We’ve been told since we were little kids that the most important meal of the day is breakfast. Fueling up on protein and other nutrients in the morning can help keep us awake and focused throughout the day. A great way to get plenty of protein and stay full until lunch is eating eggs for breakfast. They have 6 grams of protein and a number of other nutrients.

Here are five international egg recipes to help you stray away from the simple, everyday scrambled or fried eggs.
