How do you like your eggs

[Pearl327]

I am trying to get back into eggs again. I ate so much of them when TTC DS that I got sick of eating them and have only had the odd one or two a week again now since DD2 was born. I was never a great egg lover anyway.

So ideas and inspiration please for eating up to 4 eggs a day as I am not the type of person to eat a hard boiled egg on its own for a snack.

I'm a big quiche girl. It's easy to make mini quiches in jumbo muffin tins. Otherwise, omelettes and scrambled eggs are easy to switch up ingredients to change it up.

I'm in a similar place though. I ate so many eggs when pregnant that I have an aversion to them now!

Is 4 eggs a day necessary though? 1-2 is recommended for boy sways, isn't it?

1-2 is recommended but I think pearl is determined to do exactly as she did before with her first boy sway :)

If you don't like hard boiled what about soft? So so good when cooked right it's like a fried egg in the go!! My preference has been either the soft boiled or fried eggs. However omelettes are a great way to get onions and garlic in with your eggs! Nom nom!

I am on the 4 eggs a day because I am a vegetarian so atomic recommended the more eggs the better. I think she said 4-6 eggs a day to me last time and I don't think I hit 4 eggs many of the days 3 was my usual. I just thought we could share egg meals while I try to get my egg mojo back. Plus my mum just gave me 3 dozen eggs from her hens and I need to use them too.

Soft eggs just turn my stomach. It has to be completely set for me. I was just saying that I couldn't eat a hard boiled egg on its own without mayo or chilli sauce and with crackers or bread.

I forgot about quiche. I do like them. I also came across a recipe today for a pizza omelette. Cook your omelette like normal in the pan then when set top with pizza sauce, your favourite toppings and cheese and pop it under the grill.

I used to make a casserole with eggs, ham, cheese, and diced potatoes then bake it in the oven. You basically just mix it all together with some milk then pour it into a baking dish. Really easy to make. I also like salads with sliced hard-boiled egg on top. Egg sandwiches are good too with a fried egg (I use water to cook it because eggs cooked in oil grosses me out) then add a slice of cheddar and ham or bacon if you like.

Oh! Carbonara is a good one too. Even if you don't add bacon, using eggs to thicken pasta is a good way to incorporate them without really noticing them

I go through phases where I eat tons of them and phases where they repulse me, so if you are finding you can't do it, I suspect it may be you possibly don't NEED them the way some people do and you're just not into them for that reason.

I am always up for eating some french toast though!!!

My favorite ways to have them are in a soft taco with cheese and salsa for breakfast, as a fried egg sandwich with mustard (this is way better than it sounds), and on a buttered bagel with American cheese.

I also will eat egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs sometimes, or put hardboiled eggs into potato salad and have them that way.

:agree: yes I love to see vegetarians have 4 a day if they can. It's a chore though and if you literally can't choke em down, just do what you can. :agree:

I usually just go for scrambled on toast with tomato sauce

I have been having 2-3 eggs most days just fried in butter with a slice of wholemeal toast or some meat but after being eating so many of them since October/November last year I am finding it hard to stomach them as well. This week I am having a break from them & am instead eating a toasted ham & cheese sandwich for lunch. Hopefully I will feel like eating them again soon, I very rarely ate eggs when i conceived my daughters so feel that eggs are something i should try to eat. I am also going to make a quiche or two on the weekend & keep in the freezer.

I feel the same farm girl, I didn't eat any eggs in the few months before both my DDs were conceived and I ate a lot of them when TTC DS.

So when I start HE properly probably next summer. ( I know, I am an obsessive planner) the following will having at least 1 of these per day.
Boiled/scrambled/fried eggs for breakfast at weekends
Egg mayonnaise salad and sandwiches, quiche ( I have a lovely spinach & feta one with 5 eggs and pine nuts) and cold frittata with salads for lunch
Dinner options.
Sticky egg rice as a side to lentil dhals and chickpea currys
Pizza omelette
Greek omelette
Egg Burrito
Savoury clafoutis- cheese, tomato & olives
Egg pasta with the eggy sauce

I have never had devilled eggs before. So I am going to give them a go too. I just need to have a variety as if I eat the same thing everyday I will end up eating less.

Thanks everyone
