosemary
flavoured cream cheese (at room temperature)

I can’t believe no one has said this yet
sriracha!
I am disappoint, Fluther!

what is sriracha? I have never heard of that

A teaspoon of chopped garlic and a splash of milk mixed into 3 eggs before you scramble them.

Red tastiness you can find in Asian supermarkets
anyone who disagrees should be put to death!

I often make mine into a bacon, onion, potato omlet.

sriracha is Thai hot sauce.
Not for my bland-food-loving taste buds.

Add pancakes? (Or toast.)

If you’re not firm on the bacon thing, you can make scrambled eggs in the microwave that are really tasty—spray a microwaveable container with nonstick spray. Scramble an egg (or 2) in the bowl. Cook for 1 minute, stir, cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Voila! Scrambled eggs. (Well, it’s more omelette-like, but still. And it’s great on toast!)

Also, cheese is yummy in scrambled eggs. Anything works—cheddar, mozzarella, monterey jack…but the really yummy stuff is smoked cheese. Delicious.

Top with feta cheese and dry mint leaves or spinach.

I have a japanese friend that spinkles cinnamon for a sweeter taste.

Begin with a good cook book (Joy of Cooking would be an excellent choice). As you work your way through it you will learn a lot about the craft of cooking. I did.

Eggie In The Hole:

1. Cut a hole in a piece of bread with a small glass
2. Put the slice of bread in a pan with sizzling butter
3. Crack an egg and drop it in the hole
4. Fry the bread/egg, and add salt and pepper to your liking
5. Cook so that it is semi-runny
6. Enjoy your Eggie In The Whole, my ultra-favorite breakfast

I was always a fan of what we called egg-hole bread. Toast the bread, cut a hole in the toasted bread, drop the egg in.. fry it up.. serve with syrup… soo hungry right now.. thanks a lot… than as an after snack all the holes you cut out with a little jam or butter or whatever….

Vegetables and cheese. Some excellent matches with eggs and cheese include diced onion, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, tomatoes, avocado, roasted red peppers.

blagk! runny eggs are the narsty

Wheat germ & mozarella omelette lightly salted and peppered. Mmmmm, mmmm. (I love the nutty taste of wheat germ.)

@Mtl_zack We call those “popeyes!” My kids like the egg fried hard, with a little shredded cheddar cheese sprinkled on top.

Our favorite: Whisk the eggs in a bowl with some milk. Cook for a bit, and when they are not quite done, stir in some diced sopressatta (dried Italian sausage) and mozzarella cheese. I’ve also had this with brie, and it is to die for. Throw in some diced tomatoes too.

Whenever we have leftover ham, potatoes, steak, or Italian sausage, we chop it up and add it to scrambled eggs with some cheese. Roasted red peppers are good, along with onions, green peppers, tomatoes, or mushrooms. Whatever combination sounds good to you will probably work.

Adding salsa when serving the eggs is easy and adds a nice spicy touch.

experience eggs in different ways than the norm. if you really like them, you are open to nuances of the egg,,,

instead of scrambled, try fried or open-faced.

just pour the cracked egg in a hot skillet of butter and flip once. the yolk will be runny, but great for dipping with your wheat toast and lots of protein.

make an egg, cheese and turkey bacon or sausage omelet with peppers and onions.

or scramble eggs with cheese, turkey sausage peppers and onions and top on a croissant. (jelly optional) make a sandwich…

Fried egg sandwiches—toast, cheese, fried egg, cooked bacon slices, sliced tomato. Yum!

replace the disgusting bacon with delicious ham

Scrambled eggs, (best scrambled hard) with cooked rice. Add Ketchup! I had never heard of this delicacy before I met my wife, but my kids swear by it!

feta or mozzarella cheese, and dill in scrambled eggs. so good.

Fill an oven proof bowl with grated cheese, crack two eggs on top and bake in the oven for about ¾ of an hour or until eggs look firm… Yummy :)

Fry up some potatoes with garlic and onions. remember, everything’s better with bacon.

Learning to cook eggs is not so simple. I worked as a short-order cook through high school and college. Mostly, what you have to master is saute skills. Pretty much every egg dish can be prepared in a pan. Poached eggs require the most technique, in my opinion. I have seen more people screw those up than any other egg dish. The concept is pretty simple: to essentially steam an egg so what it yields is a soft-boiled egg not in the shell. If you like that sort of thing, you can master eggs. The rest is just frying, flipping and/or scrambling. I was introduced to the three-minute egg traveling in Europe and Asia and it is a really perfect food, too. It is maybe too trying on the patience of a typical American (some folks I know don’t like to eat whole crab for this same reason).

Anyhow, here is a tip: if you like a poached egg, try basting instead. It’s easier, faster, cleaner. What you do is heat up a small non-stick pan (was it the Frugal Gourmet who used to say, “hot pan, cold oil”) on medium-high heat and toss in a bit of oil to coat the bottom (if there is more than the thinnest film of oil, swish out the excess) or, for more flavor, butter. If the pan isn’t hot, the eggs will stick. But, if it is too hot, they will burn. The butter will scorch, too. Now, gently crack in your 2–3 eggs. You might want to turn the heat down some. Let the eggs start to turn white. You can flip them now or leave them sunny side up. Take a lid or plate or what-have-you and drop about a teaspoon of water into the pan and cover for about a minute. You might get splattered if you aren’t careful. Steam should press out from under the lid. This technique works well for melting cheese quickly too, which is even more delicious on poached eggs or hamburgers. If my pan is too hot, I just turn the heat off at this point. Anyhow, it takes some tinkering to make these the way you might want them. The yolk should not be cooked really. Just a few minutes of cooking time. Toss on some coarse salt, some fresh ground pepper and some gorgonzola. Best served with something toasted that can sop up all that yolky protein that is going to smear all over your plate. English muffins or some fluffy fresh biscuits should do nicely. Say, this is making me hungry.

I can describe exactly how I make poached eggs, omelets, etc. if you’re interested.

Cheddar and black pepper are your best friends. And if you like sausage, cut it up and mix it in with the scrambled eggs. After that, drizzle syrup over the whole mess. Final step…
Enjoy.
