Some of our favorites to use here are pasta carbonara, pesto or a simple marinara.

She says, "They are quick to put together with pantry staples, and everyone seems to love them." They're delicious made with any flavor of jam, as well as the raspberry preserves called for here.

The Asian flavors that fill this version offer a real change of pace. Cook the eggs on top of the stove or in the oven, but be sure to use moderate heat so they don't turn rubbery.
