Incredible Eggs
Eggs are one of the oldest and most widely consumed food sources on the planet. Dense with nutrients (Protein, Choline, Lutein, Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Folate to name just a few) and low in calories (70 per egg) the egg is a powerhouse of nutrition in a tiny and very versatile package.
Used for everything from leavening, to thickening to a full-out protein source, the abilities of the egg are astounding - and boy, do they taste good! From omelets to souffles and everything in-between, it's not hard to find a way to incorporate eggs into your diet, and it certainly doesn't hurt that they're budget-friendly, too.
Simple recipes like the 3-Egg Omelet (pictured) filled with any of a thousand ingredients (the one above uses Ricotta and Parmesan cheeses blended with black olives, green onions and grape tomatoes) and a quick-fix for breakfast lunch or dinner, it's just one egg recipe you'll turn to again and again.
How about Scrambled Egg Towers, Garden Frittata, Wild Mushroom, Spinach and Gruyère Frittata, Duck-centric Breakfast (a whole different breed of egg!), or Breakfast Pot Pie - each unique and each delectable. A quick search on Half Hour Meals turns up plenty and there are more to come. Check out these delicious egg recipes and more under our Recipes tab.

Eggs are a favorite of mine and I use them practically every day. Yesterday, I scrambled eggs and added freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese and they were accompanied by blueberry pancakes and a side of thinly sliced ham from my grocer's deli. Really yummy. In the afternoon, we prepared a bread loaf and used eggs as one of the binders. Later we had a salad with a few hard boiled eggs as a garnish. I have also tried the Three Egg Omlet Recipe, here at HHM. It was delicious. You are right Annie. Eggs are one of the most healthy and versatile of foods.

Whenever you say, "I don't know what to make for dinner", you open the refrigerator and there they are saying, "Here I am the one that you love, waiting for another chance", sound familiar anyone? Eggs never fail to please either for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Eggs are a soothing and comfort food. Breakfast anytime is rewarding.
