Egg on top recipes Egg on top recipes

High in protein and quick to cook, eggs should not be restricted to the “Breakfast Only” category. Whether you are looking for more flavor, a soft yolk to add a sauce-like component, or a more substantial meal, add an egg on top. Poached, fried, or baked eggs can be the perfect garnish to an otherwise dull dish.
