Eggs are cheap, delicious, and nutritious. But a simple scramble can get a bit boring. Thankfully, eggs are also incredibly versatile, and there are many dishes to try. If you’re looking to spice things up, here are three great recipes for your breakfast table, brunch, or even dinner.
Shakshuka
This Middle Eastern and North African dish features eggs poached in a hearty sauce of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices like cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Start by sauteing onions and bell peppers in olive oil, then add garlic, spices, and tomatoes, simmering until thickened. Crack eggs into the sauce, cook until set, and serve garnished with fresh herbs alongside bread or pita.
Japanese Tamagoyaki
This sweet and savory rolled omelette with a unique layered texture, is a staple in Japanese cuisine. Whisk eggs with soy sauce, mirin or sugar, and water. Cook thin layers of the egg mixture in a skillet, rolling them up sequentially for a multi-layered effect. Slice and serve.
Italian Egg Drop Soup
This simple, elegant soup combines chicken broth with beaten eggs. Simmer quality chicken broth, then add a mixture of eggs, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings, creating delicate egg strands in the broth. Serve this comforting soup garnished with fresh herbs.
