The Red Robin restaurant chain has the Royal Robin...beef, cheese bacon and topping WITH a fired egg on top. My absolute favorite.

Eggy in a Basket:

But to really get the full effect, you need a fresh slice of bread about an inch and a half thick, & cook it in the grease of 1 slice of bacon.

Egg white has a natural antibiotic activity thanks to two proteins in particular, ovotransferrin and lysozyme. They act, respectively, by depleting the environment of iron, essential to bacterial growth, and by destroying the walls of some bacteria. This antibiotic activity was already known but researchers were able to show that it is partially inheritable and that hens can therefore be selected on the basis of the antibacterial activity of the egg white. These two proteins only explain part of the antimicrobial potential. Other antibacterial agents present in the egg white are yet to be identified. Source.

Egg white was sometimes used as an antibiotic before the discovery of penicillin. I buy eggs from a neighbor, who lets the chickens run free during the day. The eggs have thick, firm shells which require some effort to break.

Egg and english muffin. My everyday breakfast. I've learned how to ‘poach’ my egg in the skillet with a drop or two of oil. Some sea salt on top and I'm like the dog on Deputy Dawg when he got his treat, just floating in contentment.
