Best Egg Recipes

March 03, 2022

If there is one thing that I always keep around, it’s eggs. Not only are they inexpensive and easy to cook, but there are so many ways to enjoy them. Scrambled, fried, poached, hard or soft-boiled, on their own, packed with veggies, loaded with melty cheese, or served with meat…the possibilities really are just about endless for eggs, and that’s why they’re one of my favorite refrigerator staples.

Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy microwave egg scramble, a breakfast burrito or quesadilla, or eggs for dinner, this list of all of the Best Egg Recipes has something for everyone!

Scrambled Egg Recipes

Let’s start with the classic: scrambled eggs. I love scrambling eggs because it’s just so easy. You just crack a few eggs into a skillet, push them around for a few minutes, and they’re good to go. The most difficult part is deciding what to serve them with because there are so many options! 

Well, hopefully, these five recipes will help you narrow down your scrambled egg options. Try them in burritos, scrambles, bowls, tacos, you name it.
