Tips for Egg-cellent Supper Success:
- Fresh eggs are best: Fresh eggs will hold their shape better and have a richer flavor.
- Don't overcook: Overcooked eggs will be dry and rubbery. Cook until just set.
- Season generously: Salt and pepper are essential, but don't be afraid to experiment with other spices and herbs.
- Get creative with toppings: Add avocado, hot sauce, salsa, or your favorite condiments to personalize your egg dish.
These recipes are just a starting point. Get creative and experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find your perfect egg supper! Remember to adjust the quantities based on your needs and preferences. Enjoy!
