Baked

Baking is an easy way to get the most from your eggs with minimal effort. Just whisk whole eggs or egg whites in a bowl, pour into muffin pans and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Fried

You can add home fries, breakfast meats and fresh fruit or pour them into a skillet with veggies and leftover rice for a quick fried-rice that cleans out the fridge.

Scrambled

Break eggs into a bowl, whisk and add salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a hot pan and cook until they reach your desired consistency.

Over Easy

Break eggs directly into a hot skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until eggs start to set and then flip gently with a thin spatula. The whites should be set, while yolks remain soft.

Omelette

Crack a few eggs, chop some ingredients and fire up the pan. Omelets are quick and easy, plus you can add just about anything to keep flavors new and exciting.

Boiled

Boiled eggs keep well in the fridge, making a great grab-and-go protein. Chopped and sprinkled on salad, they’ll liven up any lunch.

Deviled 

Deviled eggs are technically an extension of hard-boiled, but they’re so delicious that they’ve earned their own spot on the list. To make them yourself, take cooled, peeled hard-boiled eggs and halve them with a knife.

Steamed

For an easier peel, creamier yolk, and more tender whites, try steaming your eggs. Water vapor heats eggs the same way that boiling water or a cast-iron pan would, but cooks them more gently. So get out your steamer and boil some water.
