Some nights the best dinner recipe is the easiest dinner recipe, so we’re sharing our tastiest and best egg recipes for dinner.
We currently have leftover pancakes in the fridge from brunch over the weekend. Tonight’s dinner? 1000% it will be pancakes and eggs, of course.
During the week I can admit that sometimes I throw in the towel when it comes to cooking dinner, which is why I love easy, flavorful egg recipes for dinner.
I like to know that I’m serving something that is filling and has some protein, without relying on processed food, and eggs easily check those boxes for me.
From the perfect scrambled eggs to breakfast sandwiches made every which way, there is no shortage of egg dishes that make an entirely satisfying dinner.
Here are 13 such delicious and filling options – my nominees for the very best egg recipes for dinner that I put forth for your culinary consideration.
Broccoli Cheddar Zoodle Bake Recipe
Think of this broccoli cheddar zoodle bake as a frittata or crustless quiche, only with more veggies and more flavor. This recipe uses a spiralizer to make noodles from zucchini then you throw in a bunch of other vegetables, and you’ve got a tasty, healthy meal! Kale, broccoli, a bit of cheddar cheese and egg whites ultimately create one insanely delicious dinner that also makes a great lunch.

Cheesy Grits Recipe
Cheesy grits with eggs and spinach aren’t just for breakfast anymore – take my word for it! Cooked until creamy and smothered in cheese, I love grits with a couple of runny eggs on top served for dinner in much the same way you might eat cheesy grits with plump grilled cheese on top. Fried eggs or poached eggs are equally as good here so make them the way you love them best!
