10 Egg Breakfasts for the Eggs-Or-Nothing Diehards
Some people read a breakfast menu and don't even glance at the pancake section. Their eyes scan for eggs first, and if a dish doesn't have them, it isn't a real breakfast.
If that's you, this list is for you. Ten breakfasts we make where eggs are the whole dish, not a supporting ingredient. Quiches, frittatas, egg cups, an omelet baked into a slice you can eat with a fork. No defaulting to pancakes and syrup when what you actually wanted was a properly cooked egg.
In this blog, I have put together 11 of our salads that pair greens with fresh fruit, grouped by which fruit leads the bowl. I've put apples first because apple-paired salads are the family our customers reorder most, followed by strawberries and berries, mandarin oranges, and pineapples and tropical fruit.
These are the egg-heavy breakfasts we deliver most often. The order tells you which ones our customers reach for first, but I'd happily eat any of them on any given morning. Some are top sellers across the whole menu, and others are quieter favorites that the regulars know about but newer customers tend to walk past. So, take a look and pick whichever ones catch your eye.
1. Quiche Lorraine
Of all the breakfasts where eggs are the centerpiece, this one goes out our door more than any other. We make it with savory bacon, onion, and melted cheese baked into a buttery, flaky crust, the way a Lorraine has been done since long before any of us were running a kitchen. The reason it sells the way it does is the same reason most quiches sell. One slice gives you eggs, cheese, and bacon on a single fork. Order this the morning you want breakfast handled before your coffee is finished.
2. Sausage, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Quiche
The loaded version is exactly what it sounds like. We bake crispy bacon, juicy sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese into the same buttery, flaky crust, and the slice that comes out feels closer to a full breakfast than a wedge of pie. It's the second-most-ordered egg-forward breakfast on the menu, and the reason is obvious once you've eaten it. You don't need anything else on the plate.
3. Ham and Cheddar Quiche
After the bacon-heavy versions, this is the one people pick when they want a quiche that doesn't lean on smoke. We bake tender ham with melted cheddar in a flaky crust, seasoned hearty but not heavy. It's the third-most-ordered egg-forward breakfast on the menu, which surprises people who assume eggs and ham together is the unambitious version of quiche. It's just done well. Order this when you want eggs that taste like Sunday morning at your grandmother's table, not like brunch in a magazine.
4. Sausage and Egg Frittata
The frittata shifts away from quiche format. Instead of a crust, we bake fresh pork sausage with hash browns, bell pepper, scallions, and cheesy scrambled eggs into individual muffin cups. Each portion goes out with fresh cut fruit on the side. You get the meat-and-eggs payoff without bread underneath, which some egg lovers prefer because nothing competes with the eggs. This is a top-five egg-forward breakfast on the menu for that reason. Reach for this when you want sausage and eggs without the crust.
5. Rise and Shine Breakfast
Vegetable people, this is for you. We scramble fresh eggs with chives, bake them with potato, broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and green onions, and the dish goes out with fresh cut fruit. It's eggs and a garden's worth of vegetables baked together, with no crust or meat in the picture. Most people wouldn't guess a vegetable-and-egg dish would crack the top five among our egg breakfasts, but this one does. Go with this when you want eggs and vegetables and nothing else.
Heating is the only step
Every breakfast on this list arrives fully cooked and is ready to eat. A few minutes in the microwave or about ten minutes in the oven is all it takes. The exact temperature and time are printed on the label of every container.
6. Broccoli Bacon & Cheddar Quiche
We roast the broccoli before it goes into the custard, which is the difference between a vegetable quiche that tastes like an obligation and one that tastes like a meal. Add smoky bacon and sharp cheddar to a rich, creamy egg custard in a flaky crust and you've got a slice that holds its own against the heavier picks above. Order this when you want a vegetable without giving up the bacon-and-cheese register.
7. Everything Breakfast Quiche
The Everything is the kitchen-sink quiche. The menu sums it up best — "all your morning favorites in one slice" — and that is the whole pitch. Every breakfast staple loaded into a single quiche, no choices to make. If the loaded version above is breakfast taken straight, this is breakfast with nothing held back. Pick this when you want a breakfast that does the most in one fork.
8. Loaded Omelet Quiche
The Loaded Omelet tastes like a diner omelet, which is what the menu description says, and we left it there because there isn't a better way to put it. The format is the quiche we make, but the flavor profile comes out closer to the omelet you'd get if you sat down at a counter and ordered one. It's also easier to eat than a folded omelet, which matters if you're eating it at a desk or in a car. Order this when you wish you were at a diner but you don't feel like driving to one.
9. Spinach And Feta Egg Cups
We bake eggs, spinach, and feta into cup-sized portions you can hold in one hand and finish in three bites. The menu calls them a grab-and-go breakfast, which is accurate. They're for the mornings when breakfast has to happen between getting in the car and getting where you're going. Order these when you don't have time to sit down.
10. Ham and Asparagus Frittata
The last one is the quiet one. We oven-bake the Ham and Asparagus Frittata with fresh asparagus, ham, and sharp cheese, and it goes out with cut fruit on the side. It's the most under-ordered breakfast on this list, and I'd argue that's only because asparagus on a breakfast plate is a less common request than bacon or sausage. If you actively like asparagus, this one was made for you.
A note about the menu before you order
We run a different menu every day, so some of the breakfasts on this list won't be available the day you visit. The live menu is the place to check what's cooking today. If your top pick isn't on it, give us a day or two and check back. Most of these come around regularly.
The full menu is one click away. Pick what catches your eye and we'll bring it to your door.
