Start the Day Off Right With These “Egg-celent” Recipes

(0 comments)

Have you ever ordered a breakfast item only to be asked “how do you like your eggs?” 

For some, they have an answer right away. They get their eggs scrambled, poached or hard-boiled the same way every single time. Others may have a harder time choosing. Eggs can bring in a variety of textures that can really alter a dish. Hard-boiled eggs, for example, are quite different from sunny side up. 

Eggs have soared in popularity as a common breakfast choice. Whether they’re made on a daily basis, are made ahead and frozen or are saved for slower weekend brunches, eggs offer versatility and excitement, no matter what your schedule looks like. 

To share in the joy of eating eggs for breakfast and beyond, here we share some great reasons why eggs can be a delicious choice. We’ll also share some of our top “egg-celent” recipes to try out for yourself.  

Health Benefits of Eggs 

When it comes to an inexpensive source of protein, eggs are your best bet. While they may be known to be high in cholesterol and should be consumed with moderation and attention to your own health, there is much more to them. 

The egg white has more than half of the amount of protein in the entire egg, so eating just the egg white out of concerns for cholesterol or other issues with the yolk can still keep you feeling full. 

Eggs are also rich in vitamins and nutrients. They contain vitamins like B12, A, D, B2 and E, all of which serve important roles in your body. They are also high in things like iron and phosphorous, which also serve important functions in your body.
