I am beginning to think guests are really missing just plain old eggs now. When they stay at B&B's they get alot of casserole, fritatta, sweetie type meals and there is not just a simple scrambled egg. That is a main course, esp if they are piping hot and fresh eggs (farm fresh ideally).
Of course we were all told how - the most perfect food ever created - is bad for you and clogs arteries and all that fun stuff. Maybe like the high protein diet fad, the eggs-are-bad-for-you fad is coming to a close?
Lately I have served this to guests who have been on a B&B jaunt and they always gobble them up.
I stopped serving them except for longer stays like this thread mentions, after I had that British pompish jerk say to me as I was serving the plates "Did you ever think that maybe someone doesn't LIKE eggs?" I said, "Well this is BREAKFAST you know, there's bound to be an egg in there somewhere."
Then went into the kitchen and kicked the dog. No, I didn't, but this man WAS asked in advance about dietary stuff. SOL..
so glad you feel this way, too.
i haven't yet made any egg dishes except quiche.
i serve eggs either scrambled or fried - guest's choice - every other day -- and they DO like them. they are fresh from the farm, delivered each monday, and they are really good. i am not knocking frittata and other recipes, i just have never tried making them.
for those that don't want eggs, i usually know ahead of time. but if they haven't told me, they can take all the side stuff or have cereal. a rude guest is a usually a rude person in their daily life. why spend your life being a grump? i don't know.
