+1 on the whiskey sour.
Salsa scrambled eggs are great too. Something like this: https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes ... mbled-eggs

Re: Egg Recipe Problem
Seasoning. I hate saying it (because it seems so obvious), but cooking eggs properly to remove traces of sulphur and using proper seasoning have a massive effect on smell and taste, and those are two important factors if you are trying to convert someone to eggs who had a negative experience in the past. Often, "haters" of foods had a bad aromatic or texture experience in the past, and it is that experience that keeps them from tasting the flavor "as" flavor. Seasoning affects both smell and texture.
I think eggs are a particularly sensitive ingredient in this regard. I often think of eggs as one of the very most sensitive ingredients to seasoning: I love eggs, but I find poorly seasoned eggs quite repulsive. I don't feel that way about most ingredients.
Scrambled eggs are easiest in this regard. Lightly seasoning them before cooking, using an appropriate amount of butter or cream, and seasoning during/after cooking, all help to remove any traces of sulphur smell and ensure proper seasoning throughout the food rather than just on the surface. I'd start there.

Re: Egg Recipe Problem
Creme brulee?
Ice cream?
Or are custards cheating...
Mixed into steak tartare (non custard direction)?

Re: Egg Recipe Problem
Challah and brioche breads. Jewish households use up their eggs making this bread. You can use a few more eggs making French toast too.

Re: Egg Recipe Problem
You can also do eggs adding various cheeses (feta, Greyere cream cheese etc) or for a stronger taste, add capers lox kippers etc. Also try various salamis, and other preserved meats - even shrimp octopus etc.

Re: Egg Recipe Problem
Of course making crepes - filled with various preserves and cheeses (farmers cheese) like blintzes (with sour cream) even with strawberries cherries etc and liquors are a good desert.

Re: Egg Recipe Problem
My doctor told me " no more eggs or cheese " so now I cheat and learned a new way of making my eggs taste better since I remove the yokes. I just scramble about 4 eggs in a bowl along with a little yellow mustard and chopped onions and some pepper and turmeric. This has become a bit of a habit for me as of late.
