High-Protein Eggs Recipes
High-protein egg recipes for breakfast, lunch, or wherever they fit.
Egg recipes here run 11g to 17g of protein per serving. A single egg doesn't carry a huge protein number on its own, so these recipes add something else, like cottage cheese, cheddar, or oats, to push the total higher.
The white carries slightly more of the egg's total protein than the yolk, but the yolk isn't protein-free, so none of these recipes go whites-only. Cutting the yolk trims fat and calories along with some protein, not just fat, which isn't the trade these recipes are making.

FAQ
How much protein is in a typical egg recipe here?
Recipes in this collection run 11g to 17g of protein per serving. A single large egg carries a modest protein number on its own, so most egg-based recipes here add cheese, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a second protein source to push the total higher.
Is most of an egg's protein in the white or the yolk?
The white carries slightly more total protein, but the yolk isn't protein-free. Splitting a recipe to whites-only cuts fat and calories along with some protein, not just fat.
