When you're busy, tired, or unable to bother with an elaborate meal, there's nothing like an egg breakfast to fill you up and get you ready for the day. Get your dose of protein, iron, vitamins, and more with these 12 creative and healthy egg recipes!
Asparagus With Grated Egg
The inventive technique of grating a hard-boiled egg jazzes up this simple steamed asparagus [1]. A drizzle of vinaigrette ties this whole plate together.
No-Bake Veggie Frittata
Made with cherry tomatoes, cubes of mozzarella cheese, black beans, and purple basil, a high-protein piece of this veggie frittata [2] is bursting with flavor. Pair your under-200-calorie piece with whole-wheat toast or a side salad for the perfect breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.
Quinoa Egg Bake
Bake two superproteins together for breakfast: quinoa and eggs [3]. The quinoa serves as a crust while providing 12 grams of complete protein [4] per half cup, while each egg offers seven grams of protein [5]. You'll even get your iron and calcium from the spinach and milk in this tasty recipe!
Savory Asian Oatmeal
Instead of starting your day with the same old simple oatmeal, bring a little spicy flair to the table with savory Asian oatmeal [6] that's topped off with a tasty egg.
Turkey Sausage Egg Muffins
Lots of veggies and a good dose of protein, all in a portable size — it's all there in these gluten-free egg muffins [7].
Cinnamon-Spiced Baked Eggs
Jazz up your weeknight dinner with cinnamon-spiced baked eggs [8]. The tomato-onion sauce may satisfy any pasta cravings, and the allspice, cinnamon, and clove flavors add an unexpected element.

Add Veggies to Scrambled Eggs
Yet another way to sneak in your veggies — mixed in with fluffy, perfectly scrambled eggs and a little bit of melted cheese. Pretty much any green will do, but for a powerhouse combo, try this recipe for arugula, goat cheese, and scrambled eggs [12].
