Which came first the chicken or the egg? Well, since we don’t normally eat chicken for breakfast it has to be the egg. Eggs are a wonderful breakfast food. They are easy to fix and very versatile. Fried, scrambled, poached and even boiled, eggs are a great source of protein and a great way to start your day.

Boiled eggs are easy to make ahead and store. For a quick and easy breakfast on the run, slice a couple of boiled eggs and place on a slice of toast. Top it with some mayonnaise and another slice of toast and you have a great breakfast sandwich. It was easy to fix and healthy for you.

Try scrambling an egg and adding various ingredients you have around the kitchen. Cheese, breakfast meat, onions and green peppers can be added to scrambled eggs. Place the mixture between bread slices to make a breakfast omelet sandwich.

Add some chilies, salsa or even hot sauce to your scrambled eggs and you have added a whole new dimension to your breakfast. Use a tortilla instead of bread and you now have a great burrito for breakfast.

Poached eggs are easy to make with an egg poacher, but even without one you can improvise and adapt a skillet or saucepan for that use. In a pan, place about an inch of water, heat the water, and then crack the egg into the water. Cook in a covered pan. The yolk will become solid. Place poached eggs between 2 slices of bread and add a slice of cheese. This breakfast sandwich is a hit with young and old.

Potatoes are a great favorite for breakfast. Hash browns and American fries are well known in most restaurants that feature a breakfast menu. Leftover baked potatoes are easy to use in breakfast recipes. Slice the potato and lightly fry in just a little oil. Add a couple of whipped eggs, some mushrooms, onions and cheese and cook until done. What a treat for kids and adults.

Eggs have long since been a main stream for our breakfast table. Fried, scrambled, hard boiled or poached they are sure to make a hit with any family.
