Eggs are the perfect way to get your mornings off to the right start, they make a hearty lunch, and they even make an easy dinner when you’re short on time.
Protein-packed and easy to make, I eat eggs for breakfast most days of the week, most often scrambled or boiled. Make-ahead breakfast casseroles, like this overnight breakfast casserole, are great for reheating throughout the week, prepping for a weekend brunch, or for serving brunch to guests!
In this collection, I’ve added our top-rated favorites to inspire your mornings. Most of these recipes can be prepared ahead of time and reheated throughout the week for busy weekdays.

Simple Eggs For Breakfast – The Classics!
Perfectly Poached Eggs
Perfectly poached eggs are a classic breakfast, and they’re easy to make with no special tools. Cook them to your liking; I prefer a tender white and a soft yolk that’s slightly set on the edges.
Fried Eggs
Fried eggs are simple and the perfect breakfast, served either sunny-side up or over easy. Round out the meal with toast, bacon, and fresh fruit!
Basted Eggs
Similar to a fried egg, I add a little water to the pan, which helps steam the tops of the eggs. I cook them just until the whites are set and the yolks are still dippy for toast!
Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
Probably one of the easiest ways to prep eggs, this scrambled egg recipe is quick to make and great on its own or in a sandwich. Add cheese or your favorite cooked veggies and fold them in.
