From deviled eggs to egg salad, there's plenty of proof that eggs are delicious any time, from breakfast to dinner. These recipes are so versatile you'll be cooking eggs morning and night.

When ready to fill egg white halves, snip a corner of the zip-top plastic bag and pipe away.
Fried Deviled Eggs
In the South, we'll fry just about anything at least once. Slightly spicy and spiked with dill, these Fried Deviled Eggs are a keeper. For more heat, add Cajun seasoning or Old Bay to the breading.
Bacon-And-Cheddar Grits Quiche
We can't think of much that can surpass a quiche crust made from bacony grits. Spread cheese to the edge of the warm "crust" to prevent the custard from seeping out while the quiche bakes. To remove the quiche from the springform pan, run a sharp knife around the edges.

The key to keeping the eggs inside their biscuit shells is pliable bacon.

Use extra biscuit cutouts to eat with butter and jam.
