Hm. I'd try a brandy flip or a whiskey sour.

+1 on the whiskey sour.

Salsa scrambled eggs are great too. Something like this: https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes ... mbled-eggs

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.

Creme brulee?
Ice cream?

Or are custards cheating...

Mixed into steak tartare (non custard direction)?

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

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.

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.

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.
