Savory Veggie Baked Eggs Pastry

My first puff pastry eggsperiment! There are so many possibilities with puff pastry (that I’ll probably try in the future), but for now I started with a quick baked eggs and veggie combo. Try it out (it’s a quick one – doable before work) and if you make any modifications, take pics and show me! Ingredients:…

Eggs in Mac & Cheese

Two perfect foods, combined. The result of a collaboration with DC food-blogger and fellow cheese-lover, A Hole Lotta Cheese! We used a mac & cheese recipe by The Pioneer Woman as our foundation, which you can find here. Our modifications for baking it with a yolky touch are below. You can also make this using any leftover mac…

Eggs in Spinach with Butternut Squash

This breakfast is perfect when all my body wants are vegetables after an indulgent weekend of junk food or booze. It feels good to eat this much green, and the butternut squash makes it feel so decadent. Treat yourself to this on a Sunday or Monday morning! Ingredients: 2 eggs Olive oil 5 oz spinach 1/2…

Egg in a Hole

You can cook an egg into almost any food, especially if there’s a hole in it! Bagels, leftover pizza, waffles, bell peppers – the list goes on. Here’s the general process I follow when I throw together an egg in a hole using the stove. This works best for foods that would burn or overcook…

Fun-Shaped Fried Eggs

See examples of the shapes I’ve tried and a general description of the process below. Ingredients: Cookie cutter(s) of your choice. Smaller shapes without small, thin details work best 2…

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…

Prosciutto Egg Cups

This breakfast looks fancy but requires so little work. I love starting my day with a batch of them and saving some for lunch at the office. My favorite variation uses prosciutto, but this recipe works great with bacon if that’s what you have. Ingredients: 4 strips of prosciutto or bacon 2 or 3 pieces of…

Huevos Rancheros

I’m a huge fan of incorporating Mexican food into breakfast, and there are so many ways you can do it. Have extra salsa? Leftover rice and beans? Leftover corn or other veggies you need to use? Cook an egg in it before work to treat yourself, or on the weekend when you need comfort food….

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…
