Cliché but true: When I returned to DC after the holidays, my body called for greens, stat. No more wine. Take a break from cheese. Give me leaves, please. And so I obliged. If you make this recipe and post a pic, tag @meags_eggs on Instagram! Ingredients: 2 cloves of garlic (or some garlic powder…

Spanish Paprika Chickpeas with Spinach and Eggs
I’ve been loving the taste of whole chickpeas lately, so I looked up classic chickpea dishes I could supplement with eggs, and found a Spanish recipe combining them with paprika and spinach. This is the result of my adaptation of that idea. If you make this recipe and post a pic, tag @meags_eggs on Instagram!…

Poached Egg Benedicts with Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, Balsamic and Apricot Jam
This isn’t the first time you’ve seen me pair eggs with goat cheese and prosciutto. I can’t help myself. I buy the ingredients for one prosciutto crostini recipe and end up making a different breakfast out of all of them for weeks. No regrets. This particular version is a poached eggs benedict I made a…
Poached Eggs On Sweet Potato Toast with Avocado and Goat Cheese
I don’t claim to be a health-food blog, but I feel so good after making this alternative-to-bread breakfast! I was inspired by the many delicious-looking sweet potato toasts fellow-blogger Skylar Allen makes (see her Instagram). While Skylar roasts hers in the oven, I, being impatient, grilled mine over the stove. It turned out so good,…
Poached Eggs on Pasta alla Bolognese
I am truly in love with this meal. Meaty bolognese sauce? Scrumptious rotini noodles? Topped with creamy, runny poached eggs?! My breakfast and dinner fantasies had a baby. If you have extra leftover pasta, and have already tried eggs in pasta hell or eggs in pasta nests, you must try my favorite yolk pasta combo…
Avocado Roses with Poached Eggs
This is one of the more difficult breakfasts I have attempted. If it’s your first time, I’d suggest trying these on a weekend when you have plenty of time rather than when you’re rushed before work. But they are worth the extra effort and so delicious. Ingredients: 1 avocado 2 pieces of bread 2 eggs…
Sriracha Mayo Avocado Toast
I received sriracha mayo as a gift from Sir Kensington’s, which inspired me to try this combination. The avocado and spicy mayo complimented each other perfectly! Ingredients: 2 pieces of bread 1 avocado Sriracha mayo (I used Sir Kensington’s) 2 eggs Your favorite seasoning (I use Trader Joe’s everything seasoning mix or Z&Z DC’s Za’atar…
My Poached Eggs Method
I was taught how to poach by a friend in college – a method that doesn’t require a poacher tool, plastic bag, vinegar or swirl technique – and her way is how I’ve done it ever since. Try it out and let me know how it goes – and tag me @meags_eggs if you post a…
