Editorial Guidelines Updated on June 7, 2024 Close Photo: Nico Schinco There are endless ways to enjoy eggs, and they are one of the most versatile ingredients in our kitchens. There are dozens of ways to cook them, from fried to poached to scrambled. They are also a common ingredient for both sweet and savory baked goods like cakes and muffins. They can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner—and for a snack anywhere in between. Eggs can be found in the simplest breakfast dishes like omelets, but they also take center stage in more elaborate, hands-on meals like eggs benedict or quiche. The great thing about most of these recipes is that you can prepare the eggs exactly how you want them. If you opt for fried eggs over poached, many of these dishes are versatile enough that you can adjust them as needed to suit your tastes. So whether you prefer your eggs scrambled, over-easy, or hard-cooked with a jammy center, there's a recipe here for you.
