Oogy googy eggs

[gemfyre]

Eggs pose a dilemma for me.

I LOVE the yolk, especially runny yolk on toast. OMG bliss, if only someone could invent a way to jar it and sell it as a spread, I would so be there. When frying or boiling my eggs, I like to leave the yolk runny.

But then the white gets in the way. The white is almost tasteless, and it has the texture of snot. NOT appetising at all and sometimes downright nauseating for me. I am improving in my egg white consumption abilities, but I'm not keen on boiled egg white, no matter how well it's cooked and when frying eggs, I prefer my whites to be crispy.

You see the problem? I like my yolks undercooked and my whites overcooked, it's a no-win situation. A lot of the time I'll end up forcing the white down with plenty of toast or something, or just abandoning it and consuming the yolk.

I have poached eggs in the microwave and the results are pretty decent. I can never get the yolk to still be runny tho if I have the whites cooked to my liking. It's a heap easier and neater than poaching eggs in a frypan though.

The other night I had crumbed fish and didn't want the rest of the egg I used to go to waste. I hemmed and hawed and eventually whacked it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Instant scrambled egg/omlette thingy! It was good.
