News: 13 Delicious Egg-in-the-Hole Remixes You Gotta Try

Okay, so you've read our guide on how to make the perfect poached egg. Maybe you've also read our tutorials on making great hard-boiled eggs and even scrambled hard-boiled eggs. Now comes the question: what's next?

Well, it's time to look at what accompanies the egg. You can't always eat it on an English muffin or toast. That can get pretty stale after a while (pun intended). Why not get innovative and figure out new ways to serve up eggs—ones in their own edible containers?

#1. Egg in the Hole

This dish always makes people smile. Here's a classic take on it:

There's also this adorable version, for someone you love:

If you really want to go the extra mile, you can use heart-shaped silicone molds to make this egg-and-bacon version:

Or skip the meat and make a grilled cheese egg in the hole:

Or use a waffle instead:

#2. Cook Eggs in Polenta

Want to serve your eggs for breakfast or dinner? Then go the more sophisticated route and put them in a dish of polenta:

#4. Why Not Tomato Sauce?

You could also enjoy a favorite breakfast from the Middle East and North Africa, shakshuka, and cook your eggs in a bubbling skillet of spicy tomato sauce, greens, cheese, and chilis:

#5. Or a Potato

But if you need to rush out the door, an edible container, like a potato, is probably your best bet:

#6. Try a Sweet Potato

If you're really trying to eat nutrient-dense foods, you can swap out that russet potato for a sweet potato:

#7. Go for the Gusto: Cook an Egg in an Avocado

Then again, an avocado is both healthy and colorful:

#8. Or a Bell Pepper

But if you really want to go for color, bell peppers can't be beat:

If you're not a fan of peppers, onions may be more your style:

If the mushroom is big enough to fit the egg, it'll work:

#11. Give It a Fruity Taste

If you want a more citrusy taste, try an orange on for size:

#12. Cut to the Chase & Cook Eggs Wrapped in Bacon

I mean, who are we kidding here? This is really the best of both worlds:

#13. Ham It Up

You can always pay tribute to Dr. Seuss and make green eggs and ham cups:
