Is it an 11 egg omelette too much?

[ShakyBake]

Would you say an 11 egg omelette, roughly 3 times per week, is a lot/too much for 1 person?

I won’t hold my breath.

Thanks for that treat 😊

😂

Haha is it wrong to have a cartoon crush 😄

We hardly ever eat breakfast apart from on holiday. If it is somewhere that has an egg station my DH will order a one egg omelette. I always take the piss out of him for this, but this is the other end of the spectrum!

Every now and then I'll have a three egg scramble and I feel like that's being extravagant.

Hm, there is a clear hierarchy of eggs.
Hard-boiled - 1 or 2 max and the second already feels wrong.
Sunny side up - at least two.
Scrambled - four... easy. They scramble to nothing
Cake - 10 - obviously not eaten in one go but I'm pondering whether that's due to social convention....I reckon I could give it a good go.

Well your DH and OPs OH would kick it off. That makes a dozen.

Agree, the other end of the spectrum. But I do have one boiled egg for breakfast.

I make 12-16 egg omelettes
Including lots of cheese and parsley? In one pan? Good grief.
Quiche, shared. Omelettes, individual.
The different lives we lead, eh?
"All the world is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer."

To eat in one sitting, not normal. Is this one of those threads where the man eats everything in the house all the time?

God I would have the serious egg ick after that many omelettes. 3 is more than enough for me.

I agree this is the biggest issue.

Unless he's jay cutler he probably doesn't need that many whole eggs. Buy him some egg whites in a bottle and just have 4

Comment of the day for me, bravo @Dodorogers

How big does an omelette need to be before it is just an omel? I’ve always wondered.

How big is the frying pan?

Akshelly, I think a lot of people have whipped it up into hysteria, and in my opinion that is totally the merong thing to do, it’s turning the whole thing into a yolk, and that is not white at all.

My DH has a 6 egg omelette and it is huge. It is very rare as he will only eat eggs that he knows are absolutely free-range, he won't have any shop bought eggs. I don't eat them, but I'd be a bit worried about issues with cholesterol.

Awww, come on! Don't tell me that you believe 11 eggs in one sitting isn't an overdose of cholesterol. Of course it is! Nothing 'outdated' about saying that. It's a ridiculous amount of eggs to eat all in one sitting!

Eggs? Good to eat. 11 in one sitting? Noooooo!

.

Very good! 😂

Eggs-actly

My brother has 6 eggs every single morning, it's the new trend for certain gym goers, he's very fit and healthy. He has that with avocado.
He's shocked at people that think low fat and carbs is an ideal breakfast.
Eh, he does seem to have endless energy nowadays so there's that.

Yes. I'd imagine you'd make a big omelette like that (with lovely filling), to share.

I know boxers and some athletes consume a lot of eggs in one sitting. Most of us would have two maximum.

12, which is why the OP's dh stopped at 11... to avoid an egg-based existential crisis?

Unless his name is Gaston, yes.
