Eggs Three Easy Way

As a mom, I love when my boys develop a taste for foods that are easy, versatile, and can be made ahead of time. Right now, our kids are really into eggs, so I wanted to share our family’s top three ways to make them. These egg dishes are easy, quick, and delicious, so they’re perfect for any parent to try out with their kids.

Soft Boiled Eggs

For us, 6 minutes creates the perfect soft boiled eggs.

  • 5 minutes: liquid yolk with soft, whites not fully set

  • 6 minutes: liquid yolk with fully set whites

  • 7 minutes: jammy yolk with outer edges set

  • 8 minutes: half set yolk

I love soft boiled eggs because you can prepare a big batch over the weekend and have them as a quick breakfast throughout the week.

Muffin Tin Baked Eggs

My favorite recipes are the ones that don’t require me to stand over the stove the entire time. I can just pop these into the oven and wait for them to be ready. Add bread, crack over an egg, then bake for 10-15 minutes at 350°F, until set.

Skillet Egg Casserole

This is definitely one of my favorites because it can be switched up depending on what you’re craving that day or what you have on hand. Feel free to utilize your own go-to ingredients in this one. I like using any leftover deli meat or veggies from the week. Mix all your favorite ingredients and put into a cast-iron skillet. Depending on items you add to your casserole, bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes. Make sure your eggs are not runny in the center before removing your skillet from the oven. Let your casserole sit for 10 minutes and then enjoy with your favorite piece of toast or side salad.
