Eggs are such a fun, versatile food. You can make everything from delicious sweet baked goods to savory recipes. They’re used in many different cultures and countries, so egg recipes encompass nearly every type of food.
No matter the occasion, you can find egg dishes that coincide with the theme. Plus, if you don’t like the taste of eggs, there are quite a few dishes where you can’t tell eggs are included. In contrast, other dishes allow eggs to be at the forefront in terms of taste.
We can’t get over how much you can do with eggs!
Of course, they’re also budget-friendly and found at every grocery store and market.
Perhaps you have purchased too many eggs, or you love this food item and want to create every available recipe that contains eggs. Whatever the case, we have collected 35 of the yummiest recipes to make. Read on for these yummy dishes.
1. Egg Skillet (With Potatoes!)
When someone thinks about things to make with eggs, an egg skillet is typically at the top of the list.
This egg skillet has a little bit of everything; cheese, ham, and veggies. It’s a great breakfast dish that will satisfy you in the morning. One of the veggies included is a red bell pepper. Of course, bell pepper is not for everyone.
You can swap this ingredient out with your favorite veggie – like chopped broccoli bits.
Tip: Heat some tortillas with this dish to create breakfast tacos.
2. Classic Deviled Eggs Recipe
Are you a deviled egg fiend like we are? Anytime we make deviled eggs, we know they won’t last long! These deviled eggs are easy to make yet so tasty.
Once the deviled eggs are made and assembled, you’ll be using smoked paprika as a garnish.
You can mix it up by using sweet or hot paprika. If you want something more out of the box, try a different spice mix like cajun for a pop of flavor. This recipe is an excellent base for deviled eggs.
You can be as creative as you want with toppings.
3. Egg Casserole (Egg Bake)
This egg casserole is similar to a quiche without a crust. It’s one of the simplest egg ideas that everyone in the family will love. Even if you make this egg bake weekly, you’ll still have family members lining up for a slice.
Bacon makes everything better, doesn’t it?
Adding bacon to this dish gives it an extra pop of flavor.
If you want a healthier dish, you can use turkey bacon as a replacement for an equally delicious taste. Once cooked, you can freeze this dish for yummy future breakfasts.
4. Baked Egg Boats
Tell us a better combination than a delicious baguette with a quiche filling! We couldn’t think of one either. These baked egg boats have a decadent quiche center that is mouthwatering and delicious.
Green onions are baked into the quiche filling for a pop of green and a fresh flavor. You can use chives instead if you have them more readily available.
Anything similar, like spring onions, can be used as a substitute for green onions.
Tip: You can keep the seasoning simple and still get a flavorful dish since you’re using high-quality ingredients.
5. Crispy Parmesan Eggs
You can’t get simpler than this recipe! Though, that doesn’t mean it’s not flavorful! Over easy eggs are served over a crunchy, melted parmesan cheese that’s perfect for use in breakfast tacos.
Parmesan does have a more pungent taste than other cheeses. If you prefer something with a more subtle flavor like mozzarella, you can use that instead. Other cheese may not produce a nice, crispy crust like parmesan.
Grab your favorite tortilla chips, and use them as a dipping mechanism instead!
6. Sausage, Egg, and Cheddar Farmer’s Breakfast
This delightful dish is comforting and has all your favorite breakfast foods in one. Crispy hashbrowns, cheesy eggs, sausage, what more could you want from a dish?
It’s one of those easy egg recipes that seem so complicated because of how flavorful it is.
This recipe uses thawed hashbrown potatoes as a mix-in for quicker prep time. You’re more than welcome to cube potatoes instead of using a frozen variety if you have extra time.
For a slightly sweeter flavor, try using cubed sweet potatoes instead.
7. Smashed Avocado Toast With Egg
Avocado toast is a trend that won’t be going anywhere soon! This recipe keeps it simple with a high-quality piece of toast, mashed avocado, and a sliced egg on top.
Fresh lemon juice added to the avocado adds a brightness to the dish and helps keep the avocado from browning.
Don’t have lemons or lemon juice available?
There are a few good alternatives like lime or lime juice.
Lemon pepper also works well for flavoring, though it won’t help keep the avocado from browning.
