15 Healthy Breakfast Recipes with Eggs

These recipes will make your mornings a little less hectic and a lot more nutritious!

This list of healthy egg breakfast recipes is sure to inspire you to enjoy eggs in many different ways. Packed with protein and essential nutrients, eggs have the potential to leave you satisfied and energized so that you can tackle your to-do list!

Breakfast is undoubtedly my favorite meal of the day. I confess, I go to bed each night looking forward to the breakfast and coffee I get to enjoy the next morning. Surely I’m not alone?? Anyways. Let’s chat a little bit about why eggs are so nutritious (and delicious)!

Eggs Benedict BLT with Avocado Hollandaise, a hearty comforting breakfast recipe that's packed with nutrition thanks to avocados.

Nutritional value of eggs?

Unlike many breakfast food items that contain added sugar and processed carbohydrates, eggs have one simple ingredient – eggs! They allow you to have a well rounded breakfast without leaving you groggy and bloated. Cheers to more breakfast recipes with eggs!

Did you know that just one egg has 6 grams of high quality protein?! This is good news folks. The high quality protein found in eggs helps sustain mental and physical energy throughout your day!

Eggs naturally have all 9 essential amino acids as well as choline, an essential nutrient that stimulates normal cell activity, liver function and nutrient transportation throughout the body. See, I told you. Incredibly nutritious!

How much cholesterol in an egg?

Studies conducted from Boston University School of medicine provide support that there is no link between dietary cholesterol intake and cardio metabolic outcomes.

Research has also discovered that eggs contain lower amounts of cholesterol than previously recorded. The USDA discovered that the average amount of cholesterol found in one large egg is down 14%, from 215mg to 185mg.

If you shy away from eggs for health reasons, consider chatting with your healthcare professional about the possibility of introducing or re-introducing eggs into your diet!

How many eggs should you eat at breakfast?

Is it okay to eat eggs every day? This is a personal question, as for some people they can eat eat eggs every day while others should limit their intake to a few times a week. While many studies show there is not a direct link between dietary cholesterol and total cholesterol in the blood for most people, there could be a small percentage of the people that have to watch how much saturated fat is in their food as that could elevate cholesterol levels for some.

The Dietary Guidelines still recommends limiting cholesterol to 300mg per day and one egg contains 185mg cholesterol.

If you’re going to eggs for breakfast, 2 eggs provides 12 grams of protein but to up protein to around 25-30 grams you can pair 1-2 whole eggs with egg whites or whole grains, dairy or higher protein veggies.

Egg nutrition facts? (per egg)

  • 70 calories

  • 6 grams protein

  • 250 mg choline

  • 0 grams sugar

  • 0 grams carbohydrates

  • 186 mg cholesterol

Seems to me that eggs are one of the healthiest choices you can make at breakfast time. High quality protein, no sugar, no carbs, essential amino acids…. Count me in for any of these breakfast recipes with eggs!
