May is National Egg Month and there’s no better way to start your day than with eggs! That’s why we’ve compiled these Easy Eggs 9-Ways as your go-to guide for cooking the classics along with a few new and innovative recipes that think outside the box and keep your breakfast fun!
Quick fun fact, did you know that a traditional chef’s hat has 100 pleats? Well, those 100 pleats represented 100 different ways to prepare an egg! While you may not become a “master chef” and learn all 100 ways, we hope these 9 recipes below will help you get a jump start on your egg making skills!
Scrambled
Scrambled eggs are an easy, go-to classic and one of the most versatile breakfast options to keep everyone happy! The trick to a lighter and fluffier scramble? A thorough and vigorous beating will whip more air into your eggs resulting in the perfectly textured bite.
Ingredients (serves 4)
4 large Noah’s Pride eggs
¼ cup milk
2 tsp butter
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add eggs.
- Gently pull, lift and fold the eggs with a spatula as they begin to set and are cooked to your liking.
- Enjoy!
Hard-Boiled
Making the perfect hard-boiled eggs is all in the cook time and the age of the eggs. Did you know that the older eggs are the easier they will peel? That’s because fresher eggs have a stickier membrane which easily sticks to your cooked eggs and can make peeling difficult. Over time, the membrane will naturally begin to separate itself from the shell, making peeling a breeze!
Ingredients (serves 6)
6 large Noah’s Pride eggs
Instructions
- In a saucepan, place eggs in a single layer and cover with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove saucepan from burner, cover and let sit for about 12 minutes.
- Remove eggs immediately and run under cold water or place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Peel and enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later!
Poached
There’s nothing quite like a good eggs benedict with the perfectly poached egg, but most people are intimidated when it comes to poaching eggs at home. All you need is a saucepan and a slotted spoon! Contrary to hard-boiled eggs, fresh eggs tend to poach best as they area bit firmer and tend to hold their shape better.
Ingredients (serves 4)
4 large Noah’s Pride eggs
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 to 3 inches of water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cooking only one egg at a time, crack each egg into a small dish and gently slip into the simmering water.
- Allow egg to cook until the whites set, and the yolk begins to thicken, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Do not stir.
- Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the egg from the pan and allow to drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired and enjoy!

- Top with chives and enjoy!
Sunny Side
Whether you call them sunny side or fried eggs, this is another classic that you can’t go wrong with. The key to avoiding a tough or rubbery texture is to keep your heat low and steady. Again, fresh eggs work best here both for holding their shape and for having a compact and firm yolk.
