9 Egg Breakfasts to Power Up Your Morning

Eggs make our lives nice and easy. They’re a great source of lean protein, with each one containing 6 grams, and only about 70 calories. There are also about a trillion different ways to prepare them—all delicious, we might add. And aside from the more complex techniques like poaching and soufflé-ing, they're incredibly simple to whip up. Scramble 'em, boil 'em, fry 'em—you've got so many options.

The only catch with some of the easier ways to prepare eggs is that they often forgo flavor in favor of simplicity. Well, not anymore. These nine recipes each take only five minutes to make, and they really deliver in the flavor department, so you can have your wonderful, versatile, high-protein egg and some exciting taste experiences too.
