Come to think of it, that fits my experience of foamy oil as well!

That won't stop me from using whole eggs - love em! But I'll stick to the pan frying and just ditch the foamy oil afterwards.
Come to think of it the "event" hasn't happened since the last time I have had eggs in the house.
I haven't had eggs in the house in months and have discovered ways to do without them.
More experimenting.
I bought some eggs the other day for some reason long forgot and I ended up frying two eggs and right after that the oil started foaming when I wanted to cook something else.
The fish patties have egg in them to.
And I cooked some egg less fish patties and the oil didn't foam afterwards.

Now I remember why I bought the confounded eggs.
Homemade pasta.
