Healthy Recipes Mealtimes Dinner Healthy Egg Dishes for Dinner 18 Easy Recipes That Feature Eggs for Dinner By Dillon Evans Dillon Evans Dillon Evans fell in love with cooking at a very young age.

These moments became catalysts for his interest in cooking and baking.

These recipes use eggs in casseroles, pasta dishes, soups and more—and each dish is a certified dinner winner in three steps or less. Make your evening meal feel like the coziest wake up call with our easy Spinach, Feta & Artichoke Tater Tot Casserole. Or, use crusty bread to soak up the yolks of our popular Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas & Spinach. 01 of 18 Spinach, Feta & Artichoke Tater Tot Casserole Photographer: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lydia Purcell This egg-based dinner casserole is assembled and baked in a single baking dish, making prep (and cleanup!) a breeze. Potato tots nestled on top add a crispy, golden crust. Be sure to squeeze as much moisture as you can from the frozen artichoke hearts and spinach to prevent the casserole from becoming soggy. If you can’t find frozen artichoke hearts, you can use canned—just make sure to rinse them well to remove any excess salty brine. View Recipe 02 of 18 Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas & Spinach Simmer eggs in a rich tomatoey cream sauce studded with chickpeas and silky spinach for a super-fast vegetarian dinner. Serve with a piece of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Be sure to use heavy cream; a lower-fat option might curdle when mixed with acidic tomatoes.

View Recipe 04 of 18 Green Shakshuka with Spinach, Chard & Feta The inspiration for this green shakshuka recipe comes from HaBasta, a popular restaurant on the edge of Carmel Market in Tel Aviv, where the shakshuka is packed with green chard and spinach and a little hot pepper provides just a touch of spice. Serve with pita or crusty bread to sop up the sauce for a quick dinner or for brunch. View Recipe 05 of 18 Spinach-Artichoke Egg in a Bagel Hole Photographer: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lydia Pursell This riff on egg-in-a-hole, where a hole is cut into a slice of bread to hold and cook an egg, uses a bagel instead—so the hole’s already built in. The spinach-and-artichoke dip underneath the egg helps hold it in place and adds a creamy element to this easy breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!). View Recipe 06 of 18 Sesame Instant Ramen Noodles with Broccoli & Soft-Boiled Egg Jazz up basic ramen noodles with toasted sesame oil, quick-cooked broccoli and a jammy soft-boiled egg. To cut back on sodium, look for ramen varieties with less than 600 mg sodium per serving or use less of the seasoning packet. View Recipe 07 of 18 15-Minute Eggs in Vodka Sauce Photographer Victor Protasio, Food Stylist Amanda Stanfield, Prop Stylist Josh Hoggle Drawing inspiration from the classic Italian recipe Uova al Purgatorio (Eggs in Purgatory), this easy one-pot meal melds tangy tomato sauce with perfectly poached eggs, ideal for sopping up with crispy toasted bread. We like to add a dash of heavy cream to give the sauce some added richness, but you can leave it out if you prefer. A garnish of chopped fresh basil or parsley, if you have it on hand, would be a welcome addition. View Recipe 08 of 18 Stuffed Baked Potatoes with Pesto & Eggs Top baked potatoes with fried eggs, pesto, spinach and bacon for a loaded baked potato that's perfect for an easy dinner or hearty brunch. Omit the bacon for a vegetarian version that's just as delicious. View Recipe 09 of 18 Shrimp & Egg Fried Rice This healthy egg, vegetable and shrimp fried rice comes together in about 30 minutes for a delicious dinner you can make any day of the week. Fried rice is traditionally made with leftover rice cooked a day ahead; this recipe simplifies the process by cooking the rice together with the rest of the meal. View Recipe 10 of 18 Eggs in Purgatory Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle Eggs in Purgatory, an Italian favorite, involves gently cooking eggs in tomato sauce (with some regional variations) and can fit neatly into breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our rendition features anchovies for an infusion of savory flavor, and baby spinach to pack in extra veggies. Cracking the eggs in a bowl before you slide them into the pan will ensure that you don’t get unwanted shells in the dish and helps keep the yolks from breaking so they remain soft and runny when they blend with the sauce. View Recipe 11 of 18 Spinach & Feta Scrambled Egg Pitas This meatless dinner comes together in only 15 minutes, thanks to the convenience of frozen chopped spinach and crumbled feta. We've added a flavorful burst of sun-dried tomato tapenade to spread over the whole-wheat pita before nestling the scrambled eggs inside. If you can't find it, basil pesto or sun-dried tomato pesto also work well. View Recipe 12 of 18 Potato Hash with Sausage & Fried Egg Leftover cooked potatoes and peppers form the base of this quick weeknight meal for one. Alternatively, use frozen cubed hash browns and and bell pepper-onion stir-fry mix. View Recipe 13 of 18 Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup with Soft-Boiled Eggs Transform canned chicken noodle soup by adding fresh ginger, crunchy vegetables, herbs and a jammy soft-boiled egg. Look for a low-sodium soup that has 450 mg sodium or less per serving. View Recipe 14 of 18 White Beans & Eggs with Pancetta & Fennel Pancetta (cured pork belly) is similar in taste and texture to bacon (which is cured and smoked pork belly). You can find it near the bacon at many grocery stores. View Recipe 15 of 18 Crispy Potatoes with Green Beans & Eggs This is a one-skillet meal, reminiscent of diner fare at roadside restaurants across the U.S. It can be made with either leftover or raw potatoes. Even while making dinner in a hurry, don't rush this dish: you want to cook the potato cubes until they are crispy outside but still creamy inside. View Recipe 16 of 18 Sweet Potato Pad Thai Sweet potato "noodles" (spiralized sweet potatoes) are a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to starchy rice or wheat noodles. Look for them in the produce department of your supermarket. If you have a spiralizer, you can certainly make your own "swoodles" (start with 2 medium sweet potatoes). View Recipe 17 of 18 Black Beans & Corn with Poached Eggs This sweet and spicy black bean and corn recipe features queso fresco, a Mexican cheese that is salty, crumbly, and perfectly meltable. View Recipe 18 of 18 Quick Pastrami Hash & Eggs When we're in a hurry, we love to have breakfast for dinner. Precooked diced potatoes--available in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets--help make this pastrami hash ultra-fast. (If you have leftover cooked potatoes, use about 3 cups diced cooked potatoes instead.) Serve with rye toast and sautéed spinach. View Recipe Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
