Are you tired of your standard boiled egg and are you curious what else you could do with eggs? These twelve different ways to prepare an egg could be just what you're looking for. Maybe your new favorite egg is among them…
Oven eggs are a decadent way to put a hearty meal on the table. You can make them for a Sunday brunch or when you are going to have breakfast with a large group. You can make them simple by breaking an egg in an oven dish and sprinkle some fresh herbs on top, but you can also make them fancier by adding cream, Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, for example.

A simple, yet delicious way to eat your eggs:scrambled eggs. One of the secrets to making soft, creamy scrambled eggs is constantly moving the eggs around the pan with a rubber spatula. Fry them on a low heat until they just start to set to prevent dried out eggs. Only add salt and pepper after baking, otherwise you may end up with watery bits.
Do you want something different, but not too different? Try a soft-boiled egg. The key to success is putting your eggs in cold water and then bringing it to a boil. Once the water is boiling rapidly, remove the eggs from the heat and cover the pan for three minutes before shocking the eggs under cold water. This leaves a yolk that is comparable to that of a poached egg. Do you want your yolk a little firmer? Boil your egg for four minutes. A soft-boiled egg is delicious on an avocado sandwich with some chili flakes on top – give it a try!
A quiche is the French version of a frittata, but in the form of a pie with a crispy crust. This gives a quiche a lot of body and texture. You can put whatever ingredients you love in your quiche, from goat cheese, walnuts and honey to salmon, leeks and cream cheese. The possibilities are endless!
This traditional Israeli dish consists of eggs cooked between tomatoes, peppers and onions. It's easier to make than you think! By adding delicious flavors such as cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, harissa and chili flakes, you have a spicy, spicy meal.
You've probably seen these easy, elegant eggs at parties. A teaspoon of lemon juice gives spicy mustard a kick and is therefore perfect for a topping. But, to be honest, you can put any topping you want on it. How delicious?!
We just called it a poached egg. Although it seems very difficult, you can easily make it yourself. A pot of boiling water will help you make perfectly formed poached eggs in just three minutes. Delicious on an English muffin or croissant with hollandaise sauce, but also very tasty on top of your grilled vegetables.
Why make it difficult when you can do it easily? Of course you can also fry a nice egg. For example, a fried egg:a crispy egg with a liquid yolk. Delicious on a toasted sandwich, don't you think?
Are you looking for an egg that will keep you full for longer? Then try making a frittata! It is an Italian egg dish in which you can use all kinds of ingredients:from tomato, cheese and meat to vegetables and potatoes. An ideal meal if you have some leftovers in your fridge!
A traditional omelette is always a good idea too! There are two types of omelets:the American, which contains meat, cheese and vegetables and is folded in half once, and the French, which is gently folded three times and sprinkled only with some fresh herbs. Which variant are you going for?
Do you want to give your egg a more creative twist? Then try making a cloud egg. It seems more complicated than it is:whisk the egg whites and use them to bake soft meringues that resemble a cloud. You then fry the yolk in the middle and you can of course also add some fresh herbs. Super fun for your kids!
Last but not least:egg salad. And no, not the egg salad you can buy in the supermarket, but homemade egg salad. Lots of fresh herbs, lemon juice and black peppercorns are a delicious addition to your homemade egg salad, where you don't have to put in nearly as much mayonnaise as there is in supermarket salads. Enjoy!
