50 egg-cellent breakfast recipes from fried eggs to frittatas

Through much of 2024 and into 2025, eggs became synonymous with inflation. Prices climbed steadily, breaking new records in the process, with much of the blame going to the avian flu crisis. But that outbreak has quieted as of July 2025, and egg prices have finally fallen.

The timing couldn't be better. While Americans have long loved their eggs, consuming about 284 eggs per person on average in 2024, new studies are unlocking even more health benefits to one of our favorite foods. Long considered a dependable source of protein and omega-3 fats, eggs could also lower your Alzheimer's risk, according to recent research. And those worried about the potential drawbacks should take note—a July 2025 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eggs might actually reduce bad cholesterol levels as part of an overall diet low in saturated fat.

While they can be eaten for any meal, or as a snack, eggs remain most popular as a breakfast food. After all, nothing starts your day off quite like a plate of steaming scrambled eggs. But if scrambled eggs just aren't doing it for you anymore, then have no fear—Stacker compiled a list of breakfast egg recipes from Allrecipes. From deluxe omelets to classic casseroles, these recipes will breathe new life into everyone's favorite breakfast staple.
