Arguably, carbonara is the best pasta dish to put an egg on and call brunch. After all, the traditional recipe calls for a raw egg to bind the sauce together with pancetta (or bacon) and fresh cheese. So why not add more egg into the mix? I had fun creating this “nest” version of carbonara,…

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…
Eggs on Pizza: 3 Easy Methods
I’ll admit it: I’ve gone out of my way to make pizza for breakfast an acceptable meal. And I am not ashamed.

Breakfast in Bread – Inspired by The Barge House
As soon as this “Breakfast in Bread” video began making its way around my social media feeds, I knew I’d be attempting it soon. The viral video depicts all sorts of brunch ingredients baked into a bread bowl, a dish served by The Barge House in London. I bought some large dinner rolls to try…
Prosciutto Goat Cheese Breakfast Crostini
Before adding eggs, this crostini combination was one of my favorite appetizers to bring to parties. One morning after such a party, I used the leftover prosciutto, goat cheese and arugula and added two poached eggs topped with drizzly olive oil and vinegar for breakfast. It was amazing. This time, I repeated that meal, but…
Eggs Baked in Butternut Squash Penne with Goat Cheese
This was inspired by baked ziti, a traditional Italian pasta dish. Lacking ziti noodles, and craving the combo of butternut squash and goat cheese, I cooked up this comfort food breakfast with penne, instead. The yolks were a wonderful complement to the sauce and cheese! Also, I happened to have gluten-free chickpea pasta so that’s…
Eggs in Shell Pasta with Vodka Sauce
Featuring gluten-free chickpea pasta! (not required, but a good choice if you’re craving real pasta and can’t have it). I recently had the opportunity to try this chickpea-based pasta by Banza, and as someone who CAN have regular pasta, I can tell you that it was GOOD! But what isn’t good, smothered in cheesy vodka…

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…

Baked Eggs Caprese Cups
Why make eggs on toast when you can transform your bread into something cute and Italian-inspired? I had basil and tomatoes at home, and so this caprese variation was born. Try it and let me know what you think! Ingredients: 4 pieces of bread (I used white bread) 4 eggs 2 slices of deli-sliced mozzarella…
Baked Eggs Ciabatta Rolls
Eggs nestled in a bed of Italian-style bread = match made in heaven. Inspired by Bon Appetit Magazine’s latest cover, wandering the bakery section of my grocery store I thought to myself, what can I put an egg on here?
