Eggs are one of the most versatile proteins out there. That’s why when we see a carton of eggs, we don’t just see high-quality protein and a host of vitamins and minerals, we see a carton of possibilities. OK, we’ll lay off the cheese for now (but we’ll revisit it later—cheese and eggs are a perfect pair!), but what we can tell you for sure is that there’s a lot more to quick hard boiled (also known as hard boiled, check out our easy tutorial for hard boiled eggs here!) eggs for breakfast or a good scramble. A carton of eggs is all you need to get started on these updated classics:
