Fantastic for not only breakfast but for lunch and dinner as well, eggs are ubiquitous in almost every household’s kitchen. They’re healthy, full of protein, inexpensive, and cook quickly. They taste great on their own, especially with the multitude of ways they can be cooked—scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, hard boiled, poached, etc.—but many a dish taste even better with an egg (or two) on or in it, too.
From mini herb frittatas and beautifully baked eggs with chanterelles and leeks to flavorful egg bhurji (Indian scrambled eggs) and comforting Chinese egg drop soup, we have compiled creative recipes that not only take the modest egg to the next level, but also stay within a 20 minute or less time limit. (We know that your time is valuable!) The next time someone asks, “How do you want your eggs?” you’ll be armed with 23 more delicious ways to respond.
