Cooking an egg?
Is there a special name to putting a little water in with your eggs and covering it... steam cooking it on the top?

Well I like making them that way, just couldn't remember what they were called. Gives it a nice texture.

Darnit, I actually new this one, but Exy beat me to it.
I myself prefer sunny side up, or scrambled with a bit of bacon and cheese. Mmmm.
Now I'm hungry. :(

With syrup, or without?
Ya, it sounds gross, but a basted egg, over a pancake, with syrup. Nom, nom, nom. :)
No, I'm not pregnant. ;)

Haha... "nom nom nom". Actually I haven't used syrup with the eggs on top... I just make sure I butter the heck out of it before I lay that egg on.

You should try the syrup. I know the thought of syrup on an egg is gross, but with the pancake, it really works. Of course you need the right syrup. Not Aunt Jemima, but real maple syrup. :)

Oh, I swore off "yucky syrup" years ago. My real maple syrup doesn't last long at all... I'll walk by the fridge and take a swig every now and again ;) Real maple syrup goes good on anything... anything breakfasty anyway.

Do I have to.
Poached and basted are similar. The difference is small. Basted is in a frying pan, add a bit of water, a bit of butter, then cover. Once done it looks like a sunny side up egg with white covering the yolk.
Poached is cooked in water, usually in little metal rings made especially for poaching an egg. When it's done the yolk is still yellow. It's basically steaming an egg to cook it lightly.
How'd I do Exy?
I just want to add, I'm not a pro on basting and poaching. Like I said before, I like my eggs sunny side or scrambled. I never cook them basted or poached, so don't take my word as egg gospel. ;)

Hello again, Alty:
You did great. I've never used those poaching rings, though. I think they basically steam the eggs which isn't technically poached.
In the restaurant, or even at home, I just break the eggs in a couple of inches of gently boiling water - enough to cover the tops of the eggs. I swirl the water first so they don't stick to the bottom. A couple drops of vinegar in the water will keep the whites together. Take them out with a slotted spoon after three minutes. They're beautiful.

My hollandaise sauce comes out of a pouch. Add water, butter, and cook for 5 minutes, and voilą. Love it.
We pour it over asparagus. Really yummy, and really the only way I'll eat asparagus. ;)

I prefer honey to maple syrup.
But real maple syrup is tha bomb. And I bet you can get some reeeeally good local stuff in Canada...
EDIT: I can't have hollandaise anymore because I found out I'm lactose intolerant. *cry*

No hollandaise sauce? :eek:
Yup, we get some really yummy maple syrup here in Canada. Too many to choose from. Sad thing is, my kids prefer Aunt Jemima. :(
Hopefully they'll grow out of this. But what can you expect from people that think that Kraft macaroni and cheese is a gourmet meal? ;)
