I got that reference (except it’s LIGHTLY fried tuna, thank you very much).
We’ve both been here too long.

That is my one big complaint about scrambled egg mornings (we use a cast iron that has to cool, and then it has to be cleaned/burnt off at high heat). Breakfast dishes then tend to sit for a while (I also WAH and it bothers me although I’m not in the kitchen). But can’t you fix the smell issue by running the hood vent and/or opening a window. Get a nice soy candle with essential oils to light for a few minutes. Brew some nice coffee (we have a fancy Breville that freshly grinds our beans so it makes the kitchen smell like a coffee shop in the morning). I feel like this is solvable although I would object to daily eggs based on potential health implications (unless you know he is in fantastic shape and can handle all these eggs).
Cast iron doesn't have to be cleaned like that. Take the hot pan, hold it under running water, soap and sponge or chainmail scrubber, dry on high heat. Cast iron is hard to mess up, drive it like a rental.

Does a vent exist to have no cooking smells? I find that a little hard to believe. I don't think our vent is bad. We live in a nice home.
Does he run it? You really shouldn’t have a lot of smells if you do.
He does run it and he tries to quickly clean the stove, pan and his plate. But each time I can still smell the eggs. I am very sensitive to the cooked egg smell.
Has he ever tried microwaving eggs? They come out pretty good and that reduces the smell.
otherwise… I think you need to suck it up and improve ventilation as suggested.

Like other posters have mentioned, I too wasn't smell sensitive until pregnancy. I was looking forward to the symptom disappearing but it only got more sensitive. It was also much worse after giving birth because vomiting often means involuntary peeing (something else that didnt happen before being pregnant).

+1. I did actually develop an aversion to a bunch of food smells.when I was pregnant (like I like onions but first trimester the smell of the cooking would make me gag, it was weird). Just burn a candle.
I am 100% team DH, but all candles do is add another scent on top of the existing one. It’s like scented cat litter — now your house just smells like poop AND flowers.
