Top Egg Dishes In South Florida

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but there is no law against having egg-centric dishes at lunch, brunch or dinner. To some, having breakfast later on in the day is a guilty pleasure and a delight, eschewing the routine of only having it upon waking up. There are great egg-centric dishes that cater to healthy eaters and also to non-healthy eaters who like to feel different textures on their palate during a meal. There is the yolk which has a high content of cholesterol but also nutritional vitamins (A, D, E and K) and the egg white which is a great source of protein. For the health-conscious, eating eggs is a meat substitute and can help with controlling meal portions.
