Eggs are a versatile ingredient that you can quickly whip into a delectable dish. Packed with protein and other nutrients, this ingredient can be enjoyed anytime, from breakfast to dinner. Plus, be it kids or adults, everyone loves eggs in some form or the other.
However, having the same dishes, such as scrambled, sunny-side up, omelet, etc., over and over again can sometimes get boring. That is why, mommies, here are some new and exciting egg dishes your family will absolutely love. They are easy to make and taste delicious.
1. Egg Muffins
They are a thing; if you haven’t already, try them! Egg muffins are easy to make and can be customized to everyone’s liking. However, the best part is that you can make the egg muffins and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, making a perfect breakfast or lunch box snack for your kids on busy or lazy days.
Mix in sausage, cheese, dry ground mustard, garlic powder, onion, tomato, or any of your kid’s favorite toppings. Make individual portions for easy grab-on-the-go meal options, and you can already imagine your littles munching on these as they rush to catch their school bus.
2. Make-Ahead Breakfast Burrito
As the name suggests, you can make the cheesy egg-based filling beforehand. Wrap the filling into burritos with your favorite salsa and hand it to your kids whenever their tummy growls. You can freeze the foil-wrapped burritos for up to 3 weeks. The best part is the burrito doesn’t get soggy and lose its structure when re-heated in a microwave.
3. Egg Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
The name might seem complicated, but the dish is not. This egg dish can be assembled at night, refrigerated, and, the following day, baked in the oven for a no-fuss breakfast.

You can’t go wrong with this item, which can also be frozen after baking for later consumption.
4. Sheet Pan Breakfast Fajitas
Another egg dish that will be a crowd-pleaser and can be made for any meal of the day is sheet pan fajitas. This one-pan egg dish will come together in 30 minutes and is loaded with sweet potato, peppers, onion, cheese, and a few spices to make it a delectable dish.
