By transferring the ramekins from the bottom baking sheet to the middle rack during the last few minutes of cooking time, you'll give the frittatas a crispy golden brown layer of cheese on top. Give them a restaurant finish by topping them with mixed baby greens tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. No ramekins on hand? This recipe can also be adapted for a large frittata – simply pour the egg mixture into a 13x9 baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes longer. 21 of 33 Easy Chicken Fried Rice Photo: Iain Bagwell Recipe: Easy Chicken Fried Rice In the amount of time it takes for takeout to be delivered to your door, our homemade Chicken Fried Rice will be on the table and ready to eat. 22 of 33 Scrambled Egg and Crêpe Casserole Photo: Iain Bagwell Recipe: Scrambled Egg and Crêpe Casserole Homemade crêpes, baked ham, and cheese sauce join forces for this twist on classic Gentleman's Casserole. Once you master the savory herb crêpe, you'll have tons of garnish options. Don't let the thin pancake's reputation scare you – crêpes don't take chef-level skills. Choose a plain wheat flower, and do not try to flip it as you would a pancake. Simply tilt the pan in all directions after pouring the batter. This blend of breakfast basics – scrambled eggs, breakfast ham, green onions, and cheese sauce – is a new take on traditional flavor. If you have leftover crêpes, wrap them around smoked salmon, vegetables, and cream cheese for another breakfast option for guests.

It's a mixture of eggs and cheese baked in a baking dish, with cubed bread coated in butter serving as a base.

A mixture of Parmesan cheese and Swiss cheese pack a sharp punch, and dry white wine and chicken broth create an added layer of savory flavor. Let Creamy Egg Strata be the star of your next brunch. Made with Swiss and Parmesan cheese, this creamy egg dish is worth waking up for. Just make sure you chill it for 8 to 24 hours so the bread has a chance to soak up the flavors. 27 of 33 Zucchini-Onion Frittata Southern Living Recipe: Zucchini-Onion Frittata Whip up this easy zucchini dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 28 of 33 Savory Ham-and-Swiss Breakfast Pie Southern Living Recipe: Savory Ham-and-Swiss Breakfast Pie A homemade crust made from grits makes this memorable pie a one-of-a-kind dish that your family will request over and over again.
