We all love to have a repertoire of simple recipes that work when we're short on time and these 16 Simple Egg Recipes will do just that. Because you can use the time you save doing so many other things!

Time is the one currency we have that we can't earn more of. You can't work an extra hour at the office to get more time in your time bank. You can't take back empty cans of time to the recycling depot to earn some extra minutes. Time is a finite resource and the only control we have over it is how we spend it!
Which is why simple, time saving recipes that are healthy and delicious are such a gift. No rushing around, no wondering if you have the ingredients in the pantry - instead you can whip up a dish in minutes for the whole family. And saving 20 minutes during dinner prep is 20 extra minutes you have to spend with your kids, reading a book or having a soak in the tub.
It's also 20 minutes you can spend taking a casserole to a lonely neighbour, shoveling the walk of a friend who just had surgery or volunteering for a cause in your community that's near and dear to you.
That's why we like to call these #RecipesThatGive. Because they do just that - give you back time to spend on things that are important to you - especially over the holiday season - so that you can give back to those around you who might need a little extra helping hand.
Eggs are as simple as it gets - the number of quick and easy recipes you can make with the simple egg are impossible to count. And Canadian Egg Farmers donate over 1.4 million eggs to Canadian food banks every year so that everyone can have access to a fresh, simple and nutritious food. (Did you know over 1 million Canadians visit a food bank once a month in this country.).
We brought 15 food bloggers from across Canada together to share their favourite simple egg recipe that gives them back some time to spend on other things and whether it's breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, you'll find an easy to make, oh so tasty egg recipe here that will work for you!
