Spanish eggs:

-cook a bunch of tomatoes, hot peppers and onion in a frying pan which has a fitting lid.
-when the tomato starts to steam, crack 3 eggs carefully on the top of the mixture
-cover and wait

It's done when the yolk gets cloudy and white. Enjoy on it's own.

Nice. Do you make your own hollandaise sauce?

>>19318685
I use freshly cooked rice.
The heat of the rice cooks the egg.

>>19318725
No

>>19318726
Can you elaborate? You crack some eggs into cooking rice?
>>19318730
lol I guess it's probably just as good.

>>19318730
I like those spice packets. I just grab a few and buy whatever else it needs.

>>19318737
>lol I guess it's probably just as good
not even close. it doesn't even taste like the same kind of sauce. this>>19318730 is basically just slightly hollandaise flavored mayo.
all those companies are way too greedy to use the expensive ingredients that you need for real hollandaise, especially butter. look at the list of ingredients, it will make you laugh (and very sad)

if you want to make real hollandaise it's very easy with this method. eating asparagus without homemade sauce is like getting a steak and not using salt

Cram em..the heat from my ass cooks the egg
Simple as

i coat cubed potatoes in olive oil and spices, then put them in the oven. meanwhile caramelize onions, add garlic, tomatoes, herbs, paprika, cream cheese or yogurt. add the baked potatoes and mix. poach eggs in the mixture. cover.
you can break the yolk or stir them after cooking some.

I crack it into your boyfriends ass and then scramble it with my dick and he sharts it into your mouh

I am really bad at making eggs, so omelette is about the most advanced I'll get.
I am interested in Eiernockerl though, so I might try that.

I've been meaning to try making tigerskin eggs

>What's the fanciest way to cook eggs in your repertoire?
Put it back in the chicken until it's soft-boiled. Takes about 2 hours.

Not him, but it's one of the first things I learned to cook. How does the mix compare to fresh?

I make really good scrambled eggs and over easy, also omelettes.

I can’t poach and egg for my life because I think hard boiled egg whites are fucking gross so I never learned.

>>19318685
it do be egg hours on /ck/

>>19318685
poached or french omelet are considered the fanciest eggs and I can do both but I still prefer common American-style scrambles and omelettes. I love boiled eggs too, with a runny - but not raw - yolk in the center of course.

I've never tried making salt-cured egg yolks before but I would love to try because it makes a great topping for things.

not that anon but those mixes taste fine but still noticeably different than the real thing. Some of those mixes don't even contain egg but rather egg flavor. The one that anon posted though, the McCormick brand, has real egg in it.

But you can skip making hollandaise sauce the regular way without using those packaged mixes while having real hollandaise flavor by simply making a starch gel in a pan and adding egg yolks and butter to it and cooking until the mixture thickens.

with the starch gel, you do not have to worry about the sauce splitting or the eggs curdling at all. you can even bring the sauce to a full boil and it will still be smooth. the starch gel keeps the proteins from coagulating. try it next time you want hollandaise.

Last one from my regular grocery store.
"Reese Hollandaise Sauce" 1 rating, 2 stars (out of 5).
This one's liquid, not a mix.

Ingredients
Water, Eggs, Soybean Oil And/or Canola Oil, Modified Corn Starch, Egg Yolk, Salt, Lemon Juice, Butter (Pasteurized Sweet Cream, Salt), Apple Cider Vinegar, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Whey, Sodium Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives), Turmeric, Maltodextrin, Enzyme, Modified Butter, Annatto, Citric Acid, Artificial And Natural Flavors, Soy Lecithin, Mono- And Diglycerides, Beta Carotene, Vitamin A Palmitate.

Warnings

OK, despite the low rating this one has both eggs and butter. Lemon juice too, which should be the only three ingredients in actual Hollandaise.

this one is closest to mayonnaise because it has more vegetable oil than butter and it even comes in a jar.
