Maybe heresy for the fat-fetish junkies but I microwave scrambled eggs in a glass bowl. No grease, no alien flavors, season to taste.

And more "heresy": bacon sucks. Mostly just fat cooked to crispness with very little actual meat. I'll take a slice of ham/Canadian bacon or sausage over bacon to go with my eggs.

I prefer butter or olive oil. Bacon grease tastes better but is not as good for over-easy.

Lol, the rapeseed used to make canola oil is genetically modified to almost eliminate eurcic acid and the rest is eliminated when it’s extracted and refined. Cold pressed canola retains most of the nutrients and none of the toxins.

I will disagree. Look up coronary case frequency since rapeseed and soy oils became prevalent. They are evil.

Poached is simple in an air-fryer.  6 minutes at 380, in a small ramkin, with a couple of tablespoons of water.  Could nto be any easier.

So what you’re telling me is that I can eat a naturally produced fat that we scrape off the top of some milk and put in the fridge so that it keeps longer oooooorrrrrr I can have “cold pressed goodness” that came out of billions of little balls of rape, that a caveman never would have had access to in any quantity, let alone enough to consume a couple gallons of it annually and That had to be fucked with by a man-god in a white coat,  before it became fit to eat?

We have been consuming animals for 100s of thousands of years and animal products like butter for 10s of thousands. Gmo rape from the 60s is not a good idea

You're not wrong about that. I cook duck once or twice a year and keep the fat for eggs. It's awesome.
Bacon grease is next.
Then butter or ghee
last is olive oil, which is still good but inferior to the rest.

Smoke point doesn't enter into it for eggs unless you're retarded.

My wife (bless her heart) baked me a red velvet cake for my birthday using olive oil one time.  We were out of vegetable oil, which the recipe called for and she thought you could substitute olive oil for vegetable oil. It was more than a little "games" tasting.  Her cooking has improved somewhat.

This and all the other posters that said the same.

You shouldn't be anywhere near the burning/smoke point of butter to fry eggs...no wonder most of the time I have eggs at other people's houses they're disgusting.  

Most people overcook the ever living fuck out of eggs.  Especially scrambled eggs.  If your scrambled eggs have brown on them, they were over cooked several minutes before you took them out of the pan.  Eggs keep cooking after they come out of the pan...so you need to remove them before they're 'done' to get the correct 'doneness' on the plate.

Olives and eggs have a similar ovoid shape, cooking them together distorts the feng shui of the dish as well as cataclysmically redirecting life-affirming chi. Nothing good can come of it.

As pigs and cows do not have an ovoid vernacular, they can symbiotically coexist with the egg, rendering it good.

I use olive oil, heated to 375 degrees (below the smoke point) on a stainless pan for omelette style scrambled eggs.  

IMO, if there is any brown at all on the eggs, the are burned.  

I also flip them like a pancake by a flick of the wrist on the handle of the pan.

Tier 1 eggs.

Duck fat makes the best fries I've ever eaten, usually at steakhouses. Michael Jordan's comes to mind. Their sides are as good as their steaks.

Exactly.

In case anyone else is wondering:

Scrambled eggs are scrambled in a bowl, with whatever seasoning you want added (besides salt; I use pepper and paprika). During that time, whatever vegetables (I like fresh onion, spinach, & some tomato) you want in them are cooked down in the skillet a bit at higher heat to reduce the amount of liquid you're dealing with later on...

Then the eggs are dumped in the skillet, and salted, cheese added (I love feta and shredded mexican cheese mixed) and almost immediately removed from the (now) low/medium heat you're cooking them on.

Every time you stir them, remove from heat to do so and take them off the burner (don't just turn it off, remove the skillet entirely) for the last minute or two they're in there. If they stuck to the skillet when you were trying to stir them, and it sounded like you were trying to tear paper when you scraped the pan... you fucked up.

Once they're plated, I let them sit for a minute or two while my toast is cooking and I'm cutting up the avocado to go on top of the pile of eggs.

The end result is something like last Thursday's breakfast (first day I had time to eat at home in over a week), with fresh roasted potatoes and venison sausage. The only color in the eggs other than yellow, is the seasoning, as I made 8 eggs total and served myself half:

I like scrambled eggs, cooked wet, so I break mine on purpose a lot of the time.  I prefer them that way if they're going on a sandwich or something similar.

But over-easy is good too.

Basically. The other way to look at it is that they're both basically 100% fat. One is solid at room temp, the other is liquid. I'd rather have the liquid inside me, but butter tastes better.
