Egg, Hash Brown & Bacon Breakfast Skillet

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This breakfast skillet is reminiscent of the hashbrown bowl at Waffle House. It's filling and tastes decadent, but is still a pretty low-calorie breakfast. Be sure to use a large skillet because although it may seem too big for the amount of ingredients, you need the surface area to get your potatoes crispy (overcrowding your skillet will just steam them).Ā Source: EatingWell.com, October 2019

These impressive-looking zucchini eggs in a nest are actually surprisingly easy to make. There's no frying or poaching required--instead, the eggs are baked right on top of a bed of spiralized zucchini noodles. An herbed cheese mixture adds plenty of flavor and keeps the eggs from running through the zucchini nests. Serve these eggs for a healthy breakfast or brunch.Ā Source: Eatingwell.com, June 2019

Tomato Pie

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Unlike the classic Southern version of tomato pie, which relies on mayonnaise and Cheddar cheese, this colorful pie gets its creamy texture and savory flavor from herb-speckled ricotta and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. A simple stir-together olive oil dough is patted into the tart pan--no rolling pin required. Look for heirloom tomatoes in a variety of colors and sizes for the prettiest and tastiest pie. Serve this tart with a simple green salad for brunch, lunch or light dinner.Ā Source: Eatingwell.com May 2019

Slow-Cooker Shakshuka

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Start your day with hearty, slightly spicy shakshuka full of Southwestern flavor. To avoid one large egg blob on top, be sure to make wells in the sauce using a spoon. It's important to use corn tortillas and not flour tortillas if you're going gluten free. Lightly toast the tortillas, if desired.Ā Source: Everyday Slow Cooker

Savory Dutch Baby with Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This Dutch baby calls for good-for-you (yet heavier) whole-wheat flour, but the final product still has that classic light and fluffy texture with crisp edges. If you aren't a fan of smoked salmon, you can use the base of this Dutch baby recipe and instead top it with prosciutto, or tomatoes and mozzarella for vegetarian option. Now get cooking and dig in--ideally straight from the pan, as that's how this recipe is best served.Ā Source: EatingWell.com, October 2019
