I think probably the “purest” form of egg I eat is hard/soft boiled. In this case, I feel like there isn’t much of a smell, and it is fairly neutral. The taste of the whites is fairly neutral. Hardboiled yoke I’m not a huge fan of, but will eat out of habit. Soft boiled yoke is deliscious, and is the best form of egg.

Beyond that, eggs are great because they don’t have all that much flavor themselves, but are very versitile in their ability to carry other flavors in various forms. Eg, cheese, spices, and chili peppers in a breakfast burrito; salt, pepper, and butter on an over easy egg, with some toast dipped in the yoke; etc.

Its kind of like chicken. Chicken on its own doesnt taste that great. It tastes great when it is spiced and cooked well.
