Egg-On-Top Meals

The pantry dinner is for the hardy and the tolerant. The most gourmet among us can hardly be expected to make a dinner just of frozen peas and barley; white rice with soy sauce, scallions and sesame seeds; or pasta with olive oil and Parm.

If the refrigerator can make one offering to the pantry in situations where there's not much in the house to eat, that contribution should be an egg. Fried or poached, or even scrambled, an egg or two turns humble staples into restaurant-worthy meals everyone can enjoy.

An egg sunny side up on a medium steak with either grits or penna pasta underneath, tea and a bloody-mary, yum.

All those years of the poor egg being victimized by the main stream media, it is good to see that it is finally being recognized as the best food ever. I have yet to meet an egg I didn't like. I never tried a thousand year old egg, so there is always a chance.

The polenta with red peppers and eggs sounds pretty good. Also,Red Robin has a burger that has a fried egg on it that is really good.Didn't sound so great at first,but was one of those things I had to try and am glad I did.

Two purposes for eggs, neither of which involve human consumption - Halloween and Easter

Where's the shakshouk?

At the risk of losing my rep here, I have to finally be serious for once.
I had no idea what shakshouk was. So I looked it up. It looks outstanding. Thanks for giving me another use for the great egg

Good thing you found it, as I made a typo. Should have been 'Shakshouka'. It is also written as 'Shakshuka/Shakshuga/Shakshouga'. Tips: 1) avoid recipes with too many veggies as it comes out more like a ratatouille, 2) make sure you have good tomatoes, a can of San Marzanos is fine, 3) roast the hot peppers first, then put them in a bag for a half hour to remove their skins, then add them in, 4) I like to use a nice mix of smoked and sweet paprika powder.

A fried egg on thick sour dough toast topped with sea salt. Amazing.

Although I love a good BLT, my favorite sandwich contains a fried egg, bacon and lettuce, good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
