I generally do hardboiled

I should get more eggs, they are an easy (cheap) source of good protien

More difficult to cook. I've made eggs benedict a few times. The hollandaise sauce is the hardest part, of course, but even getting nicely poached eggs is a bit difficult. You can get egg-poaching devices that are very easy to use pretty cheap--maybe even at a Dollar Tree-type store.

But the Hollandaise is a *****, yes. I tried several times but kept having it separate on me due to either too much or too little heat. I made the mistake one time of buying a mix packet (Knorr I think). The horror... horror...

Just cook the sauce very slowly while continually stirring. Stop when it starts to thicken.

I added too much lemon juice the first time I made it, so it came out too sour.

It's only worth it to prepare in large batches...clarifying the butter by itself is annoyingly painstaking.

As for the heat issue, it's almost impossible to do it right directly over a stove burner. I read about cooking it over a pot of simmering water, so might try that, if I ever decide to bother again.

I can't believe you even tried to do that. How did your scrambled eggs+butter+lemon juice taste?

I can eat 5-6 whole eggs if they are hard-boiled. Sometimes I eat far more when eggs are the only protien I am getting.

I can only eat a couple if they are omelet's particularly the type you get at IHOP.

Generally when I eat eggs I eat 4 at a time.

5-6 eggs is supposed to impress me?

I often eat 12 eggs in a sitting.

I just recently did 24 for the first time (hard boiled)

Eggs are generally good cholesteral.

I don't know if there's even such a thing as cholesterol poisoning, I was just thinking of Douglass Adams.
