Eggs in Purgatory, an Italian favorite, involves gently cooking eggs in tomato sauce (with some regional variations) and can fit neatly into breakfast, lunch or dinner. Our rendition features anchovies for an infusion of savory flavor, and baby spinach to pack in extra veggies. Cracking the eggs in a bowl before you slide them into the pan will ensure that you don\u2019t get unwanted shells in the dish and helps keep the yolks from breaking so they remain soft and runny when they blend with the sauce.\n<\/p>\n

Wheat berries, a nutty-tasting whole grain with a pleasantly chewy texture, are the base of this hearty breakfast bowl recipe.

These overnight oats are chock-full of classic strawberry-cheesecake flavors\u2014from the rich cream cheese layers to the sweet strawberry base, this feels like dessert for breakfast in the best way possible. If strawberries aren\u2019t at their peak, swap them out for raspberries, blueberries or chopped stone fruit like peaches or nectarines. You could try frozen strawberries, but they may add more liquid to the mixture.\n<\/p>\n
