I am a retard who has a 50/50 chance of breaking the yolk when trying to open an egg. This ratio stays about the same regardless of the technique I try.

Are there any meals I can prepare that need a lot of beaten eggs? I need practice.

spanish tortilla
egg souffle
lemon tart
morengue

Get good at making omelettes, particularly french omelettes. You can develop a couple techniques while making those and it makes for a pretty quick and good meal

This one's good
The rest of your suggestions seem to involve separating whites and yolks, something I specifically need to avoid as I don't want to waste any more eggs

>>14031279

you can use both whites and yolks for those dishes, but spanish tortilla is the quickest and needs only a couple of things

Is spanish tortilla quick? I know it's a glorified omelette, but I mean, you gotta peel all those potatoes, saute them well, let them rest with the egg...

I've never broken an egg yolk unintentionally in my life, how do you even manage that by just cracking them?
Are your eggs exclusively from old and diseased chickens?

I can't find a single meringue recipe that includes yolks. Link?

Maybe. My family buys cheap ones.
But it probably just hits my finger when I crack it. I always hit it too little or too hard.

It never does, it's white exclusively and it can be a pretty big bitch to make

Do you crack against flat surfaces or against like the side of the pan or bowl

Definitely shitty eggs. A good healthy yolk won't break just from you touching it a little. You can take those fucks in your hands and even gently squeeze without them leaking.
Really old or ill/ badly fed chicken can't develop proper yolk membranes so they will rapture the second they come in contact with anything, sometimes even while the egg is still uncracked if they are handled even slightly roughly.

In that case there's really not much you can do but buy better ingredients. You will both eat healthier and no longer fuck up your yolks.

Just cook it with broken yolk, toast a bun, make some mayo siracha, and glide a piece of cheese across the pan to kick start the melting process, and make yourself a delicious breakfast sandwich.

I'm a spaniard so I eat this almost every week. You can cook one in 15 to 20 min. And most of this time is frying the potatoes

What the heck man, just tap it on a flat surface to get a crack going and pry it apart with your thumbs. Idk how you DO break yolks

You can make a folded egg for a breakfast sandwich with one or two eggs beaten. Just pour it in the pan.

I tried all of those, as well as trying to crack it with a knife. Same results more or less.

Imagine being such a faggot tastelet that you avoid foods because the politics board of an anime website told you people you don't like eat it.
