Scrambled eggs on toast - 1 slice or 2

Extremely riveting question.

I normally go for 1 slices on normal brown bread as 2 slices would be way too much. Normally have something on the side like a few slices of chorizo to fill me up.

Sister insists 2 slices is the norm. I'd be bloated for hours

What about you

My husband happily tucks away 3 slices of toast, scrambled eggs and baked beans 🤷‍♀️

2 toast, (Mother's Pride Sottish plain)
3 eggs with lots of butter and black pepper.

Three slicers of toast and three eggs. Enough to feed a family for a week by MN standards.

*slices

Marmite27 · 23/01/2020 17:45

1 slice per egg. So one egg, one slice and so on.

Whatevah · 23/01/2020 17:46

I slice of toast, but prefer a poached egg. Mmmm.

IHaveBrilloHair · 23/01/2020 17:46

@redyellowpink
So greedy, you should just lick the egg shell whilst looking at bread.

Lifeisgenerallyfun · 23/01/2020 17:52

One slice 3 eggs (1 yolk 3egg whites) with a bit of grated cheese.

Camomila · 23/01/2020 18:07

One bagel thin (2 halves) with butter, 2 scrambled eggs and then either avocado or peas.

NomDeQwerty · 23/01/2020 18:07

Waste of an opportunity for soft boiled eggs and buttered soldiers unless there's loads of smoked salmon in the scrambled egg.

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 23/01/2020 18:10

One slice for lunch, two if for dinner (and quite possibly some beans and grated cheese as well). But I don’t add butter. I’ll also sometimes make spicy scrambled eggs, and put them in a wrap or pitta.

iloveredwine · 23/01/2020 18:14

2 slices but I prefer poached eggs x 2 and some button mushrooms in butter with black pepper 🥰

EnidBlyton · 23/01/2020 18:42

my toaster cant cope with one slice only, tomatoes on the other slice

Crocky · 23/01/2020 19:06

My favourite quick lunch is three large scrambled eggs with butter and pepper and lots of cherry tomatoes halved and cooked in it.

BobbyBlueCat · 23/01/2020 19:08

2 slices.

Because I'm not 4 years old...

Davincitoad · 23/01/2020 20:04

Oh lovely a bread shaming/food shaming thread. Bread doesn’t make you bloated. Overeating does. Eating salty sausage will make you more bloated.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 23/01/2020 20:18

2x poached eggs on 2x toasted, buttered white bread and topped with salt and pepper.

MitziK · 23/01/2020 20:19

Because I don't give a shit what anybody thinks and prefer not being hungry again within two hours, one thick slice of crusty bread cut diagonally and 4 eggs scrambled in butter. If I'm very hungry, I'll eat all the toast, if I'm not, I'll have one half and pass the other to DP.

None of your manky meaty things corrupting the glorious golden eggs, butter, sea salt and pepper will ever go on my plate.

whatdoyouthinkyouknow · 23/01/2020 20:24

One slice, two eggs.

My husband who is a much bigger frame and weight doubles this.

@BuzzShitbagBobbly Grin

chocolate26 · 23/01/2020 20:29

2 slices of toast with 2 or 3 eggs depending on the size and avocado on the side 😋

Thehop · 23/01/2020 20:31

@BuzzShitbagBobbly 😂😂🙌

Nigglesmiggle · 23/01/2020 20:36

I slice, 2 eggs. No milk, no butter-just cook the eggs very lightly so they’re still lovely and runny.
Sometimes might have an extra slice with marmalade afterwards but I am a sucker for ‘breakfast pudding’

KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh · 23/01/2020 20:38

Ah, I love these threads.

Personally, having any food at all in the house makes me bloat. Once a month, I sniff a bag of dry lentils and think about an avocado. That keeps me going for at least four weeks.

KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh · 23/01/2020 20:40

Five if I have half a glass of very dilute water. Don't want THAT stuff too concentrated.

Rose789 · 23/01/2020 20:42

@Nigglesmiggle I love breakfast pudding!!!! Dh insists it’s not a thing!! It fully is though.

I make 2 slices of toast with 2 scrambled eggs but then cut the toast into soldiers and make it into a sun- I’m essentially 5. But 2 slices is too many soldiers so I normally snarf half a slice when I’m dicking on cutting the rest up nicely. sometimes halve a cherry tomato for eyes 🤷‍♀️
