Runny yolk lovers can be enthusiastic about ordinary poached eggs, but why not add a little more texture with some bread crumbs? 

1. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Cookies

Because cookies are classic, and savory cookies are life-changing. This creative recipe from Spoon’s own series, “Make it Into a Cookie,” is a must-try.

If eggs are the reason you get out of bed every morning, you better get cooking. Just don’t get too “egg-sited!”
