Fried Egg Breakfast Tacos

A soft taco topped with a fried egg is perfect as the first thing you eat in the morning or the last thing you eat at night, even when those lines blur a bit. These have refried beans, melted cheddar, and creamy Greek yogurt to boot.

Directions

20 min.
1. Step

Set a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, add a bit of oil to the center, and break in egg. Season with a little salt and fry until the white is set. Remove to a warm platter and repeat with the remaining 5 eggs.

2. Step

Meanwhile, grab a medium nonstick skillet, set it over medium-low heat, and add a bit of oil and the beans. Stir until hot, then add the grated cheese and let it melt.

3. Step

Meanwhile, heat your tortillas (we do it directly over a gas flame till they’re puffed and a little blistered).

4. Step

Place an egg on top of each tortilla, spoon on the beans and melted cheese, and top each taco with a spoonful of yogurt. Serve immediately, allowing guests to sprinkle with hot sauce.

Pizza Dough Gnocchi

We got the idea for these impromptu gnocchi from our Home Cooking community discussion board. All you need is half a pound of pizza dough, a pot of boiling salted water, and a sauce (marinara is perfect). Enlist your kids to help with the shaping, then let them watch you poaching the dough and tossing it in the sauce. What to buy: Premade pizza dough is available bagged in 14- or 16-ounce portions at well-stocked groceries.

Garden Breakfast Taco

Ah, the fried egg taco, favorite of the early-morning protein seeker and the late-night fridge raider. In this healthy twist, you start by sautéing shallots and quickly wilting some arugula. Then fry your eggs, transfer to warm corn tortillas, add your favorite red salsa, and you’re done.

Chili-Cheese Nachos

There are no rules when it comes to topping nachos, just go for what you like. We like this cheese-chili–sour cream combination. Game plan: You’ll need to make the chili before you begin.

Big Brother Lemon Chive Waffles

Say you made a big batch of Big Brother slop (just go with it) —you might get tired of eating it in bowls, no matter what garnishes you’re piling on. So here’s a recipe for Lemon Chive Waffles that works in about a cup of slop (or call it oatmeal, if that’s more appealing). The waffles get a nutritional boost and a bit of texture, while remaining light and fluffy from the addition of whipped egg whites, and bright with lemon zest and juice.

Italian Style Breakfast Toast

This recipe is presented by Eggland’s Best. It’s kinda like pizza, but not. We know toast is the thing lately because it’s simple and flexible to whatever mood you’re in or whatever ingredients are in your kitchen. The Italian Style Breakfast Toast is a guilt-free way to incorporate pizza into breakfast, or eggs and toast into your lunch or dinner —however you choose to look at it. The recipe doesn’t take much, but it’s surely more interesting than plain ol’ bread and butter.

Ramen Waffle Sandwich

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, the waffles for this bacon, cheese, and fried egg breakfast sandwich are a cool transformation of ramen noodles. Just boil the noodles, drain, and incorporate them into a straight-up waffle batter (chicken flavoring packet added for a savory boost).
