It’s versatile, quick and really quite delicious if cooked right. Eggs are a part of most of our daily lives. It’s chameleon like ability to transform from a light poached egg to an omelet to a protein-laden boiled egg just makes it one of the best things to stock in your larder.
What’s even better is that eggs don’t restrict them to only one kind of meal – you can have eggs for breakfast, lunch or dinner thanks to the fact that they cook up beautifully with herbs and spices.
Nutritious and appetizing, here are five ways to make the best possible meals with eggs:

While the name is exotic this Tunisian Arabic dish is really quite simple.
