For those mornings when choosing between red or green salsa feels impossible, enter huevos divorciados, the ultimate solution. This dish, from our Senior Nutrition & News Editor at EatingWell, hails from Mexico and boasts a unique twist. It features two sunny-side-up eggs nestled on tortillas, each yolk surrounded by its own salsa. Typically served with a side of beans, it’s a delicious breakfast that celebrates the best of both worlds.

Whip up eggs with a few simple ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, and you have the makings of a breakfast that’s prepped, seasoned and will be ready to eat in a little more than a minute before running out the door. If you don’t want to store the mixture in individual mugs, you can store it in an airtight container then transfer to a mug when you’re ready to cook it.

Blistered Cherry Tomato & Fried Egg Toast

This recipe is one that our recipe developers turn to quite often. Cherry tomatoes are reliably sweet and readily available year-round. If you don’t have ricotta cheese, you can swap in cottage cheese, Greek yogurt or mascarpone. While we favor runny yolks and like how they coat the toast and tomatoes, hard yolks are just fine too. Simply cook the eggs a minute or two longer.

Sausage, Spinach & Mushroom Egg Bites

These protein-packed sausage, spinach and mushroom egg bites are the perfect little breakfast snack to tide you over until your next meal. Keep half the batch in the fridge for the immediate days ahead, and freeze the other half for later in the month when you don’t have time to cook but want a healthy bite to eat.

On those days when you truly cannot be bothered to cook or are short on time, here’s avocado toast with jammy eggs to the rescue. This quick, filling dish can easily slide into breakfast, lunch or even dinner, paired with a side of dressed greens.

It doesn’t get easier than this healthy breakfast taco that’s ready in just five minutes. Kale or arugula will work just as well if you don’t have spinach on hand. If you want an over-hard egg instead, and notice the egg is browning too quickly, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to help steam the egg and set the yolk faster.

This easy one-pot meal melds tangy tomato sauce with perfectly poached eggs, ideal for sopping up with crispy toasted bread. We like to add a dash of heavy cream to give the sauce some added richness, but you can leave it out if you prefer. 

Spinach-Artichoke Egg in a Bagel Hole

This riff on egg-in-a-hole, where a hole is cut into a slice of bread to hold and cook an egg, uses a bagel instead—so the hole’s already built in. The spinach-and-artichoke dip underneath the egg helps hold it in place and adds a creamy element to this easy breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!).

Eggs in Purgatory

Eggs in Purgatory, an Italian favorite, involves gently cooking eggs in tomato sauce (with some regional variations) and can fit neatly into breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our rendition features anchovies for an infusion of savory flavor, and baby spinach to pack in extra veggies.

Baked Zucchini, Feta & Egg Tortilla

Break out of your breakfast routine with this simple and satisfying baked zucchini, feta and egg tortilla. We love the combination of sweet zucchini, onion and garlic, but feel free to use any leftover cooked veggies you may have on hand. Serve with your favorite hot sauce or extra fresh herbs.

Scrambled Eggs with Spinach, Feta & Pita

This quick all-in-one breakfast is fluffy, light and easy to pull together. The pita softens in the veggie mix, blending in with the rest of the ingredients while still holding onto some texture. Letting the eggs set for a few seconds before stirring them into the pita ensures it doesn’t immediately soak up the eggs and become soggy.

Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Egg Bites

These sun-dried tomato and feta egg bites are the ideal grab-and-go breakfast, with each bite filled with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and briny feta cheese encased in a creamy egg custard. After baking, stash these flavorful bites in your fridge or freezer for future meals.

Roasted Red Pepper & Spinach Egg Bites

These egg bites are filled with veggies surrounded by a light and creamy egg custard. Once you get the hang of making these, try switching up the veggies and cheese. You can also add grated garlic, chopped fresh herbs or even a few dashes of hot sauce to give them a little kick.
