What would you cook for me if I asked you to make me breakfast with egg? Scrambled egg? Fried eggs and bacon? Eggy bread? What if I were to tell you that those ideas were only the very tip of the eggs-for-breakfast iceberg?

Every single one of the recipes on this page features eggs. In some of them, eggs are the main character; in others, they play only a supporting role. But those eggs are in each and every single one, and they’re all perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.
We love a versatile food, don’t we?
Let’s get stuck in…

How many of have you already tried? You might even find they give you a little inspiration to come up with something tasty of your own creation.

20 Poached Egg Breakfast Ideas
It’s now time for me to share with you all the poached egg recipes and tweaks I found, but before I do, how about a fun egg-based fact first? Chickens were thought to have been domesticated as far back as 7500 BCE, by the people of South-East Asia.
And now I’m going to share another interesting egg-based fact with you, but this time about egg cartons. They were first created in 1911 and are a Canadian creation. A chap called Joseph Coyle invented them, from Smithers in the province of British Columbia.

10 Breakfast with Eggs and Vegetables
Eggs are actually quite incredible when you think about it. They can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, from breakfast right through to the midnight snack. You can make scrambled eggs in just a couple of minutes with the microwave, but that’s definitely not the only quick dish.
Eggs work well with a wide range of other ingredients, too. Vegetables, for example, are commonly served up alongside eggs. That’s why I’ve decided to create a special category for the egg recipes that also contain lots of nice, healthy vegetables.

20 Breakfast with Eggs and Meat
Eggs and bacon (or meat-free bacon) is a firm favorite on many a breakfast table, but bacon is not the only meat that pairs well. Ham, spam, pancetta, prosciutto, chorizo, and sausage are great with eggs, amongst many others.
Boiled eggs are thought to contain vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin A, riboflavin, zinc, phosphorous, and more, which means they’ll make for a healthy, nutrition-boosting breakfast as well as a super tasty one.

15 Breakfast Cups and Muffins with Egg
Savoury muffins and cakes are great for breakfast on-the-go. You can bake them the night before and simply grab one as you run out the door, and you can even batch-create and then freeze them. This is actually a great way to use up eggs that are slowly creeping towards their use-by date.
Not only that, but kids will also love them. Who doesn’t enjoy breakfast when it has it a cake-like name?! You can tweak and customize these dishes in so many ways, you’re bound to find something that the whole family will enjoy.

20 Breakfast with Egg Sandwiches, Toast, and Wraps
It’s time for another eggy fact, people. Going back to the nutrients that eggs contain, they are one of the very few foods in which you can naturally find vitamin D. You’ll find foods fortified with the vitamin, such as cereals, but there aren’t many foods out there that naturally contain it.
Speaking from personal experience, a vitamin D deficiency is absolutely nothing to joke about. It leaves you feeling incredibly tired, wreaks havoc on your mental health, and generally leaves you feeling incredibly unpleasant.
So… yeah, make sure you get enough vitamin D, folks! (You can also get it from sunshine, in case you weren’t aware.)

10 Breakfast Egg Roll Ideas
If you need to save some money on your food shopping, always pick white eggs over brown ones. The brown ones are usually a bit more expensive because of the process to get them. Bigger hens lay brown eggs, and bigger hens means more space and more feed, amongst other things. Because of this increase in cost to the farmer, the cost is passed down to the consumer.
Another way you can save money is by using your eggs up before they go bad. You can actually freeze many of these recipes, which means you can pop the leftovers in the freezer and grab them as and when you need to. No more need to throw bad eggs away!

5 Baked Egg Breakfast Recipes
Baked eggs are quite an easy dish to make for breakfast. Usually, you throw everything into a pan and then bake them in the oven, although there are many other methods and ways of whipping them up these days.
Whether or not you think breakfast is important, there are definitely benefits to be had from fitting in your morning meal. According to Marilia Chamon, a health specialist, the right breakfast will bring benefits such as, “steady glucose levels, consistent energy, less cravings and a better mood.”

10 Devilled Egg Breakfast Ideas
Some people don’t think of devilled eggs as a breakfast idea, but who says you can’t have them for your morning meal? Eggs are packed with nutrients and can be good for heart health when eaten in moderation, and when you combine that with breakfast, you have a dish that is jam-packed with benefits.
Breakfast isn’t just thought to have overall health benefits, either. A study in Tokyo showed that people who skipped breakfast were more likely to experience depression. One study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology also showed that skipping breakfast could lead to a massively increased risk of suffering from strokes and other cardiovascular problems… and then dying from them.

5 Cheesy Breakfast with Egg Ideas
Most of us believe that the white of the egg contains more protein than the yolk but the fact is, they contain exactly the same amount of protein. The yellow part has more calories than the white part, however. If you’re on the hunt for a lower calorie breakfast, egg white omelettes and similar dishes are the way to go.
The yolk contains a lot of nutrients and micronutrients, so it’s wise to eat them occasionally if you can. You’ll find that these cheesy breakfast with egg ideas will help with that!

5 Breakfast Casserole Ideas
Casseroles take longer than other breakfast with egg recipes, but they’re definitely worth the wait. You could even put some in a Tupperware tub and take it to work for lunch.
Have you ever wondered why we tend to eat more chicken eggs than eggs of other birds? Quail eggs, duck eggs, and more are sold but they’re rarely the ones we stick in our fridge. To put it bluntly, it is more cost effective to produce chicken eggs. They lay them at a faster rate than other birds. It all comes down to profit, basically. (And convenience, of course.)

10 Breakfast with Egg and Potato Ideas
How do you feel about potatoes with your eggs for breakfast? They go together so well. In fact, these ten recipes make up some of my favourite breakfast dishes… and you’ll soon see why that is.
Not only are these dishes super easy to make and delicious to eat, they’re also filling in a healthy way. You have the whole day to work off those carbs, and the slow release will mean that you have more energy throughout the day. That’s a winning combination if you ask me!

15 Breakfast Omelette Recipes
Omelettes are such a traditional breakfast dish but I wonder how often you get inventive or creative with the ingredients you add to them. For the longest time, I only added cheese and ham, but after researching this list of breakfast with egg recipes, I soon realised that there was a massive world of omelettes that I hadn’t yet explored.
Whether you want them fluffy, cheesy, spicy, or traditional, there is literally an omelette for everyone. They also make a great brunch or lunch meal, and you can have them with sides, such as chips, for a main meal too!
