Eggs benedict This timeless breakfast option is a favourite specially in America. It combines the richness of poached eggs with the creamy hollandaise sauce placed on the toasted English muffin along with a slice of Canadian bacon or smoked salmon.

Spanish tortilla This is a classic spnish dish made with eggs, potatoes and onions. The result is a thick, omelet that is crispy on the outside ad tender on the inside. This can be enjoyed bot warm or at room temperature.

Sunny-side up One of the most common and hassle-free breakfast option. Cracking an egg into a pan and seasoning with salt are all it takes. Just remember to keep the heat down around medium so that the whites are just set before the yolk overcooks.

Classic over-easy fried eggs If you are not a  runny egg person then this firmly cooked fried eggs can be your saviour. The trick is to carefully flip and serve the eggs upside down. You'll cook them almost all the way through on one side, then flip and continue cooking for just five to 10 seconds more.

Poached eggs This is a tricky one. All you need to do is start with fresh eggs, drain off the excess whites with a strainer, and carefully lower them into water heated to just below a simmer. This can be easily reheated. 

Soft-boiled eggs A soft-boiled egg, served in a quaint eggcup with a small spoon to tap into the shell, makes a nice, slightly old-fashioned addition to a breakfast spread. The trick is to lower the eggs in simmering water for exactly six minutes.

Classic french omelette Place an unscratched nonstick pan over medium heat, pour in beaten eggs and stir them rapidly. Once the egg starts to set, spread it in an even layer, roll it down onto itself by tilting the pan, then turn it out onto a serving plate.

Avocado and egg toast This nutritious breakfast option includes avocado and egg on your favourite toast. Simply mash a ripe avocado on a toasted bread and place a sunny-side up or poached eggs. Top it with salt and pepper. 

Soufflé omelette with cheese A soufflé omelette will get you the same fluffy, cloudlike texture associated with a soufflé. All it takes is separating the eggs, beating the whites to glossy peaks, and folding them back in with the beaten yolks. Then add grated cheese  an cook over medium heat in a skillet.
