30 of Our Favorite Ways to Put an Egg On It

If there’s one ingredient we’ll never not be excited about, it’s the incredible, edible egg. It’s not because of the rich, sunny-yellow yolks or the way the whites crisp up when you fry them in hot oil (okay, it’s partly about those things): It’s the fact that we never run out of ways to use them. Check out some of our most beloved egg recipes, all of which put these protein-packed parcels of joy in the spotlight.

Since eggs are affordable to buy in almost any grocery store and fit into a well-balanced diet, they’re a fantastic tentpole ingredient: we often build entire meals off of things that pair well with eggs (almost everything, it turns out). The pros in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen recommend mastering different egg techniques so you have an arsenal of ways to use them: Think effortless scrambled eggs, perfect hard-boiled eggs, fluffy omelets, deviled eggs and way, way more.

We've rounded up some of the many ways to turn eggs into a meal with as little prep time as possible, from loaded sheet tray bakes to custardy quiches to travel-friendly breakfast sandwiches. Any of these recipes make a great dinner, in addition to quick breakfasts or delicious brunch dishes — just add a salad and bread and you’re done. So go ahead and get cracking!
