The popularity of breakfast foods is a good reason to keep dependable starters, such as eggs, bread and other staples, on hand. But why reserve them only for morning meals? Planning breakfast for dinner is a good way to serve up simple, satisfying evening meals without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
What Are Some Easy Egg Recipes for MyWW?
The two recipes we are going to explore are a Tomato Strata Florentine and Cloud Eggs. These two dishes are easy to prepare and aren't necessarily commonly made. There are also several other egg recipes for Weight Watchers that would be great for turning breakfast into a weeknight dinner like my Butternut Squash Noodles or Pumpkin Banana Pancakes. If you are really in a hurry, tossing some scrambled eggs into whole-wheat pasta or into a stir fry is also an option!
Frequently Asked Questions About Cooking Eggs:
What happens if I get a bad egg? This is rare, but it's not impossible. If you crack your eggs into a separate bowl before you add them in to the rest of your ingredients or your pan, you can spot a problem before ruining your recipe. Use your senses, if the color is wrong or if there is a strong odor, then the egg is bad and you shouldn't use it.
What if I drop the egg on the floor? When I learned this tip, it was a game changer. Pour salt all over the egg, and walk away for about 15 minutes. The salt will actually alter the chemical makeup of the egg to set the protein, making it a breeze to wipe up!
What if the egg is stuck to the carton? If you find an egg stuck to the carton, fill the indentation with cool water and let sit for five minutes. The water will soften the dried egg white that is holding the egg.
What Is The Best Way To Make Hard Boiled Eggs? There's always the traditional way of placing them in a pot water, bringing it to a boil, then letting them sit in the water for 10 minutes before shocking them with cold water. However, you can also use an instant pot and pressure cook them for 5 minutes on high pressure. You could also use Casserole Crissy's method of making hard boiled eggs in an air fryer!
What is a Strata?
A strata is a simple dish that roughly translates into “layers”, making it a delicious option for breakfast, lunch or dinner. By layering cubed bread, spinach and tomatoes, you can create a quick and easy healthy meal. The points can vary greatly depending on the type of bread that you use.

How Do You Make Cloud Eggs?
If you are anything like me, you are getting bored and looking for something other than basic eggs for breakfast. Cloud eggs come together in just a few minutes and they taste wonderful. Reach for this recipe whenever you have overnight guests or when you simply want to jazz up your weekend brunch menu.
Tips for Making Cloud Eggs
- When preparing Cloud Eggs, it is much easier to add the yolks to the baked egg white “clouds” if you place them in individual containers after separating them from the whites. (If you place them all into a single bowl, they are much more difficult to transfer to the individual “clouds” without breaking).
- Another tip when making Cloud Eggs: If you don’t want to dirty several bowls or containers, use the larger half of the broken egg shell to hold the yolks while the egg white “clouds” are baking. Place them back in the egg carton or next to each other in a small bowl to prevent the yolk from spilling out, then simply pour them into the individual “clouds” before returning to the oven.
- A final Cloud Eggs tip: Make sure the indent you create in your egg “clouds” before baking is deep enough. Otherwise, it may disappear during baking and there won’t be anywhere to place the yolks.
Recipe For Cloud Eggs
Perfect Cloud Eggs
Make your breakfast an experience with our delicious cloud eggs with parmesan cheese. You'll love the light texture and the flavor of melted cheese — perfect for those days when you need a little something extra to start your day off right.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp reduced fat grated parmesan
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped, divided
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Position oven rack to the center position. Preheat oven to 450°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Crack and separate eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and reserving the yolks in another bowl.* Season egg whites with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula while blending to incorporate all of the egg white.
- Gently fold in 2/3 of the feta cheese and chives into the bowl, being careful not to deflate the egg whites in the process. Spoon the whipped egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into four piles, leaving plenty of room between each mound. With the back of a spoon, create an indent in the center of each mound and place baking sheet on center rack in preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, remove from oven and transfer reserved yolks into the indent of each mount. Sprinkle each mound with half of the remaining cheese and fresh chives and return to oven and bake another 3 minutes or until yolks are set and egg whites are golden brown.
- Remove egg clouds from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chives and serve immediately.
Notes
*For best results, reserve the egg yolks in small, individual dishes rather than in one larger bowl.
