Mini Chile Relleno Casseroles

Everyone gets an individual portion with this vegetarian, Tex-Mex mini casserole. A normal-size casserole like this would take close to an hour to bake—these are ready in half the time. Heatproof ramekins are a cook's best friend—we use them all the time to hold ingredients while cooking. You can buy them at most grocery stores.

Our healthy egg recipes make a perfectly easy meal.

Eggs are practically synonymous with Easter—but these versatile, protein-packed staples cook up into a perfect meal any time of year.

Eating eggs might give your meal more staying power too. A recent study found that when people ate a scrambled-egg-and-toast breakfast, they felt more satisfied—and ate less at lunch—than when they ate a bagel (that supplied the same number of calories) another day. The combination of high protein and moderate fat in eggs might make them especially filling, say experts. Even if you’re watching your cholesterol, a daily egg can likely fit into your eating plans.

Explore our healthy egg recipes for delicious ways to put eggs on the menu at any meal. We gather inspiration from all corners of the globe: we pair eggs with chiles in Mexican-style Mini Chile Relleno Casseroles, beat them into a potato omelet with Spanish Tortilla, and spread egg salad on bread for a Scandinavian Smørgastarta.
