What is your favourite ingredient. I love eggs. Eggs Benedict, deviled eggs, fried eggs in stir

[applegrove]

fried noodles, lemon soufflé. I could not live without them.

1. I blend green olives into a number of dishes, and capers.

I love savory and sour and salty!

Chopped green olives in scrambled eggs, fried in just a bit of olive oil!

6. I love eggs, too, but only buy "cage free" - and not from hens jammed into a tiny space

without a cage, but truly raised humanely. Would like to find a local source of eggs, and not buy them from the grocery store.

I also love rice as a great base for almost any dish - breakfast, lunch or dinner.

8. Be sceptical of anything labeled "cage free"

The term "cage free" is not recognized by the USDA and is meaningless as far as anything that's enforceable, and some unscrupulous distributors have used the term pretty loosely. It could also mean that the birds have been de-beaked, which is a pretty nasty procedure. It could also mean that the birds live in a huge barn and never see the light of day. Some states may have their own regulation of that term. "Free range" actually does mean something to the USDA in terms of poultry, but only that the birds have been allowed access to the outside.

7. Butter

Followed closely by salt.

9. just had eggs benedict this morning

Astounding unhealthy. But we only have them every 3 to 6 months.

10. my favourite ingredient is fresh choped garlic.

I don't understand why people ad it in before cooking the dish. I get that you want to infuse the flavor into the food, but you cook the flavor out of the garlic. Man any of thouse egg dishes you mentioned... when they hit the table in front of me, the very last step before I eat it is to chop up a clove of garlic into pea sized pieces and oh man thats good!!!

11. Bacon, Ma'am

There is very little a bit of it does not improve....

12. I cook my scrambled eggs in bacon fat, add canned jalapeno peppers and pepper jack cheese.

13. "Is it oregano? No, no, NO! Is it parsley? No, no, NO! It's ME GANJA!"

14. I have a ham and cheese quiche in the oven as we speak.

I am also a huge egg fan! Great source of protein, and extremely versatile. Savory or sweet dishes, eggs rock!

Other stuff that I cook with (maybe couldn't cook without...) Butter, cream, olive oil, onion, garlic, herbs, and fresh ground pepper or sea salt. We are eating reduced carb and I have to admit, it has been a lot of fun to still lose weight and eat some of this stuff. If I have fresh green beans am I REALLY gonna miss the dinner rolls that much? If I make quiche am I REALLY gonna miss the traditional crust? So far, I haven't missed grains and sugars too much at all.

15. There can only be one!

16. Eggs can do most anything

Sweet, savory, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks.

My favorite is sous vide eggs cooked at 146 degrees F. Firm whites, creamy yolks. A little salt and pepper. Served with toast from homemade bread and peach preserves.

17. That does sound good.
