Importance of eggs


When it comes to simple and quick breakfast options, eggs are one of the most wholesome foods to start the day with. Packed with high-quality protein, healthy fats, and vital nutrients like vitamins A, D, B12, and choline, they provide lasting energy and help keep you full for longer, reducing the urge to snack mid-morning. Also, they are one of the most versatile ingredients that can be adapted into countless recipes. Here we have curated a list of 5 foods that one can combine with eggs to have tastier breakfasts beyond a simple boiled egg or a plain masala omelette.

2/6

Avocado


They offer creamy texture that balances well with eggs. They together add healthy fats and fiber to your breakfast and keep you full longer. Simply make avocado & scrambled egg toast and enjoy with coffee or iced tea on the side.

3/6

Tomatoes



They are juicy, tangy, and rich in antioxidants like lycopene which cuts through the richness of eggs and make for a healthy treat. One can simply make Masala omelette with tomato & onions and enjoy it with toast on the side.

4/6

Whole Grains (Bread / Roti / Oats)


Whole grains in the form of bread, roti, or oats can be clubbed with eggs that provide complex carbs and fiber for steady energy. They simply turn eggs into a complete meal. All you need to do is combine boiled eggs with oats upma or omelette wrap in whole-wheat roti and enjoy.

5/6

Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Methi)



Leafy greens like spinach, kale, or methi can also be paired with eggs for a healthy breakfast. They together boost iron, calcium, and vitamins. These greens are light, earthy and taste perfectly with eggs. One can make Spinach scrambled eggs or palak egg bhurji for breakfast.

6/6

Beans (Rajma, Black beans, Chickpeas)



For those who love beans and their texture, they can be clubbed with eggs to make a protein and fiber rich breakfast that can help regulate blood sugar. Beans like rajma, black beans or chickpeas together with eggs make for Mexican-style breakfast options. Beans with fried eggs, or Indian chole with boiled eggs also make for a delightful treat.
