32 Egg Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner!

1. Baked Egg Boats

These egg boats aren’t just pretty to look at. They’re fun to eat, too! The best part? They’re super easy to make.

All you have to do is bring out some sourdough baguettes. Make a V-shaped hollow in the center of each loaf, then put in all the ingredients.

Once baked, every bite of these egg boats will give you a tasty combination of eggs, pork belly, cheese, and onion.

2. Poached Egg and Avocado Toast

Creamy, drippy, soft yolks on top of avocado toast — this is the kind of breakfast I could eat all day long.

If you have already perfected the art of poaching eggs, you can make this yummy, healthy breakfast in 10 minutes or less.

Sprinkle some parmesan cheese and fresh herbs on top, then serve with fresh quartered tomatoes for a hearty meal.

3. Breakfast Frittata

Frittata is an Italian egg-based dish that you can fill with just about anything. Yup, even leftovers! So, for this recipe, you can unleash your creativity.

Depending on the frittata’s filling, you can serve this dish any time of the day.

For instance, load it up with some protein and veggies to make a fabulous brunch meal.

The secret to making an excellent frittata is to build layers of flavors. How do you do that?

Simple. Just season the add-ins (veggies or meat) and eggs separately.  

4. Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs

If you love all things savory, then you’ll want this dish on your breakfast plate immediately! 

Fortunately for you, this recipe is quick and easy.

All it takes is cooking basic scrambled eggs and adding pieces of hot smoked salmon.

Serve with avocado toast or a crunchy kale salad for a filling breakfast. 

5. Breakfast Grilled Cheese With Scrambled Eggs

This egg and grilled cheese mash-up is one of the best offerings at Du’s Donuts in NYC.

The recipe yields something quite similar to a grilled cheese sandwich, only better. Fluffy, soft eggs lie underneath a slice of creamy American cheese.

If you haven’t had eggs and cheese together, seriously, you have to try this sandwich!

6. Breakfast Egg Muffins

Like a frittata, these egg muffin cups are so versatile. You can use any ingredients you have on-hand.

While this recipe creates muffins with bacon strips and veggies, you can make yours 100% vegetarian or meaty, if you like. 

For a healthy grab-and-go breakfast, I’m sure these egg muffins are well worth the 30 minutes of your time.

7. Baked Avocado Egg

Remember the baked egg boats a while ago? This is another version that you’ll love. 

Instead of French baguettes, you’ll bake the eggs and other ingredients inside fresh avocados. 

Baked stuffed avocado is a must-have if you want a delicious breakfast with an impressive nutrient boost.

It’s all thanks to the quality protein from eggs and tons of fiber from avocados. 

8. Savory Cheddar Oatmeal with a Fried Egg

Who says oatmeal should always be sweet? Not me, ever since I tried this savory cheddar version.  

Of course, everything’s better with eggs. For this recipe, you’ll just need to fry the egg and put it on top of the oatmeal.

Meanwhile, the oatmeal itself has cheddar cheese, red peppers, and onions. It’s a perfect combination for a pleasant, savory taste.   

9. Ham and Egg Casserole

This oven-baked meal holds a classic breakfast combination: ham and eggs! Add the oh-so-yummy cheese, and you won’t be able to get enough of this meal.

12. Pain Perdu

Pain perdu allows you to put your day-old, stale bread into good use. This ingredient is not just preferred but required. 

Why? Because stale bread does a fine job of soaking up the delicious custard batter. 

Pain perdu is a well-loved American breakfast, also known as French toast. If you love indulging in a sweet dish first thing in the morning, you’ll adore this recipe.

For the garnish, you can’t go wrong with maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond slices, and fresh strawberries.

Because Bisquick breakfast casserole is savory, it’s perfect with something sweet on the side. Nothing beats a parfait or fruit bowl for me!

This dish is crunchy on the outside and custardy on the inside. Plus, it only needs breakfast essentials like eggs, bacon, bread, cheese, and milk.

Obviously, you’ll have to use a cake pan instead of a casserole dish. The fun part is serving this breakfast meal as slices of “cake.”  

27. Turkish Eggs

The combination of chili butter and whipped feta cheese will make this dish creamy and slightly spicy.

Serve with toasted bagels, avocado slices, and garlicky greens for a complete and hearty breakfast meal.
