Just made scrambled eggs on toast (two eggs, no milk) and they barely featured on the second piece of toast. Is three eggs too greedy?

I use 3 medium eggs for one when making scrambled eggs.

SoyDora · 21/11/2018 13:43

2

SallyWD · 21/11/2018 13:43

2 or 3 eggs per person

Magmatic80 · 21/11/2018 13:43

I use 2 because they fit just right on the toast I have, but have recently upgraded omelettes to 3 eggs, as new pan too big for 2. I’d say large toast is a reasonable reason to use 3 eggs Smile

I have 2 eggs if they're with something else, 3 (Maybe even 4 if they're small) if they're the main feature like just on toast. Not greedy at all!

YABU to not put some form of milk in them though, you animal! Wink

Hadalifeonce · 21/11/2018 13:44

2 x large eggs for 1. 5 x large eggs for 2.

I use 2 eggs with a splash of milk. I always buy large, free range.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 21/11/2018 13:54

I’d use at least two large eggs or three medium. Even if I’m adding in a splash of cream which I do for my skinny boys!

Luckybe40 · 21/11/2018 13:54

Add a splash of water instead of milk, it steaks and makes the scrambled eggs fluffy, same with an omelette.

MapleSpice · 21/11/2018 13:56

I usually have three, but I make them with butter!! They're fabulous! Grin

jarhead123 · 21/11/2018 13:57

2 for me, 3 for husband

PurpleDaisies · 21/11/2018 13:57

If I were just cooking for me, I’d have one piece of toast with one egg, scrambled.

Houseonahill · 21/11/2018 13:58

2 eggs per adult. Toddler DD has 1 egg

HildaZelda · 21/11/2018 13:58

2 usually, but only a tiny tiny splash of milk. I don't like too much milk as it seems to make the eggs very runny. A knob of butter and pinch of salt and pepper too.

Annandale · 21/11/2018 13:58

2 for 1, 3 for 2.

AamdC · 21/11/2018 14:00

3 eggs with a bit of milk for scrambled egg .

sossages · 21/11/2018 14:00

3 each. Size varies as we get the "random sizes" family box.

It's weird when you think about it - I wouldn't have a row of three boiled eggs with soldiers.

ladycarlotta · 21/11/2018 14:01

two if I'm in charge, three if DP is. No milk, it makes them split. Sooooo much butter though. So much butter.

Davidlives · 21/11/2018 14:02

2 if having with toast (1 slice). 3 if having them alone

joystir59 · 21/11/2018 14:23

2 large eggs per person

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 21/11/2018 14:30

3 eggs with milk and butter...but only 1 slice of toast!

festivedramallama · 21/11/2018 14:40

3 eggs no milk just butter

Laiste · 21/11/2018 14:42

Bloody hell now i want scrambled eggs on toast.

Laiste · 21/11/2018 14:42

And i don't have any eggs in and i'm trying to avoid bread!

Gah.

blueskiesandforests · 21/11/2018 14:44

I have a slightly underweight fussy 7 year old who I made scrambled eggs with 3 eggs for yesterday - it's one of his few favourites and 3 was the right amount for him...