8. Tortilla Eggs
Can you really turn down this simple recipe that turns a quesadilla into a proper breakfast food?
This recipe starts with a simple flour tortilla, then layers on cheese, an egg, veggies, and jalapeno slices to boost heat. We guarantee this will be your new go-to for breakfast meals.
Adding slices of avocado to the dish gives it a nice, creamy flavor. You can still get a creamy taste without using avocado by including a dollop of crème Fraiche on top. It makes it more decadent and adds a slight tanginess.
9. Bacon Egg Cups
Sometimes you just want a simple bacon and egg combo for breakfast. This delicious dish allows you to easily take your bacon and eggs on the go! As far as recipes with eggs, we’re quite fond of this one because of its portability.
Each bacon egg cup is topped with a sprinkle of yummy cheddar cheese.
Any kind of shredded cheese will work as a topping for these cups. Make sure to use cheese that melts easily for this dish.
Tip: Add some chopped bell peppers to boost the nutrition of this dish.
10. Cloud Eggs Recipe
Once you’ve made cloud eggs, there’s no going back to regular eggs and toast.
They’re fluffy, fun, and only take an extra minute or two versus the standard over-easy eggs. This dish is unique because you’ll be whipping the egg whites before cooking them to create the “cloud.”
The base layer is buttered brioche Texas toast for added decadence. Any type of thicker bread slices will do for this recipe. You can even use Italian bread or a softer, crusty bread.
11. Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon
Can you believe how many ways there are to make scrambled eggs? Skip the boring plate of plain scrambled eggs and try this option instead.
The smoked salmon really complements the dish well and adds a boost of protein. Heavy cream is the hidden ingredient in this recipe.
You can also use regular milk like 1% or 2%. You’ll still be able to achieve non-rubbery scrambled eggs.
Tip: Don’t add too much liquid, or you’ll risk runny eggs or eggs with an odd consistency.
12. Scrambled Eggs with Mushrooms Recipe
Still wondering what to make with eggs? This scrambled egg recipe is simple, easy, and a great option for vegetarians. Plus, it takes less than 10 minutes to create this yummy meal.
The recipe calls for canned mushrooms with the liquid drained. While convenient, there’s nothing better than fresh mushrooms.
Slice up whatever mushrooms you have on hand and include them in your scrambled eggs.
Panfry the mushroom slices with some oil for a more similar consistency before adding them to the scramble.
13. Tom’s Scrambled Egg Sandwich
We love unbelievably simple yet incredibly flavorful recipes, don’t you? With only a few ingredients, you’ll have a scrambled egg sandwich that you’ll want to eat for breakfast every day. We sure do!
The hidden ingredient will surprise you, as it’s not commonly included in egg breakfast sandwiches.
Give up on what the component is? It’s mayonnaise!
If you have some mashed avocado leftover from avocado toast, you can use that instead. That way, you can use it up before it browns!
14. Breakfast Egg Muffins (3 Ways)
How can you craft a filling, low-carb breakfast? By making these yummy breakfast egg muffins! Choose between a tomato spinach mozzarella option, bacon cheddar, or garlic mushroom pepper.
There’s an ingredient that all three options share (and it’s not just eggs!). Each egg muffin has small pieces of onions added to the base. You can use quite a few options to replace them, ranging from chives to celery.
Choose the swap you enjoy most to make the best possible egg muffin cup. If you’re feeling daring, try a combination of filling ingredients like spinach, bacon, and mushrooms.
15. Baked Eggs in Avocado
We love this option for the healthy fats it provides! Plus, what better combination is there than avocado and egg? This is a great dish that you can throw together for your family quickly in the morning.
The best part about these baked eggs is that they’re made with simple seasoning – salt and pepper.
That means you can get creative and add whatever seasoning your heart desires instead of salt and pepper! Think cayenne pepper, Ms. Dash, and any seasoning blend that you prefer can be added.
16. Ham and Egg Breakfast Bake
Don’t want to sit and make omelets separately for each guest or family member? Here’s a way to create a similar breakfast item in bulk. Once it’s finished baking, slice it up, and it’s ready to go!
