These Delicious, Nourishing Egg Recipes Are Great Any Time of Day

As if puff pastry doesn't already make the most delightful crust, this recipe upgrades all butter puff with a sesame seed studded finish. Then, this cheesy spinach-filled quiche is assembled in a large rimmed baking sheet, resulting in a meal that serves a crowd.

Clocking in at just six ingredients, this dish flips chips and salsa upside down, turning this classic duo into a satisfying egg bake. Top with queso fresco and cilantro per the recipe or add black beans, avocado, or just a dollop of sour cream.

The high protein, gluten free twirls in this stir fry are made entirely from egg. Just prepare a thin omelet, which cooks in minutes, then roll it up and thinly slice to create a noodle-like base for this broccolini and mushroom packed meal.

Bull's-eye eggs, the classic childhood breakfast, meet avocado toast, the classic adult one. Cut out a round from a slice of bread. Place the holed-out bread (and the "hole") in a buttered pan, drop in an egg, cover, and cook for a minute or two. The lightly mashed avocado adds fiber and good fats (how adult of you), as well as extra fuel for your day.

This is our take on the traditional Turkish breakfast called cilbir. It's no wonder the dish has endured: It's a luscious combination of a gently poached egg, garlicky strained yogurt, and smoky-hot infused butter. (This recipe usually gets its heat from the Aleppo chile pepper, but we used cayenne and paprika.) Garnish with chive blossoms, and serve with crusty bread to sop up every last bit.

Paired with garlicky greens and a generous scattering of fresh herbs, rye berries lend a chewy texture and nutty note to this one-skillet egg dish. Made all the more irresistible with dollops of ricotta, this recipe almost takes on pizza vibes, adding pockets of creamy texture.

If you're looking for a stunning new brunch centerpiece, we've got you. This herb-showered quiche comes with a scalloped (and gluten-free) potato crust—use a mandoline for speedy slicing. Served room temperature or chilled, this picture perfect-quiche isn't just ideal for make ahead entertaining, it's something you can prepare and have on hand for fast breakfasts, lunches, or dinners.

Late-summer produce finds the perfect showcase in this tomato salad-topped frittata that's filled with blistered green beans and sweet in-season corn. Finishing the frittata under the broiler rather than just baking it in the oven only takes two minutes and creates a nice golden top.

Nutritious and colorful, vegetable hash with broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, and spinach pair with egg in this easy as can be sheet-pan meal. The key is to bake the eggs just until the whites are set, leaving the yolks a bit runny to add creamy texture to the dish. Of course, if you prefer your eggs over easy or cooked more, this dish is still enjoyable—just leave it in the oven a minute or two more.

Here's a match made in instant meal heaven: a simple fried egg cooked atop a salty, lacy Parmesan-cheese crisp. The how-to is almost too easy to be true. Sprinkle some grated cheese directly onto a hot nonstick skillet, wait for it to sizzle, crack an egg on top, and bon appétit. Serve with a salad of baby-greens.

Pretty much any meal can be improved by topping it with a poached egg; the perfect runny yolk and delicate white almost act as a sauce in addition to a being a protein finish. If poaching eggs is intimidating to you, opt for a soft boiled egg instead which is just as decadent and delicious in this rice bowl.

For an elevated yet easy individualized breakfast, butter small ramekins, then crack in eggs and a spoonful of cream. Top with cooked greens (spinach, chard, kale, you name it), crumbled bacon, cheese, or piquant and sweet peppadew peppers®. Bake for around 12 minutes, and grab some utensils and crispy toast. 

While there are many techniques for super creamy and fluffy scrambled eggs, we say that it's best to take your time and to not be afraid of butter. Once your eggs are ready, pile them into tartlets made from rye bread that's been flattened slightly, brushed with (more) butter, and baked. Serve with a toppings bar of crumbled bacon and radish sprouts.

Hard-cooked yolks take this bold springtime pasta over the top. Wide egg noodles are tossed with creamy mascarpone, salty pecorino, crisp-tender asparagus, and lots of lemon zest. Grate the yolks directly over the top—a basic box grater will do the trick.

Move aside, BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) sandwiches! This frittata hash sandwich is prepared with sausage and potatoes, and it's a technique prime for breakfast sandwiches for a crowd. Place slices of this frittata between your favorite bread with crisp lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. If you're feeling like you want a bit more, add a slice of cheese or thinly sliced avocado. 

This is a fun dish to make: When you drop beaten eggs into hot oil, they instantly puff up like a life raft and become crispy, fluffy, and ready to eat in less than a minute. To make the recipe hearty enough for dinner, we added snap peas and shrimp to the batter, and served the dish with white rice, plus scallions and spicy chili sauce on top.
