Eggs are an awesome source of nutrients including protein, vitamin B, selenium, and vitamin D just to name a few. They’re a staple of cooking all over the world, and there are plenty of ways to make them that you’ve probably tried. So if you’re looking for new ways to incorporate eggs into you diet, here are some recipe ideas you may not have tried yet!

Shakshuka

A Mediterranean/middle-eastern breakfast staple, shakshuka is like a stew where eggs are the star. It’s a sauce made of tomato, pepper, paprika, onion, and spices, with lots of flavors and often some serious spice packed in. But the crown jewel is the eggs nestled into the sauce, cooked to your personal preference of yolk-runny-ness. Mop up the whole thing with some nice crusty bread!

Omurice

This Japanese dish whose name is a shortening of “rice omelet” is meant to be made with things lying around the house, especially leftover rice flavored with ketchup and a beautiful omelet on top. It’s often served in style with beautiful technique at restaurants, but you can make it easily at home without the bells and whistles.

Turkish Eggs

This unique and yummy egg dish stars poached eggs swimming in labneh (a tangy middle eastern yogurt), olive oil, butter, and spices. Mop it all up with crunchy crusty bread for a delicious breakfast!