The hidden ingredient is sour cream for this breakfast bake. It helps keep the baking moist while cooking and adds richness. You can also use Greek yogurt for a similar consistency and flavor.
Tip: Gather your guests’ favorite omelet inclusions beforehand, so you know what to add to the breakfast bake.
17. Baked Eggs in Bread Bowls
Surely you’ve had eggs in a basket before! This delicious dish elevates regular eggs in a basket using a delightful herb mixture and crusty bread bowls.
The result is a perfect over-easy egg that you can dip your bread into. If you can’t find bread bowls, you can use dinner rolls instead.
When using dinner rolls, look for the largest possible option. If you choose too small of rolls, the eggs may not fit into the center.
18. Italian Brunch Torte
Need a way to impress your inlaws or your friends at a get-together? This Italian brunch torte will surely do the trick! It includes yummy layers of croissant rolls, ham, cheese, and veggies.
Part of what makes this torte so appealing is the colorful vegetables layered inside. One such layer is made from spinach. Though, you can use baby kale as a delicious alternative.
Regular kale is another excellent option, though the stem will need to be removed. You may also want to cook it for a few minutes beforehand, so it’s not too tough to eat.
19. Delicious Egg Salad for Sandwiches
We promise that there’s no such thing as too many simple egg recipes! Especially when it comes to egg salad recipes. While this recipe is intended for sandwiches, you can just as easily use it for a salad topping.
The recipe calls for standard yellow mustard as a flavor mix-in. Though, you can use any variety of mustard. Try spicy brown mustard for an extra kick of flavor in your sandwich.
Tip: To make it more snack-like, enjoy this dish with your favorite crackers.
20. Skillet Hash and Eggs
Have you always wanted to make restaurant-worthy skillets at home? Here’s your chance! The bottom of this skillet features crispy potatoes, making it an irresistible dish.
You’ll never guess the secret ingredient for this recipe! It’s dill seeds. They provide a super yummy flavor that’s somewhat similar to caraway.
You can also garnish the skillet with dried or fresh dill as a replacement. You’ll get a lighter flavor when using this substitute. You can also add the dill directly into the skillet, though make sure it’s not on the bottom, or it may burn.
21. Absolute Best Scrambled Eggs Recipe
While scrambled eggs may not seem like a challenging dish to make, the directions can be confusing because of the various recipes.
Some chefs say to include dairy, and some say that you should never use dairy. This scrambled egg method solves the debate once and for all – use dairy for fluffy and creamy eggs.
Like most recipes, this dish calls for black pepper for seasoning. If you want to make the dish feel more elevated, try white pepper. It has a similar flavor but adds a cool and unique appearance.
22. Creamy Egg Salad
Want another egg salad recipe? We’ve got you covered! This egg salad is so creamy and decadent that it will easily become a bookmarked recipe.
Fresh chopped dill is the unexpected ingredient in this dish. It helps provide a yummy, fresh flavor to the creamy egg salad. You can use whichever fresh herbs you have on hand that you enjoy, like tarragon.
Tip: If you’re going to use this egg salad for lunches for a few days, leave the bread off until the day off. This way, your bread won’t have the chance to get soggy.
23. Bacon and Egg Breakfast Enchiladas
Enchiladas with bacon and eggs? Sign us up! This yummy take on enchiladas takes a classic dish and turns it into a delicious breakfast meal.
Traditionally, enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. However, you can also use flour tortillas in a pinch. Try to find tortillas that are similar in size to corn tortillas, and you’re good to go!
Tip: These breakfast enchiladas will have a kick to them from the jalapeno, crushed red pepper, and chili powder. If you have a low heat tolerance, you can omit one, two, or all of these ingredients.
24. Hash Brown and Egg Casserole
Casseroles are always a great option for meals. Adding all the ingredients to one pan or skillet is the optimal way to cook. You’ll have fewer dishes and typically fewer steps as well. It’s a win-win situation!
You may be wondering what the secret ingredient is for this recipe – it’s the pork sausage mixed into the casserole.
You can use any similar ground sausage, like Italian sausage, to create a dish to your taste preference.
