From loaded egg bakes and a simple egg salad to more traditional Turkish takes that treat eggs as the main dish, here are a few ways to the breakfast classic you may not have heard of before



This little protein bomb is synonymous with breakfast and to be perfectly honest, I can’t blame anyone for that. A single medium-sized egg has only 75 calories and about 10% of that is high-quality protein, making it great for a filling start to the day. But when thinking of making eggs I usually resort to two ways, either hard boil them or turn them into scrambled eggs with whatever I have lying around at home. While still filling, these old ways can get pretty boring, so I decided to list a few different and fun ways to consume this nutrition powerhouse.

Green onion egg salad

I have eaten many salads with eggs in them and a few that feature eggs as the main ingredient, but a few years back, when I tried this variation, I was amazed at how something so simple could be so delicious! It is more of a side dish rather than the main deal but considering how vast and varied a classic Turkish breakfast spread is that is not a bad thing. You might even get cravings for this out of the blue, and even without bread, since it tastes just as good and is just as filling.
