Who's cooking the eggs right?

Whether they're scrambled, over-easy, or swirled in hot water for eggs benedict.

here's an off the cuff favorite- the quiche served at HI-Rise is perfect.
eggs are perfectly cooked, almost custard-like. no shoe leather here.

    I have posted about Domani's brunch before. The chef makes the best creamed eggs over a duck hash which is ouut of this world. Domani is inside the copley hotel on huntington & exeter st.

      The best Bacon, Egg and Cheese or just Egg and Cheese sandwiches are found at True Grounds in Somerville. Perfectly cooked, really creamy scrambled eggs. They have awesome breakfast burritos too.

        Not quite the same - but man - I am completely addicted to the breakfast burritos served by boloco in Harvard square. All of them under $3 and completely yummy. Especially the huevos chorizo :)

          I do think that most decent diners do correctly fry eggs, but scrambled, poached, and in omelette form are different stories.

          I think Aquitaine gets the scrambled/omelette versions right. When I cook eggs at home, I leave them very slurpy. The few times I've had them at Aquitaine, they came out perfect---just barely coagulated.

          Overcooked eggs, much like overcooked pork, really upset me, and they are all too common at restaurants.

            A Lighter Fare is what immediately came to mind for me too. I love that place for breakfast/brunch on the weekends, except it can get packed. Most of their menu items are wonderful, and also beautifully presented - not the usual, 'slap 'em on a plate' approach of most diner/breakfast places.

              I've posted about them before (I think), but to date my favorite place for breakfast (eggs in particular) is A Lighter Fare in East Milton Square (above the fruit market). I've tried their omelettes, eggs benedict and their quiche...all were wonderful, with the quiche being my favorite. They also have the best homefries I've had in a long time - seasoned perfectly and done well.