25. Gyeranjjim (Korean Steamed Eggs)
Steamed eggs are all the rage now! They’re fluffy, jiggly, delicious, and a fun way to enjoy eggs. This food is a delicious Korean version of steamed eggs. While you can eat it as a main dish, it’s typically a side dish.
These steamed eggs are not fluffy because of dairy; they’re fluffy from anchovy broth. If it’s challenging to find this ingredient in stores, you can use water instead.
However, there will be a flavor difference when using this swap.
26. Scrambled Egg Pizza
Scrambled egg pizza?! Yes, there’s such a thing! Skip the cold leftover pizza and make this breakfast version instead. It’s covered in a delicious smattering of toppings, from bacon to tomatoes, cheese, and eggs.
Part of what makes this recipe so tasty is the pizza dough base.
If you want a creative twist on this recipe, try using Pillsbury crescent roll dough instead. It will add a richer flavor and a flaky crust.
Tip: Sprinkling cornmeal is key. Without the cornmeal, getting the dough off of the pan will be very tricky after it’s cooked.
27. Easy Quiche Recipe
Since we already showed you an egg bake recipe, it’s only fair also to present a quiche recipe.
We’ve noted this as one of the best egg recipes since it has a perfectly flaky crust and delicious ingredients in the filling. It only takes about 35 minutes for this quiche to cook, so you can have it ready to serve in no time.
Using a pre-made pie crust makes the quiche prep much quicker. However, you can also whip up a homemade version quickly and easily using water, flour, butter, and salt. It will take about 10 minutes to create plus an hour to chill.
28. Leftover Stuffing with Cheesy Baked Eggs
You’ve heard of stuffing sandwiches filled with leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. But have you heard of stuffing breakfast sandwiches?
There’s no reason not to use this yummy food in a breakfast dish!
The not-so-surprising ingredient is the yummy cheddar shreds mixed into this dish! If you’re looking for a dairy-free alternative, why not mix in leftover turkey bits instead?
You’ll still have a super yummy recipe, plus a happy tummy. Alternatively, you can also use a dairy-free cheese of choice.
29. Mushroom Omelette
We’ve covered scrambled eggs, quiche, avocado toast, and more in the breakfast category. So, it’s only fair to include an omelet option! This flavorful omelet is chock-full of veggies for a hearty and healthy breakfast option.
What makes this omelet so flavorful? Well, it has a good number of herbs and seasonings in it. For example, curry leaves are included in this omelet.
You can use other fresh herbs instead. Try including fresh basil; it’s much easier to find at the grocery store.
30. Asian Scotch Eggs
Scotch eggs are not reserved for British cuisine. This twist on the traditional British dish incorporates a yummy Asian flair for an unbeatable flavor.
Expect a delicious umami-flavored egg that’s wrapped in ground chicken. If you don’t enjoy chicken or want something richer, try using ground beef or pork instead. All three options work perfectly with the Asian-inspired seasonings.
Ground turkey works well as a leaner option for this recipe.
Tip: Make sure to keep the eggs cold during the prep process. You can put them in the fridge or freezer before frying.
31. Ham’n’Egg Sandwich

Do you love tomatoes and eggs? It might seem like an odd combination, but many people have already adopted it into their diet. Don’t believe us?
What about those who add ketchup to their eggs? This stir-fry incorporates Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine) as the main ingredient.
You can use any type of cooking wine for a similar flavor. This dish is yummy by itself, though you can also add it to a rice bowl or noodles.
33. The Easiest Egg Fried Rice
If you’d prefer a stir-fry with rice already included, why not make egg-fried rice? It’s great as a side dish or main dish if you add protein like chicken.
We love sharing any recipes under 30 minutes for those with a busy schedule, and this one clock in right at 20 minutes.
Using jasmine rice as a base for this recipe is ideal.
However, you can use any rice on hand, like white rice or brown rice. The flavor will vary slightly, though the consistency will be pretty similar.
34. Easy Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast burritos are always a great choice for egg meals.
They’re oh-so-tasty, portable, and made with common ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen.
This quick and easy option makes eight burritos so you can feed a large family or freeze the leftovers for future breakfasts.
You’ll be using chopped green chilis to give these burritos a spicy flavor.
