I saw a recipe video on Facebook depicting cheesy bell pepper “pizzas” and knew immediately that I wanted to try a Mexican version of it. And I’m so glad I did – they turned out so good, I’ve now made this for both dinner and breakfast in the last week! The cilantro spread I used as…

Sun-dried Tomato Waffle Egg Cups
This savory waffle breggfast has officially been added to my list of all-time favorites! I was inspired by a local D.C. startup called SWAP Foods that makes plant-based, gluten free AND paleo frozen waffles. (Here’s my interview with their founder when I first discovered swapples last year). These cups were such a delicious way to use them….
Spinach & Eggplant Breakfast Pita Pizzas
I recently discovered a South Indian-inspired eggplant spread made here in Washington, D.C. It’s perfect with eggs, pita bread, tortilla chips or toast — but my new favorite way to use it is as a sauce for breakfast pita pizzas! The spread is by Sasya Foods, a locally-based company making vegan and gluten free spreads that also happen…
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…

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
Using cookie cutters to fry eggs into fun shapes is perfect fodder for Instagram, but also an easy way to make a quick, tasty meal. 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….

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!
