It's kind of crazy, but
I never really starting cooking eggs until about five years ago. In all my
years growing up, I would avoid them. I was ok with hard-boiled eggs and
deviled eggs, but if I was going to eat them scrambled, someone else was going
to have to make them, and there had better be a lot of other stuff scrambled in
with them. When I went out for breakfast or brunch, I would usually order one
of the sweet options - waffles, french toast or pancakes.
That all changed early
on in my relationship, when my boyfriend started making me his favorite
scramble - eggs, sausage, polenta and Parmesan cheese. It wasn't
fancy, but it was made with love, and soon I found my view on eggs changing. So
much so in fact, that I began to bookmark recipes and make them myself.
Here are a few that I've
made or am anxious to try...

| Croque Madame French Toast Cups |
A middle
ground of sorts, this Croque Madam combines my old favorite, french toast, with
salty ham, Gruyère and a baked egg. How can
that not be good?
 |
| Caprese Eggs Benedict |
In general, I'm a big
fan of eggs benedict, and to this day, it's the only egg dish I'll order with
any regularity at a restaurant. This caprese version, with basil and tomato,
looks delicious.

| Shakshuka (Eggs Poached in Spicy Tomato Sauce) |
I'm intrigued by the
idea of poaching eggs in tomato sauce, and am dying to try this dish. The flavors sound amazing.
 |
| The Spanglish Sandwich |
Created by Thomas
Keller, this recipe was developed specifically for Adam Sandler in the movie
Spanglish. It's like a BLT with egg and cheese. Yummy!
 |
| Avocado Toast with Poached Egg |
I've posted before about
my love for avocado toast, but this version takes it to a
whole new level with the addition of cilantro and a poached egg.
What's your relationship
with eggs like? Are you a longtime lover? Or, are you like me, still in the
honeymoon phase with this delightful protein?
