Western Omelet

Western Omelet

"Classic Western flavors (ham, bell peppers, and onion), simply good. I think in the future I might add just one more egg, and then most likely split the omelet with my husband. Thanks for sharing your recipe, it was a nice Saturday morning breakfast." —lutzflcat

Verde Chilaquiles with Eggs

Verde Chilaquiles with Eggs

"I made it with pork carnitas instead of chicken. Did not fry onion and pepper separately, just combined all and baked. Did not add cheese. This recipe is great as a starting point and allows for several variations. Thank you for the idea!" —Lenka McDonald

"We had some leftover rosemary bread, and my son didn't want it as toast for breakfast. He loves the bread though, so we cubed it up and added it with some ham and a few other ingredients to his eggs. He liked this simple combination well enough to have every morning until the loaf was gone!" —Bibi

Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata

Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata

"Very good! I didn't have bacon, so I substituted a few slices of deli ham, cut into small pieces. I used frozen broccoli — thawed, drained, and cut into small pieces. To reduce calories, I substituted almond milk. Will make again!" —eclipse1994

"Simple and tasty. However, when frozen, they do not cook enough in five minutes in the air fryer. Still adjusting time to find the right amount but if you don't mind the outside not being crispy just use the microwave." —Texas Mom

Easy Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

Easy Ham and Cheese Breakfast Casserole

"I used six eggs because that was all I had, and used four toasted English muffins broken into pieces for the bread. I added green pepper, onion, salt, and pepper because I wanted a bit of Western omelet taste. It was great because of its ease and most items are already in your fridge/pantry. I encourage you to build your own!" —Gymrat

Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs

TheDailyGourmet

"What? An air fryer for scrambled eggs? I have been scrambling eggs for over 60 years and didn't think you could teach me a new way. Wow, this is great! No pan to wash stuck egg out of! It tastes wonderful, will be making again." —lupini

Simple Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas

Simple Egg and Cheese Breakfast Quesadillas

"Love this recipe! It's so easy to customize to everyone's tastes. I prefer using shredded cheese to Velveeta, but the Velveeta tasted great, too. Set this up like an omelet bar so everyone can pick their toppings!" —Mom On Fire

Bacon and Gruyère Sous Vide Egg Bites

Bacon and Gruyere Sous Vide Egg Bites

"This is a great recipe! I made this as it is written and the egg bites are delicious! It takes a little bit of prep work to cook the bacon (I like to pan-fry at a low setting) and I prefer to shred a block of fresh cheese, but worth the time to have grab-and-go protein-packed breakfasts for the entire week!" —TJ2RN

Simple Broccoli and Brie Cheese Quiche

"Fluffy inside, with lots of flavor! I added one more egg for a total of four eggs. I also couldn't find Brie slices at my grocery store, so I spread mustard and spreadable Brie cheese on the bottom of the pie crust. I've made this twice now, and it's a favorite in our house." —emight12

"Good recipe and easy to customize — I have a vegetarian in the family. If you have trouble flipping you can flip it onto a plate then slide it back into the skillet. I usually add a little butter to the pan before sliding the tortilla back in." —Jusnocon

Basted Eggs

"I only recently heard the term 'basted eggs.' We love that the whites are set without becoming crispy/crunchy trying to get the yolk right. And with this technique, you can easily get the yolk perfect. Very easy to do, a little less mess, and predictably good results." —ness

Sous Vide Egg Bites

Sous Vide Egg Bites

"Solid recipe (I have used several) with clear instructions for those who are new to the method. I always do a few without extras, then diversify with various dairy, meat, and/or veggie add-ins for the rest depending on what I have in the fridge. This works nicely for me to make ahead and enjoy throughout the week; I always double the batch." —nursermk

Roasted Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Chorizo Breakfast Bowls

"This made a beautiful breakfast. I added some corn and used plant-based chorizo crumbles and no one knew the difference. Also topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and some fresh cilantro. A few green onions would probably be a nice add as well." —Brenda

