From breakfast to dinner, either sunny-side-up or hard-boiled, eggs are incredibly versatile. After all, they can be added to so many different recipes for a burst of flavor and protein. And, they come together in the blink of an eye (or, should we say, the crack of an egg?). While a basic scramble or fried egg on toast is delicious, why not think outside the egg carton? Ree Drummond has shown us that recipes can be incredibly creative, and these egg-cellent recipes are living proof! Ahead, try the best egg recipes so you can shake up (or scramble?) your meal planning.
You may be wondering just how much can you actually do with eggs. Well according to Ree, quite a lot! Hungry cowboys and cowgirls will appreciate her savory cowboy quiche or hearty eggs Benedict strata. If you're hosting a cute Easter brunch, try peeling hardboiled eggs for a dozen of Ree's deviled eggs or bake one of our hearty breakfast casseroles. And have you ever wished you could get a great sandwich from The Mercantile, without leaving the comfort of your home? Then you have to try the recipe for Ree's breakfast-for-dinner sandwich, which is inspired by her favorite breakfast sandwich at The Merc.
Eggs are also great for the base of so many recipes, even when you don't know they're there. Think: French toast, Dutch babies, and even certain types of pies! So time to crack open that egg carton and get... well, crackin' with these egg recipes. You'll want them for every meal!
