They call it "the incredible, edible egg" for a reason.

Eggs are healthy, cheap, and quick-cooking. They can be prepared in any number of ways: poached, scrambled, fried, frittata-ed, or any combination of the above. They can serve as a vehicle for any cuisine choice, any vegetable or meat, any whim or desire you, or your hungry companions, may have. Eggy breakfasts, step aside: eggy dinners are just what we need.

9 Eggy Dinners

Quinoa And Kale Crustless Quiche(01 of09)

Kale and quinoa are a match made in heaven, and it turns out they're even better when you throw some eggs and cheese into the mix. - Amanda & MerrillGet the recipePhoto: Joseph De Leo

Petite Pea Omelet With Mint And Mascarpone(02 of09)

The combination of the mascarpone and egg yolks makes for a wonderfully rich omelet. Cheery in color and just a bit decadent, it would make a terrific Easter brunch. - Amanda & MerrillGet the recipePhoto: James Ransom

Not Exactly Grandma's Migas(03 of09)

Migas that start with chunky vegetables can easily end up dry and disheveled. Not these: the smooth sauce soaks into every shred of tortilla, making an extra silky base for the scrambled eggs. - Amanda & MerrillGet the recipePhoto: James Ransom

(04 of09)

I just love this dish -- the yolks coat the pasta and the whites provide little puffs of yumminess throughout this peppery, garlicky dish. - Rhonda35Get the recipePhoto: Sarah Shatz

Oyako Don(05 of09)

It's a Japanese chicken 'n egg recipe, called "parent and child" (OYAKO). I learned it from my husband who is Japanese. - FrancescaGet the recipePhoto: Sarah Shatz

Moroccan Merguez Ragout With Poached Eggs(06 of09)

We ate this for lunch and agreed it was the perfect meal for the middle of the day -- or the beginning of the day, or the end of the day. - Amanda & MerrillGet the recipePhoto: Sarah Shatz

Leek, Lemon And Feta Quiche(07 of09)

We love the delicate flavor of leeks, and crisp, airy puff pastry is a nice change from a more traditional short crust; lemon zest and ouzo lend just the right mix of lift and fragrance. - Amanda & MerrillGet the recipePhoto: Sarah Shatz

Squash Blossom and Garlic Frittata(08 of09)

Over the years I've been training myself to make thinner frittatas with fewer ingredients and to let them cool to room temperature, like Italians do. Because everything they do seems better than what we do. - AmandaGet the recipePhoto: Jennifer Causey

Polenta With Wilted Escarole And Fried Eggs(09 of09)

The textures of the smooth polenta, the still vaguely crunchy escarole and the crispy egg work well together, and you get variety up until the last bite. - MerrillGet the recipePhoto: Sarah Shatz
