Shakshuka!

OrdinarybloggerApril 29, 2014

Grains, greens and a fried egg.

marikahandakasApril 29, 2014

Shakshuka. Made it for folks who were Muslim-bashing. They raved and then I made sure to tell them it was a dish that originated in Muslim countries. Hooray for diversity in food and eating.

chefdave99April 30, 2014

Omlets

MargieAnneMay 1, 2014

For a healthy choice, I should say "a vegetable-rich omelet," but in my heart of hearts, I would rather have a Grand Marnier souffle made with almond paste and served with a glass of champagne. If I had it with a fruit salad, couldn't that count as an entree?

wmhinshawApril 30, 2014

Fried rice with egg ribbons.

mikejunewApril 30, 2014

Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon

Tinala523May 10, 2014

We raise our own chickens and there is absolutely no comparison to store bought eggs!! Marigold yellow and so plump! They make such a difference in every recipe, but our family favorite is in fresh pasta ("homemades") - delicious and such a beautiful color. Runner-up would be Quiche Lorraine, which is my husband's fav.

Seriously, you just cannot beat a proper deviled egg... Smokey paprika on top... Or a little caviar.

lmurphyMay 12, 2014

I've recently discovered shakshuka--eggs AND tomato sauce, yum!

CharmianCApril 14, 2014

My favourite dinner recipe featuring eggs is a simple Middle Eastern dish. It’s basically poached eggs floating on garlic-infused yogurt and drizzled with smoked-paprika butter. Add a slice of toasted granary bread and it’s healthy comfort food that hits the spot any time of day.

HannahLIMay 10, 2014

Mexican eggs

I had this awesome Flatbread Pizza at Emeri'ls NOLA restaurant that I occasionally recreate at home. Duck confit and fried egg pizza with truffle oil and arugula. Its one of my favorite ways to have eggs for dinner since I am one of those people who hates eating breakfast for dinner.

Mine's Spaghetti Carbonara

SenkimekiaApril 16, 2014

A quick meal that was often dished when I was growing up that I still turn to is a plate of rice with 2 eggs sunny side up or over easy served over top, and well seasoned with salt. You chop up the eggs into the rice and let that yolky goodness get all mixed in to the rice. Seems almost too simple but is amazingly delicious!

KarincsApril 15, 2014

An over-easy fried egg served on a bed of roasted root vegetables with sautéed greens, garlic, and a bit of hot peppers added--so good!

pwsnookApril 27, 2014

Outside of having breakfast for dinner and agreeing with others that you can never go wrong with a good carbonara, I'll put a plug in for salads which use eggs - hard, soft, or raw - as a critical ingredient. Such as Caesar, Nicoise, Cobb, and Spinach.

hihelen_westbrookApril 16, 2014

fatcat55jcApril 25, 2014

mix together any flat wide pasta with mushrooms that have been gently sauteed in butter and herbs of your choice, then place a sunnyside up egg on top.

CorvetteGuyApril 15, 2014

Unless I missed the post, I amazed no one mentioned Chicken Marengo. Had the dish 30 years ago and still like it today.

fgavinApril 25, 2014

Nothing beats poached eggs with runny yolks on hot buttered sourdough, with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

sabrina7April 15, 2014

My favorite dinners with eggs are 1) vege omelets, and 2) a dish from "Vegetarian cooking for Everyone": Green Lentils and spinach with hard-cooked eggs and toast.

CarolSprengerApril 15, 2014

That's a tough question, but it's a toss-up between a vegetable frittata or a plain cheese and mushroom omelette. Num!