"Oh, my stars! This is absolutely scrumptious. The very best egg dish I have had. A couple of pieces of sourdough rye to mop up and then plate-licking for zero waste. A definite keeper." —irish

"Fantastic! We used coconut cream instead of heavy cream because we didn't have any on hand. Didn't notice any change in taste or consistency. This was delicious and so easy! We are adding it to our breakfast rotation!" —lori

"I have made this recipe now many times and it's pretty much foolproof. I really prefer the texture and flavor of this method to the traditional hard-boiled egg. It's delicious with just a little finishing salt on top or is a great addition to a salad." —Lacyanne

"I've made this recipe a lot, and have gotten so many compliments. It's great for company — you get an egg dish without having to stand over a pan while guests are there. Baking the eggs makes it taste like there's a crust on the bottom. This one is a keeper — so versatile and delicious!" —hoextean

"Oh my goodness, this was bananas. I used fresh red peppers, onions, and a mess of garlic instead of using frozen, and I used chipotle Tabasco. I served this with bacon and fruit salad. Thumbs up from all four of us. Crazy good. I loved how cheap this was to make. Really impressed." —Sarah Jo

Ham and Hash Brown Quiche

Ham and Hash Brown Quiche

"I had been looking for a quiche recipe with a hash brown crust and I don't need to look any further. The great thing about quiche is that you can experiment with fillings. Baking times were right on for my oven. My husband said, 'Yup, you can make this again.'" —Easy Does It

"So easy to make! I used bacon (instead of ham) only because it's all I had on hand. But I stuck with the Gruyère as the recipe specifies, and I thought these eggs were excellent. There are many possibilities with this recipe by switching up the chives with regional herbs that pair well with a specific regional cheese." —NORTHWESTGAL

"My family absolutely loves this dish! I have made it three times since discovering the recipe, and I think my favorite thing about it (besides it being delicious) is how versatile and customizable it is. I have used different cheese, ham instead of bacon, and shallot instead of an onion to give it a more subtle flavor. Don't be afraid to make this dish and play around with it." —mikemaritch

"Delicious! I made mine in a bowl, and the recipe didn't specify whether to scramble the eggs or not, so I did. Great combo of flavors and a nice, fresh-tasting breakfast. YUM!" —Christina

Single Skillet Hearty Breakfast

"Love one-skillet meals! Make sure to cut the potatoes into small cubes so they cook quickly. I left the mushrooms out, hubby doesn't like them (silly man) but I know they would have been delicious. Next time, I would add some diced red and yellow bell peppers." —Baking Nana

"What a yummy quiche! My husband claims it’s the best he’s ever had. I sautéed some onion in the bacon drippings and then wilted fresh spinach in the pan as well. I also sprinkled panko breadcrumbs with the Parmesan. Delicious recipe, can’t wait to savor the leftovers for lunch." —SJOLSON54

DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS 

"Tasty and easy! Looks beautiful coming out of the oven! I had to substitute fresh spinach for frozen (it was what I had) and also used Jack cheese instead of Muenster. I can see adding other veggies and other changes — it's a good starting point for anything in the fridge!" —Franki

Frittata with Leftover Greens

Frittata with Leftover Greens

"I love recipes like this, where you can use your leftover spinach or other greens. It tastes great, like a spinach/egg pie — especially when you put some cooked bacon in it, too. Some breakfast restaurants make something similar, but this recipe tastes much better to me!" —CeCe

Cheesy Chorizo Frittata

"I've made this several times. It's a great breakfast. It's quick enough for a before-work breakfast if you have the cheese pre-sliced and make the pesto beforehand." —samg123

Italian Frittata

Italian Frittata

"I've been trying off and on to make frittatas for years and only ever got a glorified omelet. Tonight the wait is over. This recipe is so easy I figured even I couldn't mess it up, and I didn't. I used chopped peppers, fresh mushrooms, onion flakes, and half a tomato I had lying around. My husband looked at it and said, 'WHAT is THAT?' in tones of joy." —VickyN
