I make eggs more than just about anything else because they’re easy, filling, and usually the fastest way for me to get a meal together. Sometimes I’m just making something basic like fried eggs or scrambled eggs, and other times I want something like shakshuka, a frittata, or a quiche if I want it to feel a little less thrown together.
I like having eggs around because they can go so many different ways depending on what I have in the fridge and how much effort I want to put in. So if you cook eggs a lot, too, and just want some new ideas, this is a good place to start.

Tips for Cooking with Eggs
- Use lower heat than feels necessary.
This is probably my biggest egg rule. Eggs go from soft to dry really fast, and most of the time, the heat is just too high. I’d rather wait an extra minute than end up with rubbery scrambled eggs or browned fried eggs when that’s not what I was going for. - Take them off the heat a little sooner than you think.
Eggs keep cooking from the residual heat, especially scrambled eggs, frittatas, and baked egg dishes. I usually pull them when they look almost done, not fully done, because they finish on their own and stay a lot softer that way. - Use a good nonstick pan if you can.
I know people love to say you can cook eggs in anything, but I think eggs are one of those foods that are just easier in a nonstick pan. It makes fried eggs, omelettes, and scrambled eggs way less annoying, especially on busy mornings when I don’t feel like scraping a pan afterward. - Crack eggs on a flat surface, not the edge of a bowl.
I ignored this tip for a long time, but it really does help. You’re less likely to push shell pieces into the egg, and it usually gives you a cleaner crack. - Do not overwork scrambled eggs.
I usually whisk just enough to break everything up and combine it. I don’t try to beat a ton of air into them. For me, overthinking scrambled eggs usually makes them worse, not better. - For hard-boiled eggs, use an ice bath if you want easier peeling.
This one makes a real difference. As soon as they’re done, I move them to ice water. It helps stop the cooking and usually makes the shells come off a lot easier, which matters if you’re making deviled eggs or anything where you actually want them to look nice. You can read all my tips on how to peel eggs. - Season eggs well, but keep it simple.
Eggs need salt. That sounds obvious, but underseasoned eggs are so disappointing. I usually keep it basic with salt, pepper, and maybe herbs or cheese if the recipe calls for it. They don’t need a whole lot, but they do need enough to not taste flat. - Add fillings carefully in omelettes and egg bakes.
I think it’s really easy to ruin egg recipes by trying to cram too much into them. Too many vegetables or too much cheese can make everything watery or heavy. I’d rather keep the mix-ins balanced so the eggs still feel like the main part of the dish.
