Did you know: Eggs are actually among the healthiest foods you can choose to eat. They are rich in high-quality protein, healthy fats, and contain many essential vitamins and minerals. Eggs also feature unique properties that make them egg-ceptionally weight loss friendly. So in short, you should EAT EGGS! But do you need some fresh ideas on the best way to consume eggs? Look no further.
My Favorite Way To Eat Eggs
My favorite way to eat eggs is in this delicious Biscuit Egg Bake. It’s my go-to recipe when I need to bring a breakfast item to a potluck brunch. And I also make it for my church from time to time to serve during our fellowship time between Sunday School and church.
Of course, French Toast Bake also uses a large number of eggs and is another big favorite of my entire family. And if the chickens have been overly productive, you can always add a couple extra eggs into the mix.
If I’m in a hurry, a classic scrambled eggs with peppers and onions and topped with cheese is my go to. But do you struggle with how to use hard boiled eggs? If so, I’ve compiled a huge list of ideas for you!

Information About Eggs:
One large egg contains-
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): 9% of the RDA
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 15% of the RDA
- Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 7% of the RDA
- Selenium: 22% of the RDA
- The incredible edible egg also contain small amounts of almost every vitamin and mineral required by the human body! This includes calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, vitamin E, folate and many more.
Final Note:
Did you know that almost all the nutrients are contained in the yolk? The egg white contains only protein. So make sure to eat the whole egg to reap all the benefits of this amazing food.
So tell me, what’s your favorite way to eat an egg?
I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.
