Figuring out meals that will satisfy all eaters at the table can be tricky. But if there’s one food that can transcend fussy phases and even time of day, it’s the egg. If you have a carton of eggs in your fridge, then you have a world of possibilities open to you for breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. 

There are so many reliable preparations for eggs, like scrambled (we love to eat them in corn tortillas with lots of salsa in my house) and fried, but those only scratch the surface of what this protein-packed ingredient can do. Here are 10 favorite egg recipes for families so you can get cracking!

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a crowd-pleaser, and for good reason. There's something so satisying about running some crusty sourdough bread through the flavorful tomato sauce and eggs. Just make sure the eggs are fully cooked before serving to kids!

Scallion Fried Eggs

Frying eggs in sliced scallions is a simple flavor upgrade that has big payoff for very little extra work. Just like the shahshuka above, be sure to serve those eggs over-hard to avoid any runny yolks for little folks!
