My current egg kick is similar to yours: scrambled to fluffy and moist with
black pepper, but I top with a pat of butter while they are still hot.
Yum!.

I also like mine scrambled, to the point where they are fluffy and
moist --just as you said. However, I leave mine unseasoned (I gave up salt
years ago and do not like hot or "peppery" spices). Instead, I mix in lots
of chopped-up veggies -- mushrooms (both button and baby bellas), green bell
peppers, scallions, etc. Sometimes I will also add some shredded low-fat
cheese or some chopped-up tomatoes.

I eat a lot of variations on deviled eggs or egg salad,
because I can make them the night before.

I totally love making omelettes - I enjoy putting pizza toppings on them
and mozzarella cheese, and a dab of spicy salsa. It reminds me enough of
pizza, and fills me up. It's quicker and more convenient than seeking
those fake pizza crusts.

For convenience sake, I like them hard boiled, but that isn't my favorite.

MMMMMMMMMM! Ya I'm trying to kick the salt habit now too. Five days
and no added salt to my food. I can tell you, I sure taste the salt
when it's in the food already!

Lately I've been enjoying poached eggs with salsa. :-)

Oh, I love eggs with salsa. I've never quite gotten comfortable with making
poached eggs, but I have soft boiled eggs all the time. I usually have two,
and I drop them into a small dish atop either (1) a scoop of large curd
cottage cheese, topping with lots of freshly ground black pepper or some
salsa, or (2) a slice of low-carb bread, toasted and buttered and cut up
into little cubes.

I got a funky little egg poacher gizmo (from maybe Miles Kimball?) I put
in a small frypan (the one I usually use for my omelets) with some
boiling water. Unfortunately the cup-like parts the eggs go in are so
small even a large egg overflows a bit, so I generally do three eggs
instead of two. I wish I could find medium eggs at the supermarket -- I
think they'd be the perfect size -- but the smallest they carry is large.

Fried with prosciutto, pepper jack cheese melted on top; then smushed
up in a cup with a little butter :-)

I was on a poached egg kick for a long time, with a dab of butter on
them. They are still good, but now I like the scrambled eggs, just to
stir things up a bit. 🙂

I like them poached in a little beef broth with some dried onion bits in it.
Sometimes throw in some chunks of cheese, Swiss is good.

It's a custard. I just took four cup custards out of the oven.
Together they contain 2 eggs plus one yolk, 1/8 cup sweetener, pinch of
salt, 2 cups rich milk (milk plus cream), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Baked slowly in a water bath. Cool before eating. YUM!

They'd go well at breakfast, I think, although I prefer something more
substantial. I've made them with unsweetened cocoanut added and also
with a couple of ounces of dark chocolate melted into the milk/cream
mixture. Both varients "layer" a bit but taste just fine.

I usually do them one of two ways.

Scramble 2-3 eggs, 1 tbsp of whipping cream, 1oz of montery jack
cheese

Fry two eggs without breaking the yolks - sprinkle pepper on them
while they are in the pan. Cover the pan so they get cooked on top
(I'd do them over-easy but I'm prone to breaking the yolks when I
flip). Take them out and break the yolks so they run all over the egg
white and eat.

A fellow egg-hater? Cool. I thought I was the only one.

Seriously though, as gross as they are, they are such a cheap source of
protein, I just can't resist.

My favorite way to eat them is to scramble them to the point of almost
being burnt and then empty out the spice rack on them. I also don't mind
them if they are hard-boiled and covered in ranch, cuz face it, ranch
could make dog [censored] taste good.

I can handle omelets too, if they have enough stuff in them and they
aren't in the least bit slimey.
I can get them that way if I cook them myself. When out to eat, it's a
crapshoot.

Thanks much for the custard idea. I have a caramel flan recipe that I
love and had forgotten all about it. If I make/modify it to low-carb,
I'll be sure to post my recipe. I just made a cheesecake recipe I found
at foodnetwork.com (from Low Carb and Lovin' It). It takes forever to
cool, so I haven't actually tried it yet, but it smells great (I'll be
sure to post my tasting results). 😉
On a somewhat unrelated topic, I'm pretty happy with myself since I had
gone to a party last night... almost entirely junk food related: pizza,
crackers, sweets, cake, all kinds of fruits. All I had was some of the
pork and a single chip with some guacamole that everyone was raving
about. It was good... and spicy. Gotta love that spicy food. 😉 Oh,
and I broke down and had a light beer. Still strong in ketosis (as
indicated by my strips) and still losing.
Thanks!

custard I guess it is very thick and best cold. very filling too.
another one is to use about 1.5 cups of water and a couple three tablespoons of
nut butter boil it lightly with a bit of salt and some butter and coconut oil
and some coconut if you like cook till thick some sweeter and some cream are
good. I find this extremely filling. far more so then the same amount of nut
butter by it's self.
