Eggs: Theme & Variations

I was thinking through my favorite breakfasts and came to the conclusion that I rarely have an egg-free one. So, hopefully this doesn't count as too common because I'm going to show how my standard egg recipes have evolved into something a little more eggs-trordinary. hee hee hee.

I like these because pretty much all of the prep work can be done the night before and it makes me feel as if you're having a fancy breakfast.
