Whats the best way to eat eggs with olive oil?

Question

This has been troubling me. I sometimes boil them and pour olive oil on them after - not bad, but this wastes the olive oil that toast dont soak up.

I never tried olive oil on fried or scrambled eggs though - have you?

Answer 1

Make mayonnaise with Olive oil and egg yolks, then use it mixed with hard boiled eggs and mustard and cress as a sandwich filling or use it with a green salad or baked potato filling.
Doubt that you will get a higher ratio of olive oil to eggs than this.

I always fry my eggs in olive oil, and you can always fry the bread in the oil that is left in the pan rather than toasting it.

Answer 2

I cook fried eggs with olive oil. I got a spray bottle from williams sonoma that is specifically for olive oil. You pump air into it, and it creates a spray can. Or you can pour about a tbsp in your skillet first before adding the eggs. I think it gives them a better taste and its not vegetable oil - its olive oil which is better for you anyway. You dont even need much. I think that you could do the same with scrambled eggs, just add a tsp then scramble them. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Fry your eggs gently, over easy; spoon the hot oil over the yolk until a white film appears. Scoop out the egg and add just a tiny spoonful of the hot oil on your plate, to soak your bread in. And Please use a good, wholegrain bread for dipping!
I've never eaten fried eggs any other way. Also a good oil for omelettes and scrambles. The taste and aroma of hot olive oil are unbeatable.

Answer 4

Simple instead of using butter use olive oil to scramble your eggs in the skillet.

Answer 5

I've cooked eggs with olive oil out of the spray can,they say
olive oil is better for you than butter or cooking oil.

Answer 6

I make toast with olive oil. I cook my wife's fried egg in olive oil. I make my egg-white omelette with olive oil. It infuses all of these with that wonderful, deep flavor. Butter tastes horrible to me, now.

Answer 7

Eww no, too much oil! What is GORGEOUS though, is boiled egg with runny yolk, lightly drizzle asparagus tips with olive oil and dip them into the egg, mmmmmmmmm!

Answer 8

Yes to scrambled. Works great, better if you dice a little onion and garlic too, a little fresh basil.

Answer 9
