24 of the Best Breakfast Egg Recipes

I’ll happily eat eggs for any and all meals but rarely do I have a breakfast without them. So I’ve rounded up 24 of the Best Breakfast Egg Recipes to give us all a little breakfast recipe inspiration.

You might have noticed from my entire set of Brunch Feast menu collections that I’m a little obsessed with the first meal of the day. And more often that not, that breakfast or brunch includes eggs. Honestly I love them. I can’t get enough of them.

So I wanted to share some of the recipes from both Feast Glorious Feast and other top food blogger so we all have a little more inspiration. There is absolutely nothing wrong with some simple poached eggs on toast but sometimes its nice to be a little extra!

I’ve included some simple classics too, as well as some options with bacon/ham/sausage, some spicy numbers for a little kick, a few veggie options and even some egg based pancakes and waffles. Plus I couldn’t resist including some fruit curd recipes. Because curd on toast for breakfast is an absolute delight!

In 12 minutes you can make a savoury souffle'd treat to eat on its own or dressed up as a more hearty meal. I especially love it topped with bacon and maple syrup!

Make it Meaty – Bacon & Breakfast Eggs (ish)

Cured pork products make the most amazing bed fellow for eggs. The savoury saltiness of meat, pairs perfectly with a soft, rich and yielding egg. Here are a few different options including prosciutto, chorizo, ham and bacon. If you’ll excuse me, I just need to pop off and make a sandwich…

Chorizo & Egg on Sourdough – Curly’s Cooking

Incredibly simple, I almost feel cheeky to call this Chorizo & Egg on Sourdough a recipe! But it is delicious everyone needs it in their life!

Egg & Bacon Club Sandwich Recipe (“Triple Decker”)

This Egg & Bacon Club Sandwich is known as a “Triple Decker” in my house or a “Trip Deck” for short! Its what my family consider the ultimate breakfast sandwich. Its easy to see why with three layers of soft white bread encasing bacon and a runny fried egg. Ideally slathered with a good northern layer of butter, its a perfect simple breakfast or weekend brunch.

Huevos Rancheros with Smashed Avocado – Tin & Thyme

My take on Huevos Rancheros on toast along with smashed avocado. It’s just the right side of spicy and makes for a perfect brunch pick-me-up.

Pancakes & Waffles (Made with Eggs!)

Whilst a tiny bit tenuous in an egg roundup, I couldn’t not include a few of my favourite pancake and waffle recipes. All of them rely on egg for their texture, especially my savoury offering of Sweet Potato Pancakes where the egg white is whipped to create the rise and fluffy texture. You can even pop and egg on top if you like!

How to Make Pancakes

My How to Make Pancakes guide provides you with step-by-step instructions to make proper English pancakes. They're the kind that most people only make on Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday. But I'm a firm believer that "proper pancakes" are a year round treat!

Sweet Potato Pancakes with Sweetcorn & Chilli Recipe

My Sweet Potato Pancakes with Sweetcorn & Chilli are the perfect upgrade to a weekend breakfast or brunch. They’re a soft and fluffy excuse to add a little extra veg to proceedings and they make a great combo with avocado and bacon too. Or maybe just some syrup!

Scotch Pancakes (Drop Scones) Recipe

Scotch Pancakes or ‘Drop Scones’ are seriously overlooked and chronically underestimated. Denser than their American cousins and smaller and thicker than their British and European equivalents, they’re as good doused in maple syrup as they are slathered in salty butter and eaten like toast.

Spelt Waffles with Rose Raspberry Sauce – Tin & Thyme

Crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Lightly flavoured with lemon and cardamom, these delicious waffles are further enhanced by a good drizzle of rose raspberry sauce.

Eggs on Toast? – Fruit Curds

All fruit curds use eggs. So spread some curd on toast and you have eggs on toast right? Anyway I love a good curd, much more so than jam or marmalade so I had to include some of my favourites.

Seville Orange Curd – Farmersgirl Kitchen

Made with seasonal bitter Seville Oranges. They combine brilliantly with butter, eggs, and sugar to make a sweet, creamy and tangy alternative to marmalade.

Easy Blackberry Curd, simple to make without using a double boiler or endless stirring, this is the recipe you need for tea time treats and more!

A Note about Vegan Eggs

I do try to include options for all diets in Feasts, recipe posts and roundups. But vegan egg recipes are a bit beyond my ken. For cooking, baking and scrambles, there are great liquid egg substitutes now available in supermarkets. Scrambled tofu is another alternative but unfortunately, science hasn’t quite come up with a solution for vegan poached eggs. Sorry.

Egg Feasts

All of my Brunch Feast Collections include eggs.

Don’t miss my Big Brunch Feast which includes my prep-ahead Ham & Cheese Breakfast Casserole, my Alternative Brunch Feast which includes Asparagus with Poached Eggs on Soda Bread or my Vegetarian Brunch Feast which includes my Sweet Potato Pancakes with Roasted Tomatoes and Avocado.

Don’t forget to have a look at my smaller, Everyday Brunch Feasts too.
