Our 15 Best New Breakfast Recipes for Egg Lovers
Introduction
Eggs are an excellent source of protein and can be cooked in a variety of ways to suit every taste and dietary requirement. Whether you like them scrambled, fried, poached, or boiled, eggs are a staple in many breakfast dishes. In this article, we will explore 15 of the best new breakfast recipes for egg lovers, featuring a range of flavors and textures to start your day off right.
Recipe 1: Huevos Divorciados (Divorced Eggs)
For those mornings when choosing between red or green salsa feels impossible, enter huevos divorciados, the ultimate solution. This dish, from our Senior Nutrition & News Editor at EatingWell, hails from Mexico and boasts a unique twist. It features two sunny-side-up eggs nestled on tortillas, each yolk surrounded by its own salsa. Typically served with a side of beans, it’s a delicious breakfast that celebrates the best of both worlds.
Recipe 2: Cauliflower Steaks with Poached Eggs & Pesto Hollandaise
This weekend-worthy dish features cauliflower “steaks” flavored with Italian seasoning and topped with sautéed kale, a poached egg, and pesto-flavored hollandaise. The combination of creamy hollandaise, crispy cauliflower, and runny egg is a match made in heaven.
Recipe 3: Spinach & Feta Mug Scrambled Eggs
Whip up eggs with a few simple ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, and you have the makings of a breakfast that’s prepped, seasoned, and will be ready to eat in a little more than a minute before running out the door. If you don’t want to store the mixture in individual mugs, you can store it in an airtight container then transfer to a mug when you’re ready to cook it.
Recipe 4: Blistered Cherry Tomato & Fried Egg Toast
This recipe is one that our recipe developers turn to quite often. Cherry tomatoes are reliably sweet and readily available year-round. If you don’t have ricotta cheese, you can swap in cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or mascarpone. While we favor runny yolks and like how they coat the toast and tomatoes, hard yolks are just fine too. Simply cook the eggs a minute or two longer.
Recipe 5: Sausage, Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites
These protein-packed sausage, spinach, and mushroom egg bites are the perfect little breakfast snack to tide you over until your next meal. Keep half the batch in the fridge for the immediate days ahead, and freeze the other half for later in the month when you don’t have time to cook but want a healthy bite to eat.
Recipe 6: Avocado Toast with Jammy Eggs
This riff on egg-in-a-hole, where a hole is cut into a slice of bread to hold and cook an egg, uses a bagel instead—so the hole’s already built in. The spinach-and-artichoke dip underneath the egg helps hold it in place and adds a creamy element to this easy breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!).
Recipe 7: Eggs in Purgatory
Eggs in Purgatory, an Italian favorite, involves gently cooking eggs in tomato sauce (with some regional variations) and can fit neatly into breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Our rendition features anchovies for an infusion of savory flavor, and baby spinach to pack in extra veggies.
Recipe 8: Baked Zucchini, Feta & Egg Tortilla
Break out of your breakfast routine with this simple and satisfying baked zucchini, feta, and egg tortilla. We love the combination of sweet zucchini, onion, and garlic, but feel free to use any leftover cooked veggies you may have on hand. Serve with your favorite hot sauce or extra fresh herbs.
Recipe 9: Scrambled Eggs with Spinach, Feta & Pita
This quick all-in-one breakfast is fluffy, light, and easy to pull together. The pita softens in the veggie mix, blending in with the rest of the ingredients while still holding onto some texture. Letting the eggs set for a few seconds before stirring them into the pita ensures it doesn’t immediately soak up the eggs and become soggy.
Recipe 10: Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Egg Bites
These sun-dried tomato and feta egg bites are the ideal grab-and-go breakfast, with each bite filled with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and briny feta cheese encased in a creamy egg custard. After baking, stash these flavorful bites in your fridge or freezer for future meals.
Recipe 11: Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach Egg Bites
These egg bites are filled with veggies surrounded by a light and creamy egg custard. Once you get the hang of making these, try switching up the veggies and cheese. You can also add grated garlic, chopped fresh herbs, or even a few dashes of hot sauce to give them a little kick.
