Spinach & Egg Scramble with Raspberries

This quick egg scramble with hearty bread is one of the best breakfasts for weight loss. It combines protein-packed eggs and superfood raspberries with filling whole-grain toast and nutrient-rich spinach.

For a larger meal, serve them with toast, a bagel, or avocado toast, breakfast potatoes, or your favorite fresh fruit. Scrambled eggs are also a great choice for a laid-back weekend brunch. I like to serve them with something sweet, like one of these recipes: Banana Pancakes.

Omelet. The Spruce Eats. An omelet uses one or more beaten eggs that are cooked quickly (usually flat) in a frying pan. Omelets are often folded over a filling of cheese, vegetables, meat, or a combination of ingredients.

What is an egg with a runny yolk called? ›

An egg can float in water when its air cell has enlarged sufficiently to keep it buoyant. This means the egg is old, but it may be perfectly safe to use. Crack the egg into a bowl and examine it for an off-odor or unusable appearance before deciding to use or discard it.

Over hard or over well. Cooked on both sides all the way through, with the yolk broken (immediately after the egg is cracked). Sunny-side up. Cooked on one side only, until the egg white is set, but the yolk remains liquid.

Over Easy. Over easy is the most challenging type of cooked egg because you have to make the flip. One of the best egg tools to use for a successful flip is the silicone spatula.

The champion of tough eggs may well be a tiny crustacean called Eucypris virens.
