1. Eggs in a Basket

2. Simple Egg Drop Soup

For each serving, heat chicken stock to boiling, add 1 to 2 eggs, and stir vigorously with chopsticks to create “ribbons” of egg. Turn off heat and serve immediately.

3. Savory Oatmeal Bowl with Sunny Up Egg

Who says oatmeal has to be sweet? Prepare plain oatmeal (regular or gluten-free) according to package directions, then top with savory favorites like shredded cheese, diced avocado, tomato, and of course, a sunny-side up (or over-easy) egg.

4. The Creamiest Scrambled Eggs

The secret to ultra silky, creamy scrambled eggs isn’t add-ins like milk, cream, or cheese. The real secret is patience. Cook whisked eggs slowly over very low heat and resist the urge to overstir, raise the heat, or add extras. Allow eggs to set in the pan, stir gently, and repeat until desired level of doneness is achieved. Perfect eggs, every time.

5. Frittata

No matter what you have on hand, as long as you have eggs, you can whip up a fantastic frittata in no time. Start with this recipe for Veggie Frittata and improvise from there, adding in diced chicken, ham, or turkey and changing up the diced veggies to suit your tastes.

6. Hard-Boiled Eggs with Avocado on Toast

This may be the perfect lunch! Spread mashed avocado on toasted bread (regular or gluten-free), then top with slices of hard-boiled egg, add salt and pepper, and voila! Lunch is served!

Stir it all together, and spread on toasted bread or serve with crackers for a filling, protein-rich lunch.
