Deviled Egg Recipes
With the holidays just around the corner, the deviled egg trays will be making an appearance on our party tables. This classic appetizer can go from the traditional mayonnaise and mustard version to flavors that will knock your guests’ socks off. In this gallery, you will find recipes for deviled eggs with bacon, peso and even barbecue! Here’s a great tip too: Don’t throw out extra deviled eggs! They can be made into a terrific egg salad sandwich the next day.
Egg White Recipes
For those watching their fat, calorie and cholesterol intake, swapping egg whites for whole eggs is a great choice without sacrificing the high protein benefits. Egg whites can be scrambled, made into an omelet or even fried for a breakfast sandwich. For the most part, if you can make a dish with whole eggs, you can find a way to substitute them with whites. Pro Tip: Two egg whites equal 1 whole egg.
Quiche Recipes
Let’s talk quiche for a moment. If you’ve never had it, quiche is best described as egg pie. A pie crust filled with eggs, meat, veggies, cheese, etc. baked until it sets up and can be served like any other pie. Here you will find Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Quiche, Ham, Cheese and Onion Quiche and even a slow cooker quiche with bacon and spinach. Any of these would be terrific for a Sunday brunch or even a weeknight supper, for those who enjoy “brinner” like my family.
Other Ways To Use Extra Eggs
A perfectly cooked over easy (aka dippy) egg is the secret to my take on Korean Beef Bowls. As soon as you cut into it, that runny yolk covers the meat, veggies and rice creating a rich, flavorful sauce. It’s also the reason I can’t wait to try the Fried Egg BLT for our next sandwich supper. And there are a few pasta dinners that are perfect for a date night at home, like Pasta Carbonara, which is so easy, but tastes elegant and refined. Eggs are one of those ingredients that will never go out of style. With over 100 ways to cook them, and countless dishes to use them in, there is a very good reason why they have stood the test of time and continue to be a favorite around the world.
