A great source of protein and perfect any time of the day, this versatile ingredient makes for delicious meals and these egg dinner recipes prove just that!

Don’t you just hate those darn seasonal ingredients? They come into your life to give you a good time and before you know it, they’re gone when the weather changes.

Well, as much as I take advantage of them whenever those seasonal ingredients are bountiful, I enjoy the ones that rarely go out much better and that includes my favorite pantry staple, the egg.

I love me some hard-boiled eggs on toast, in a breakfast burrito, french toast, or all kinds of pancakes and omelets for a healthy breakfast, but they can be used to create a nutritious meal that would revive a “beat up” dinner table.

They’re readily available and most recipes involving them are easy to pull together, making dinner egg meals a good choice to consider when you want something easy, high in protein and tasty before bed on busy weeknights!

I’ve prepared my favourite egg dinner recipes for you, and organised them by speed as well.
