There are tried and true crowd-pleasing standards that most of us often serve like deviled eggs, egg salad and french toast. There are haute egg dishes like, eggs Benedict and Huevos rancheros. Burritos filled with eggs, fritata's, egg casseroles, omelet's, soufflés and a variety of quiche are popular egg dishes and can be enjoyed any time. Aside from these sophisticated dishes (even if you don't prepare them!), eggs can be added to so many different foods.
Here are some fun, interesting and tasty ways to add variety and zest to your next meal using eggs. The fourteenth suggestion is my all-time favorite, simple, humble and delicious.
