If you have high cholesterol or are trying to keep your levels low, you might be wondering if eggs are okay to eat.

There is even evidence that the type of saturated fat in eggs might not be as harmful as other types. And did you know that egg yolk has antioxidants?

Each of these high-protein recipes includes at least 15 grams of protein per serving, so you'll get a healthy dose of this filling nutrient. Whether you make yourself a batch of baked eggs for the week or whip up a quick hash on the weekend, these meals are healthy, tasty ways to enjoy eggs.
