Breakfast Egg Cups with Parsley Gremolata and Mushrooms

These surprisingly elegant, savory herb-topped eggs bake up in a muffin pan, so it’s easy to make breakfast or brunch for a few days—or for more than a few people. Serve any leftover breakfast egg cups sandwiched between buttered, toasted English muffins or brioche slices. Related: More Egg Breakfast Recipes

Boursin Omelet

This beautifully basic omelet is the sleeper hit of chef Michael Tusk’s French-inflected bar à vin menu at Verjus in San Francisco. An homage to his love of dairy, spreadable garlic-herb cheese melts richly into the creamy center of the tender eggs. While it makes for a delicious and satisfying breakfast, this omelet is best with some crusty baguette, a crisp salad, and a glass of Chardonnay.

Chilaquiles Rojos with Fried Eggs and Cotija

Charring the tomato and onion before adding them to the red chile sauce is a quick way to create rich, slow-cooked flavor. Thick-cut fresh tortilla chips soak up the sauce and runny egg yolks without getting soggy.

Scrambled Eggs with Cumin and Fragrant Herbs (Ande Ki Bhurji)

A traditional Indian scrambled egg dish, ande ki bhurji includes an almost equal amount of fresh yellow onion to eggs. As the beaten eggs cook (until they are fully set but not browned), the onion sweetens and mellows. Topped with toasted cumin seeds, cilantro, and fresh green chiles, this meal is fragrant and savory, with a distinct vegetal crunch.

The Best Fried Eggs Are Made with Water

For perfectly cooked, amazingly tender fried eggs every time, just add water.

Poached Scrambled Eggs with Herb Oil and Trout Roe

Inspired by Daniel Patterson’s technique for poaching scrambled eggs, these fluffy, souffle-like eggs are delicate and the perfect foundation for briny roe and herbs. Don’t skimp on straining time; it’s necessary to remove all of the water from the cooked eggs.

Soft Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Truffles

Light and fluffy, these eggs are gently seasoned and generously perfumed by fresh black truffles. For the perfect creamy, tender bite, pull the eggs off of the heat before they set; they will continue to cook after they leave the stove.

Shortcut Shakshuka for Two

“Shakshuka is a dish made from eggs poached in a tomato-onion sauce. I use ready-to-go marinara for a quick, flavorful shortcut. Spinach adds fiber and bulks up the salty sauce.” For a green twist on this dish, as featured on Mad Genius LIVE, substitute green salsa or enchilada sauce for the marinara sauce, and garnish with cilantro and avocado slices.

Fried Egg Arepas 

Chef Andrew Zimmern uses the twice-fried method for traditional Colombian arepas. The first fry turns the masarepa dough into tender corn cakes. Once stuffed, a second fry gets the sandwiches extra crispy while cooking the egg until just set. Slideshow: More Fried Egg Recipes
